From the project
The Halberd coupling (paper), named after its characteristic PCB shape, is a replacement of the Robotiq I/O Coupling enhanced with a Nina B301 microcontroller, developed at IDLab-AIRO, Ghent University (Belgium), imec. It is particularly suited towards robotic manipulation augmen
The Halberd coupling (paper), named after its characteristic PCB shape, is a replacement of the Robotiq I/O Coupling enhanced with a Nina B301 microcontroller, developed at IDLab-AIRO, Ghent University (Belgium), imec. It is particularly suited towards robotic manipulation augmented by tactile sensing in the fingertips: the tactile sensors can be read from the robot wrist, without the need for external power or data cables.
