Abstract
The measurement of low-magnitude shear forces is essential for material characterization and in-hand object pose estimation for robotic applications. Previous work had demonstrated the ability to directly measure force using an optical GaN nanopillar sensor when combined with Multiphysics simulations. To investigate the accuracy of Multiphysics simulations, we use a commercially available six-axis force/torque sensor as our stress applicator with a polymer stamp mounted on the force sensing element. By investigating the accuracy of the Multiphysics simulations, we generated a mapping between applied shear force and our nanopillar tactile sensor response. We can use this mapping for robotic gripping applications.
