Using the mechanism that modulating sliding friction at the contact interfaces might perceive changing tactile texture features, an ultrasonic resonance tactile dynamic perception device was proposed based on the squeeze film effect. The theoretical model of the friction-reducing mechanism of the squeeze film effect was constructed under the high squeeze factor of the squeeze film, and the mapping relationship between the friction-regulating performance and the actual material texture was established through the friction factor calibration experiments. The results show that the device may achieve the dynamic regulation of surface friction factor is as 0.295~0.807 under the excitation of 36.314 kHz resonance signals and the voltage amplitude is as 0~200 V. A LSTM neural network was used to construct a temporal force signal and tactile texture prediction model to objectively evaluate the tactile texture reproduction performance of the device, and the average error of the model prediction results is as 3.33%, which verifies the device has a good reproduction effectiveness of tactile texture.
利用测试集对模型进行测试的结果见图15,图中纵坐标轴1~6的刻度分别对应6种材质纹理,依次为打印用纸、磨砂玻璃、塑料、碳纤维、木纹(顺纹)、木纹(逆纹)。以碳纤维为例,其对应值为“4”,模型预测值越接近“4”,表明预测纹理越类似于碳纤维材质纹理。测试集预测纹理特征与真实材质纹理特征的均方根误差(root mean square error, RMSE)为2.33%,决定系数R2为0.994,验证了所建立的触觉纹理预测模型能够较准确地预测相应力信号曲线对应的纹理特征。
