Movement Detection in Soft Robotic Gripper Using Sinusoidally Embedded Fiber Optic Sensor

Abstract: Soft robotics is an emerging field, since it offers distinct opportunities in areas where conventional rigid robots are not a feasible solution. However, due to the complex motions of soft robots and the stretchable nature of soft building materials, conventional electronic and fiber optic sensors cannot be used in soft robots, thus, hindering the soft robots’ ability to sense and respond to their surroundings. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensors are very popular among various fiber optic sensors, but thei… Show more

“…In the past decades, significant progress has been made to develop sensing capabilities with high sensitivity, high resolution, and fast response in flexible and stretchable substrates with a large area 27 . Different sensing mechanisms have been proposed and demonstrated, including electrical signal transduction strategies such as resistive 8 , capacitive 1 , piezoelectric 2 , and triboelectric 3 methods, or detection strategies based on optical waveguide structures, such as stretchable waveguides 16 , optical fibers 17 19 , and fiber Bragg gratings 28 , 29 . Although these sensing mechanisms can play a crucial role in detecting different types of physical stimuli, most of the currently available sensors focus on detecting only a single physical stimulus and cannot distinguish between multiple stimuli simultaneously.…”

“…The principle of strain in FOS usually uses a bending method with various patterns such as circular [17], straight [18], and sinusoidal [19]. However, sinusoidal patterns proved to be more effective than other forms in detecting changes in sensor parameters in the human body [20]. Therefore, the FOS technology developed in this study uses a sinusoidal configuration of SMF and FBG arranged in an elastic belt which is then attached to the diaphragm.…”
