    Abstract:

    Due to the high flexibility and environmental adaptability of remote-operational manipulators, they are increasingly used to complete tasks in special situations. An FBG sensor-based glove for the remote operation of manipulator is proposed to meet the demand for high-precision remote operation of manipulator in hazardous environments. A bending measurement model of fiber Bragg grating sensors in gloves is established. The central wavelength variation of fiber Bragg grating sensor is found to be directly proportional to the bending angle. Combined with the control of the manipulator servo, a method for remote operation of manipulator using fiber Bragg grating sensors is proposed. The upper computer software is developed. The process from the center wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating to the bending angle of the finger, and finally to the controlled encoding of the manipulator servo is implemented. The design and packaging of the fiber Bragg grating sensors are completed. There are a total of 12 FBG sensors with a length of 10 mm in the four detection fibers of the gloves. Among them, 11 FBG sensors are deployed above the finger joints for bending sensing, and 1 FBG temperature sensor is used for temperature compensation. The FBG sensors are packaged with 704 silicone rubber. A remote operation system for the manipulator based on fiber Bragg grating sensors is built, and the fiber Bragg grating sensors are calibrated. The experimental results showed that the average bending angle error was 1. 147° within the range of 0° ~ 90° bending of the human hand joint. The determination coefficients of all fitted lines are greater than 0. 993. Finally, a human-computer interaction demonstration module is designed to display the movement of the human hand. The glove based on fiber Bragg grating sensors proposed in this article has the characteristics of miniaturization, high precision, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. It has potential applications in spacecraft in orbit maintenance, remote medical surgery, high-risk mine clearance operations, and so on.
