The development of science and technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, and robots have become an indispensable part of people's work and life. The application of robots is becoming more and more extensive, from industrial production to healthcare, from the service industry to the education field, the application of robots has penetrated into various fields. However, the gap between robots and humans still exists, and robots lack the five senses of humans, which also limits the scope and effectiveness of robots. In order to solve this problem, the UR robot introduces a torque sensor, which gives the UR robot five senses, so as to improve the application effect and user experience of the UR robot.
A torque sensor is a sensor that can measure the rotational torque of an object, and it can convert the torque of the object into an electrical signal output. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the torque and torque of the robot, so as to realize the five senses function of the robot.

1. Give the UR robot tactile perception
Torque sensors can give the robot a sense of touch. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the contact force and pressure of the robot, thus realizing the tactile function of the robot. Through haptic functions, UR robots can perceive the shape, hardness, viscosity and other characteristics of objects, so as to better complete various tasks. For example, in industrial production, robots can detect the quality and size of products through haptic functions, thereby improving production efficiency and quality.

2. Endow the UR robot with auditory perception
Torque sensors can give the robot a sense of hearing. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the sound and vibration of the robot, thus realizing the robot's auditory function. Through the auditory function, the robot can perceive the sounds and vibrations of the surrounding environment, so as to better adapt to different environments. For example, in the service field, robots can recognize the user's voice commands and emotions through auditory functions, so as to provide more personalized services.

3. Give the UR robot visual perception
Torque sensors can give robots vision. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the position and attitude of the robot, so as to realize the visual function of the robot. Through visual functions, robots can perceive the shape, color, texture, and other characteristics of the surrounding environment, so as to better complete various tasks. For example, in the medical field, robots can recognize patients' conditions and medical records through visual functions, so as to provide more accurate treatment plans.

4. Give the robot olfactory perception
Torque sensors can give robots a sense of smell. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the smell and taste of the robot, so as to realize the robot's olfactory function. Through the olfactory function, the robot can perceive the smell and taste of the surrounding environment, so as to better adapt to different environments. For example, in food service, robots can use their olfactory functions to recognize the taste and texture of food to provide more delicious dishes.

5. Give the robot intuitive perception
Torque sensors can also give the robot intuition. In robots, torque sensors can be used to measure the robot's motion and force, enabling the robot's intuitive function. Through the intuition function, the robot can sense the movement and force of the surrounding environment, so that it can better complete various tasks. For example, in the field of education, robots can teach students a variety of sports and skills through intuitive functions.
The picture comes from the official website of UR Robot
With the introduction of torque sensors, UR robots are endowed with five senses, thereby improving the application effect and user experience of robots. In the future, with the continuous development of science and technology, the five senses of robots will become more and more perfect, and robots will be more intelligent and humanized, bringing more convenience and benefits to human beings.

Universal Robots – a common fault with welding robots
1. Welding deviation problem: it may be that the welding position is incorrect or there is a problem when looking for the welding gun. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the TCP (welding torch center point position) is accurate and adjust it. If this situation occurs frequently, it is necessary to check the zero position of each axis of the robot, and re-calibrate it to repair.
