Background
The aging society increases the demand for safe and compliant human-robot interaction. Conventional rigid robotic arms have limitations in caregiving applications.
Research Objectives
To establish a balloon-assisted robotic system with compliant interaction capability and identify user conditions through pressure sensing signals.
Methods
The project integrates balloon actuation, pressure sensing, machine vision, and intelligent control for contact-state analysis and manipulation control.
Innovation
The proposed system utilizes balloon structures for compliant support and large-area contact while enabling real-time state recognition through sensing signals.
Expected Outcomes
The project aims to develop soft robotic technologies for patient support and caregiving, improving the safety and intelligence of human-robot interaction.
