ADI Creates 'Neural Endings' for Humanoid Robots
谁在为人形机器人造"神经末梢"?
ADI provides chip solutions for force sensing, tactile feedback, and power protection, offering foundational support for perception and execution layers in humanoid robots. These technologies, originally developed for automotive and drone applications, have been optimized for use in robot joints, fingers, and power systems, addressing space constraints and high-voltage management issues. ADI does not engage in full robot manufacturing but focuses on solutions for the 'neural endings' of robots, providing the industry with mature and reliable hardware support.

机械臂的关键关节装着能同时感知三个方向推力和三个方向扭力的六维力传感器，ADI提供的是内嵌其中的ADC和运放，负责把应变片的形变变成数字信号；今年新推出的ADIS16607，是一颗只有芯片级尺寸的惯性测量单元（IMU，测姿态的传感器），负责在人形机器人腰部和机械臂末端测姿态、保平衡；灵巧手指尖那块带一千个感应点的触觉板，能分辨小到0.01牛顿的力，约相当于1克物体压上去的重量变化；还有一块像皮肤一样的电阻阵列，能测出按压分布。

灵巧手内部用一对双绞线同时传信号和电，替代了原本要拉一大把线；机器人背上的电池供电，则用一颗能扛150伏高压的电子保险丝做过流保护，防止大电流烧掉后端控制板。

灵巧手这一形态上，要塞下电机、驱动芯片、触觉板，还要能持续工作八小时不"中暑"。
