description This paper presents the development and validation of a polymer optical-fiber strain-gauge sensor based on the light-coupling principle to measure axial deformation of elastic tendons incorporated in soft actuators for wearable assistive robots. An analytical model was proposed and further validated with experiment tests, showing correlation with a coefficient of R = 0.998 between experiment and theoretical data, and reaching a maximum axial displacement range of 15 mm and no significant hysteresis. Furthermore, experiment tests were carried out attaching the validated sensor to the elastic tendon. Results of three experiment tests show the sensor’s capability to measure the tendon’s response under tensile axial stress, finding 20.45% of hysteresis in the material’s response between the stretching and recovery phase. Based on these results, there is evidence of the potential that the fiber-optical strain sensor presents for future applications in the characterization of such tendons and identification of dynamic models that allow the understanding of the material’s response to the development of more efficient interaction-control strategies.

Se propuso un modelo analítico y se validó con pruebas experimentales, mostrando una correlación con un coeficiente de R = 0,998 entre los datos experimentales y los teóricos, y alcanzando un rango de desplazamiento axial máximo de 15 mm y sin histéresis significativa. Además, se realizaron pruebas experimentales fijando el sensor validado al tendón elástico. Los resultados de tres pruebas experimentales muestran la capacidad del sensor para medir la respuesta del tendón bajo tensión axial de tracción, encontrando un 20,45% de histéresis en la respuesta del material entre la fase de estiramiento y la de recuperación. A partir de estos resultados, se evidencia el potencial que presenta el sensor de deformación de fibra óptica para futuras aplicaciones en la caracterización de este tipo de tendones y la identificación de modelos dinámicos que permitan entender la respuesta del material para el desarrollo de estrategias de interacción-control más eficientes.Biomedical Engineering Department, Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito, Bogotá 111166, Colombia; marcela.munera@escuelaing.edu.co (M.M.); carlos.cifuentes@escuelaing.edu.co (C.A.C.)Graduate Program of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Espirito Santo, Vitoria 29075-910, Brazil; leal-junior.arnaldo@ieee.org (A.L.-J.); c.rodriguez.2016@ieee.org (C.R.D.); frizera@ieee.org (A.F.)Correspondence: jonathan.casas@escuelaing.edu.co; Tel.: +57-350-885-8697Received: 1 April 2019; Accepted: 29 April 2019; Published: 3 May 201917 páginasapplication/pdfengMDIPSuizahttps://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/12/9/1443Large-Range Polymer Optical-Fiber Strain-Gauge Sensor for Elastic Tendons in Wearable Assistive RobotsArtículo de revistainfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Textinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARThttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Materials 2019, 12(9), 1443; https://doi.org/10.3390/ma12091443179112N/AMaterialsPolygerinos, P.; Correll, N.; Morin, S.A.; Mosadegh, B.; Onal, C.D.; Petersen, K.; Cianchetti, M.; Tolley, M.T.; Shepherd, R.F.
