Future exploration of frontier force sensing technology: OMsense force sensing principle

In the field of force sensing, it has always been a difficult problem to imitate the force sensing system of human beings and provide robots with human skin. At present, the technical route of measuring elastic variable through vision is faced with high requirements for image pixel density and elastic variable, and the proposal of OMsense sensing principle creates a breakthrough for solving this problem. OMsense The sensing principle is inspired by the insect compound eye. The lens array serves as the split lens in the compound eye, which magnifies the deformation of the variant and reduces the high requirements for image pixels and shape variables. Under the leadership of co-founders Dr. Junghwan Back and Dr. Yuchen, Haptron Scientific will continue to explore the cutting-edge technologies in the field of force sensing. It is believed that in the visible future, OMsense sensing technology is expected to be commercialized and empower all walks of life.

Based on the current commercial development of optical force sensing technology

At the beginning of its establishment, based on the original optical force sensing technology, through continuous research and development investment and technology iteration, Haptron Scientific has developed its own unique trinity of force sensing solution system. Product system from the underlying based on optical force sensing technology Photon series force perception sensor, to the middle force sensor combined with all kinds of actuators, integrated "perception + execution" end, to the top of the integration of the visual touch fusion sensing technology, adaptive feedback motion control algorithm, multiple sensor fusion overall force perception solution, three levels constitute the China force and vertical, depth of science force sensing technology research and development ability.

 

In terms of application scenarios, Haptron scientific force sensing solution has covered 5 scenarios. Multiple optical force sensors including PhotonR56, PhotonR66, PhotonR80 for collaboration / industrial robot scenarios; PhotonOne, Photon _ FD series force sensors for precision machining scenarios; Photon micro series force sensors for medical device scenarios; Photon_AO, Photon_Bike series force sensors for new energy travel scenarios. Multi-scene and multi-model constitute a rich and segmented product matrix, which can meet the needs of customers in various segments.

 

In terms of product miniaturization, thanks to the technical advantages of optical force sensing principle, Haptron scientific has made breakthroughs in the miniaturization of force sensor. Haptron Scientific has launched the world's smallest known medical force sensor Photon micro. The series of second-generation force sensors is only 6mm in diameter. At the same time, the sensor center also retains 4mm through hole, which can be widely used in all kinds of medical devices, giving the force perception ability of medical devices.

 

As a pioneer of micro force sensors in the field of force sensing, in the face of the current manufacturing upgrading trend, Haptron Scientific will continue to increase investment in research and development, to provide market customers with more precise and miniature force sensors and overall force sensing solutions, to assist major enterprises to cope with the current challenge of intelligent manufacturing transformation.
