HatsuMuv's Latest Innovation: Integrating Minerva Mitsumi Sensors into HatsuHand
HatsuMuv, a pioneering robotics company, has made significant strides by integrating Minerva Mitsumi's compact six-axis force sensor, the MMS101, into their robotic hand, HatsuHand. This experimental integration showcases the potential for enhanced functionality and precision in robotic applications. The successful operation of the sensor with HatsuHand confirms its feasibility, paving the way for a variety of future applications.
Experiment Details and Integration Process
In this groundbreaking experiment, HatsuMuv focused on incorporating the MMS101 sensor into the index finger of HatsuHand. The installation process of the sensor was carefully documented, ensuring the functionality of the robotic hand was thoroughly tested. Moreover, a specialized STEP file (3D CAD data) tailored for the sensor's application has been made available for free on GitHub, allowing developers and researchers easy access to the design.

Sensor Performance Testing and Analysis
Post-installation, a series of tests were conducted to evaluate HatsuHand's performance across various gripping and touching scenarios. The HatsuHand's ability to grasp objects was analyzed in real-time using an evaluation application known as the "Force Sensor Evaluation Program." This software allowed continuous monitoring of the sensor's responses to different forces applied during the grip. The MMS101 sensor accurately measured the forces in real-time, with the results displayed on a monitor, validating the sensor's precision and the compatibility with HatsuHand.
