Abstract

In most instances, Vacuum robots detect collisions by switch signal. Switch is not only high-cost due to harsh working environment, but also big collision noise, and direction of the collision can only be given roughly by switch installation direction. This document presents and validates a solution for detecting collisions by 3D linear hall sensor, which is not only inexpensive, but also low noise by using flexible connections, and achieve for relatively accurate collision angle values.
