Abstract[English]
Identifying the exact spatial relationship between a gripper and a microplate is accomplished through use of electrical signals corresponding to contact between the gripper and the microplate. An applied voltage on the gripper is maintained until such time as the gripper contacts the microplate, which is kept at a different voltage such as ground. When the gripper contacts the microplate, the gripper's voltage changes in a way that can be read by a controller. By bumping the microplate along multiple axes, or in several expected positions of microplate features, the voltage change can be read to determine the exact relative position between the microplate and the gripper.[French]
L'identification de la relation spatiale exacte entre une pince et une plaque de microtitrage est accomplie par l'utilisation de signaux électriques correspondant à un contact entre la pince et la plaque de microtitrage. Une tension appliquée sur la pince est maintenue jusqu'à ce que la pince entre en contact avec la plaque de microtitrage, qui est maintenue à une tension différente comme la masse. Lorsque la pince entre en contact avec la plaque de microtitrage, la tension de la pince varie d'une manière à pouvoir être lue par un dispositif de commande. En heurtant la plaque de microtitrage le long de multiples axes, ou dans plusieurs positions attendues d'éléments de plaque de microtitrage, la variation de tension peut être lue pour déterminer la position relative exacte entre la plaque de microtitrage et la pince.
