Smart and highly sensitive (灵敏的), a new soft sensor developed by UBC (University of British Columbia) and Honda researchers opens the door to a wide range of applications in robotics and prosthetics (假肢).
When applied to the surface of prosthetic or robotic arms, the sensor skin provides touch sensitivity and flexibility, making it possible for difficult tasks to be completed by machines, such as picking up a piece of soft fruit. The sensor is also soft to the touch, like human skin, which helps make human interactions safer and more lifelike.
“Our sensor uses weak electric fields to sense objects, even at a distance, much as touch screens do. But unlike touch screens, this sensor is soft and can detect forces into and along its surface,” explained Dr John Madden, senior study author and a professor of electrical and computer engineering who leads the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory at UBC.
The UBC team developed the technology in cooperation with Frontier Robotics, Honda’s research institute. Honda has been innovating in humanoid robotics since the 1980s, and developed the well-known ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) robot. It has also developed devices to assist walking and the emerging Honda Avatar Robot.
“Dr Madden’s lab has significant expertise in flexible sensors and we’re happy to cooperate with this team in developing touch sensors that can be applied to robots,” said Mr Ishizaki Ryusuke, one of the study’s lead authors and chief engineer at Frontier Robotics.
Dr Madden said, “Human skin has a hundred times more sensing points on a fingertip than our technology does, making it easier to light a match or sew. As sensors continue to develop to be more skin-like, and can also detect temperature and even damage, there is a need for robots to be smarter about which sensors to pay attention to and how to respond. Developments in sensors and artificial intelligence will need to go hand in hand.”
( )1.What do we know about the new sensor
A.Its surface feels soft.
B.It is far from sensitive.
C.Its interaction with humans seems unsafe.
D.It is unable to pick up a piece of fruit.
( )2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new sensor
A.Its types.
B.Its structures.
C.Its advantages.
D.Its directions for use.
( )3.What is Mr Ishizaki Ryusuke’s attitude towards the UBC team
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unconcerned. D.Unclear.
( )4.What can be learned from the last paragraph
A.Human skin is easily hurt.
B.A fingertip has few sensing points.
C.Sensors can light matches easily.
D.Robots need further improvement.
