摘要:
操作易变形的柔性容器(如装有液体的一次性塑料杯)需要在极窄的力裕度内实时调整抓取力:力不足会导致滑动,力过大则会使薄壁不可逆变形。现有方法难以完成此类力敏感操作任务。我们提出一种基于噪声统计的标定驱动反射控制范式,结合基于视觉的触觉感知:通过分析传感器的固有噪声特性(通过简短的静态保持-卸载协议),直接推导出所有控制器阈值,消除了外部力标定、试错手动调参或材料特定的物理模型。实现该范式,我们提出了TactileReflex,一个三通道闭环控制器,从双视觉触觉传感器中提取三个图像级代理:剪切强度($S_y$)、接触强度($F_n$)和压力中心($C$),并以约12Hz驱动优先反射通道,用于滑动抑制、重量自适应释放和力保护。每个通道通过噪声导出的阈值直接在其代理上闭环。消融实验表明,只有完整的三通道系统能够防止容器不可逆变形(5/5成功,而部分配置最多1/5成功)。在动态倾倒任务中,固定力基线因姿态漂移在所有10次尝试中均失败,而TactileReflex在两种水量下实现了9/10成功。作为一个自包含且可解释的控制器,TactileReflex可作为高层操作流水线(包括无触觉VR遥操作和视觉-语言-动作策略)的即插即用安全层。
英文摘要:
Manipulating fragile deformable containers, such as disposable plastic cups filled with liquid, demands real-time grip-force adaptation within an extremely narrow force margin: insufficient force causes slip, while excessive force irreversibly deforms the thin wall. Existing approaches struggle to achieve such force-sensitive manipulation tasks. We propose a noise-statistics-based calibration-driven reflex control paradigm with vision-based tactile sensing: by analyzing the sensor's intrinsic noise characteristics (via a brief static-hold-and-unload protocol), we directly derive all controller thresholds, eliminating external force calibration, trial-and-error manual tuning, or material-specific physical models. Instantiating this paradigm, we present TactileReflex, a three-channel closed-loop controller that extracts three image-level proxies, shear intensity ($S_y$), contact intensity ($F_n$), and center of pressure ($C$), from dual visuo-tactile sensors and drives prioritized reflex channels at ~12 Hz for slip suppression, weight-adaptive release, and force protection. Each channel closes the loop directly on its proxy via noise-derived thresholds. Ablation demonstrates that only the full three-channel system is able to prevent irreversible container deformation (5/5 success vs. at most 1/5 for partial configurations). In a dynamic pouring task, fixed-effort baselines fail in all 10 attempts due to pose drift, while TactileReflex achieves 9/10 success across two water volumes. As a self-contained and interpretable controller, TactileReflex can serve as a plug-and-play safety layer beneath high-level manipulation pipelines, including haptic-free VR teleoperation and vision-language-action (VLA) policies.
