 +====== Fingertip Laser Sensor ======
  
 +{{:projects:fingertip_on_paper.jpg?250x240|Fingertip sensor on paper (uses an ADNS-9500)}}

 +{{:projects:fingertip_on_hand.jpg?250x240|Sensor installed on a DLR/HIT hand}}
 +
 +This is a sensor designed to be installed on the fingertip of robotic hands. It uses an Avago ADNS-9500 laser mouse sensor to acquire information about the surface of the grasped objects, and detect slippage as well as distance to the object.
 +
 +Both software and hardware are available under free licenses. The software is released under the GPL, and the hardware board designs are available under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.
 +
 +Please see images of the sensor in this [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/amaldo/sets/72157622618481171/|flickr gallery]].
 +
 +The system is composed of 3 boards, the first one is the [[http://www.randomprojects.org/wiki/Floss-JTAG|Floss-JTAG]], then an SPI-Controller board based on a STM32 chip, and the mouse sensor board that interfaces to the ADNS9500.
 +
 +====== Paper at IROS2012 ======
 +
 +We presented [[https://ias.in.tum.de/_media/spezial/bib/maldonado12improving.pdf|this paper]] at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference in Robotics and Automation 2012 in Algarve, Portugal.
 +
 +It describes the sensor and how we use it to improve robotic grasping and manipulation.
 +
 +We are happy to hear your comments and suggestions. Also, let us know if you would like to integrate the sensor in your own robot hand or gripper. We could even supply some PCBs to make this easier. Find the author's contact info [[http://ai.uni-bremen.de/team/alexis_maldonado|here]].
 +

 +
 +====== Repository ======
 +
 +You can get the source code and board design made in Eagle here:
 +  git clone http://toychest.in.tum.de/users/maldonado/fingertip.git
 +
 +====== ARM Toolchain ======
 +
 +To install the ARM Toolchain:
 +
 +Install the following packages:
 +
 +  apt-get install flex bison libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libmpc-dev autoconf texinfo build-essential
 +
 +or in Debian/Ubuntu give this a try  (or gcc-4.6)
 +
 +  apt-get build-dep gcc-4.5
 +  
 +
 +Install xstow:
 +  apt-get install xstow
 +  
 +Also install openocd and libftdi-dev
 +  apt-get install openocd libftdi-dev
 +  
 +Add a udev rule so that the programmer can be accessed by everyone:
 +As root:
 +  echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ftdi.rules
 +  
 +And restart udev:
 +  /etc/init.d/udev restart
 +
 +
 +Make sure that ~/local/bin is in your path:
 +  echo "export PATH=${HOME}/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
 +
 +Get a new terminal (that should load your .bashrc) and continue:
 +
 +  
 +===== Compile the toolchain =====
 +
 +Go to the repository, and get the script to compile the cross-compiling toolchain:
 +  mkdir -p ~/local/DIR
 +  cd fingertip/source
 +  mkdir /tmp/compile-arm
 +  cp summon-arm-toolchain-elf-no_multilib /tmp/compile-arm
 +  cd /tmp/compile-arm
 +  ./summon-arm-toolchain-elf-no_multilib
 +
 +  
 +  
 +===== Get a pre-compiled tolchain for Ubuntu10.10 64bit =====
 +
 +If you have an 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 Linux system, you can get the compiled toolchain {{:projects:arm-toolchain-elf-nomultilib.tgz|here}}
 +
 +Uncompress the file in your local/DIR directory:
 +
 +  mkdir -p ~/local/DIR
 +  tar -xzf arm-toolchain-elf-nomultilib.tgz ~/local/DIR
 +  
 +Use xstow to install the files to your ~/local directory
 +  cd ~/local/DIR
 +  xstow arm-toolchain-elf-nomultilib
 +  
 + 
 +
 +====== Distance Classification ======
 +Information about the distance classification system is [[[projects:fingertip_distance]|here]]
 +
 +===== Laser mouse sensor board =====
 +
 +{{:projects:adns_board.png?200|Laser mouse sensor board for ADNS-9500}}
 +
 +This small board has the needed circuitry for the ADNS-9500 and is soldered directly on top of the sensor. It mostly consists of a P-MOSFET for the laser diode, and capacitors for voltage stabilization.

 +===== SPI Controller =====
 +
 +{{:projects:spictrl.png?400|SPI controller board, using the STM32}}
 +
 +This board is has an STM32 microcontroller with two independent SPI buses, and a high speed UART to connect to the Floss-JTAG. It has connectors for four laser mouse sensors. The firmware of the microcontroller is responsible for initializing the laser mouse sensors correctly, loading their firmware, and obtaining data and images for transmission to the PC.

 +===== Interconection Cables =====
 +
 +We used nice Molex connectors because they are small, solid and reliable. The only negative is that the connectors and the crimping tool are expensive.
 +If you don't need to make a lot of cables, buying pre-terminated wires is cheaper.
 +
 +See {{:ias:manuals:mouser_molex_picoblade.pdf|Mouser's catalog page}} describing the Picoblade series.

 +===== Surface recognition =====
 +
 +For recognizing the surface from the fingertip data, Humberto did several experiments, explained [[fingertip_surface|here]]
 +
 +For information about how to use ./bin/fingerpub and ./bin/surfaceClassifier in order to do surface recognition please see [[surface_classifier|here]]
