Biosimulant Artifact with Embedded Calcium Alginate Bead Sensor for Robot Impact Safety Testing

Published

Author(s)

Hongliang Shi, Nicholas G. Dagalakis

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a disposable biosimulant human tissue artifact system for robot safety testing. It is used to show a clear sign of the severe injuries caused in the case of a robot impact with a human. The fabrication method is described including the design and fabrication of the calcium alginate bead and the embedding procedure of the beads into the biosimulant artifact. The artifact system is tested with a Dynamic Impact Testing and Calibration Instrument (DITCI) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The design is useful for the preparation of new robot safety standards.
