Description

Exoskeleton robot platform communication protocol and online simulation control system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robot simulation, in particular to an exoskeleton robot platform communication protocol and an online simulation control system.
Background
The exoskeleton robot technology is a comprehensive technology which integrates sensing, control, information, fusion and mobile computing and provides a wearable mechanical mechanism for a person as an operator. In technical application, the exoskeleton robot can be divided into a rehabilitation exoskeleton robot for rehabilitation training, an auxiliary exoskeleton robot for walking assistance and an enhanced exoskeleton robot for assisting power enhancement.
The exoskeleton robot is taken as wearable intelligent equipment with strong man-machine coupling, the human factor engineering design is not only reflected in the comfortable wearing feeling, and the built-in human motion intention recognition system, the motion control algorithm, the external control terminal and other man-machine interaction schemes are also important components of the exoskeleton robot.
The human-computer interaction scheme of the exoskeleton robot is mainly used for a controller to transmit control information to an exoskeleton robot system, and the conventional human-computer interaction scheme can be divided into two types of passive perception type interaction and active control type interaction.
The passive sensing type interaction scheme is not limited to a human motion intention recognition system based on built-in mechanical sensing and a position sensor, a human motion intention detection system based on external electroencephalogram and electromyogram signals and the like, the intelligent degree of the interaction scheme is high, but relatively, the algorithm running calculation power requirement is high, and a high requirement is put forward to a processor;
the active control type interaction scheme comprises but is not limited to dominant control information input forms based on wearable devices such as airborne keys, touch display screen controllers, computers, smart phones, smart watches and AR glasses, the system stability of the interaction scheme is high, the implementation difficulty is relatively low, and development can be completed by relying on external devices.
In actual system design and application, the two schemes are generally mixed and matched for use, and the specific control terminal is also composite and diversified. The complete single-power exoskeleton robot system at least comprises three major components: mechanical structure and motion executor, main control and storage unit, sensing and other input devices. In the robot control scheme, the main controller executes corresponding algorithm programs in the storage unit based on the acquired information of the input equipment, and the mechanical structure and the motion actuator are used as controlled objects to execute corresponding actions. Through a distributed intelligent control system, cloud computing, 5G and other low-delay communication technologies, complex algorithms in a control system in a traditional exoskeleton robot can be migrated to other platforms, the exoskeleton robot system is simplified into a single execution unit, and therefore centralized management and decentralized control under the use of an exoskeleton cluster are achieved.
The exoskeleton robot is used as a typical application case of man-machine coupling, the combination application of various man-machine interaction forms and interaction terminals is very wide, but due to the difference of a man-machine interaction terminal operation platform, a connection mode and control authority, higher requirements are provided for the adaptability of the exoskeleton robot and the man-machine interaction terminal.
For the exoskeleton robot body, firstly, corresponding hardware connection schemes (wired RS232/485, CAN, network cable, wireless bluetooth, WiFi and the like) need to be equipped, and meanwhile, different interface protocols used need to be customized according to different external terminal requirements. Therefore, the types and complexity of the interface protocols of the exoskeleton robot body can be increased along with the increase of platform connection terminals. Secondly, for external terminals, the usage can be divided into three categories: the data platform monitors and displays, functions, operations and debugging control; a data platform monitoring display terminal generally needs to acquire normal electric quantity, attitude angle and operation state information from an exoskeleton robot body, and displays, stores or processes the information into a chart form for monitoring or data analysis; a function operation terminal, generally referred to as an external controller, needs to transmit related control information, such as parameters of startup and shutdown, switching of working modes, power level adjustment and the like, to the exoskeleton robot; the debugging control terminal generally takes over the exoskeleton robot completely, acquires motion sensing information of the exoskeleton robot body on line in real time, analyzes and processes the motion sensing information at the remote terminal, and returns the motion sensing information to the exoskeleton robot to control the motion of the exoskeleton robot. The three types of terminals have differences from the type of the running platform to the type and the number of parameters transmitted by the running platform and the exoskeleton robot, the real-time requirements of the parameters and the control authority level of the terminals, and the single development can cause higher complexity of the whole system, redundant program codes and poorer compatibility.
In addition, exoskeleton robot technology belongs to the leading-edge technology, relates to sensing, control, information, mobile computation and other directions, and has more research points for related control, information, computation and other researches besides robot body design.
