Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control device includes a force detector configured to detect a force in a normal direction and a force in a shearing direction of fingertips of a robot hand device respectively as a normal force and a shearing force, and an object detector configured to calculate a friction coefficient using the normal force and the shearing force detected by the force detector and to detect whether or not a thin-film object having a maximum friction coefficient different from a maximum stationary friction coefficient between the fingertips is grasped between the fingertips on the basis of the calculation result.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A control device comprising circuitry configured to detect an object grasped between a first portion and a second portion of a robot device based on at least a friction coefficient related to the first and second portions, wherein the circuitry is configured to estimate whether the object is a thin-film-like object or a non-thin-film like object based on position information of the first portion and the second portion of the robot device.…
