Abstract

Currently, intensive research is conducting in the development of new types of sensors for anthropomorphic robots. Fiber-optic sensors (FOS) with the closed optical channel witch insensitive to electromagnetic interference, operating from cryogenic (minus 200 °C) to high temperatures (+ 120 °C) and in a principally explosion-proof design are of particular interest. Samara University has developed fiber-optic sensors of tactile force (FOS-TF) and angular position (FOS-AP) of gripper phalanges based on macrobending of optical fiber. The paper describes the features of the implementation of an electronic transceiver (ET), designed for interfacing FOS with external microcontroller devices and FOS calibration. A special research facility based on the anthropomorphic robot gripper, designed to study the transfer function and calibration of FOS using ET, is considered. According to the results of the research, ET were created that provide FOS measurements with a basic reduced error which does not exceed 0.86% and an additional reduced error which does not exceed 0.54%.
