In the collision checking method of contact, be to judge having or not of collision when utilizing crash bar whether to touch object.The common practice is in the body periphery of robot crash bar to be set, and is provided with an articulation mechanism on crash bar, and connects light blocking sensor or touch sensor in the place of corresponding articulation mechanism.When bumping, close festival-gathering and shake, and one shake to this, or touch touch sensor by light blocking sensor, robot just judges and has been subjected to collision at this moment.The shortcoming of this detection method be only can collision detection have or not, but degree that can't collision detection is for example collided the size of strength.In addition, the structure of crash bar and internal lever is difficult for reaching the effect of soft collision and automatic shock-absorbing.Because resolution is not high, when the crash bar of robot is collided, can't accurately differentiate the orientation of the point of impingement, again so that the collision prevention direction may correctly be judged by robot.Also may cause misoperation in addition, for example pick-up unit be designed to when crash bar hit and during translation articulation mechanism can shake, but articulation mechanism can not shake when just bumping against the edge of crash bar, does not but know so pick-up unit has obviously bumped against barrier.And the mode of utilizing contact comes collision detection also may destroy or hurt barrier, especially human body in the movement environment.
In the collision checking method of optical profile type sensing, be black matrix if run into barrier, can reflected light, just can't detect, that is, the surface of tested object there is certain requirement; Or barrier by chance reflexes to other places with reflected light, also can't detect, that is detection angles is wide inadequately.
In the collision checking method of acoustics formula sensing, the operand that needs is big, is unfavorable for that walking keeps away barrier at a high speed.And also be easy to generate erroneous judgement in some special angle or inclined-plane.
In the collision checking method of impedance type sensing, be the variation that detects electric current and voltage at the driving circuit of wheel at any time, if motor rotates when painstaking, voltage can descend and electric current can rise, and then judges this moment to have run into barrier.If will judge by accident but run into meadow, carpet, slope etc.
In the collision checking method of magnetic sensing, need when using for the first time in environment, to arrange a large amount of magnetic stripe objects, bother very much, be applicable to the factory of environment dullness.And this method can not detect the moving obstacle that temporarily enters in the environment, and moving obstacle such as people/animal also is unwilling to be sticked magnetic mark.
In the collision checking method of electronic chart, though can keep away barrier according to the positional information of each barrier in the electronic chart, before this electronic chart is finished by complete foundation, still need be dependent on above-mentioned each method and make first the barrier of keeping away.And the error accumulation meeting of sensing system increases always, must proofread and correct always.In addition, this method also can't detect moving obstacle.

[collision checking method]
Following with reference to the collision checking method of Fig. 2-Fig. 4 detailed description according to the 1st embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is synoptic diagram when barrier collides air bag, and Fig. 3 is the force value of detected each time of air pressure detecting device of different angles or position on air bag, and Fig. 4 is the step according to the collision detection of the present invention the 1st embodiment.
With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, in step S100, at fixing at least three air bags of the periphery of body 100, present embodiment is to be example with 3 air bag 110a, 110b, 110c, make air bag 110a, 110b, 110c in abutting connection with being fan-shaped or annular (this figure be to be that the full week that annular is surrounded body 100 is an example) that radius is R, and make a zero degree position θ 0 and a terminal point angular position e (when surrounding full week, θ e=2 π).These a little air bag 110a, 110b, 110c communicate with each other by two through hole 112 at least, to transmit pressure and postpone the transmission of this pressure between air bag 110a, 110b, 110c.
Body 100 can be a robot body in above-mentioned steps S100, also can be body of dust collector, optionally the main body of collision detection and deciding.
In step S110, detect and write down all angles position θ 1, θ 2 on each air bag 110a, 110b, the 110c, θ 3 in the force value of each time, obtain P-t figure as Fig. 3.In this step, can be connected to air pressure detecting device S1, S2, S3 the angular position 1, θ 2, θ 3 of above-mentioned air bag 110a, 110b, 110c and obtain P-t figure.In Fig. 3, solid line, dotted line, dotted line are represented air pressure detecting device S1, S2, the S3 pressure curve under each measured time respectively.
θ 0=0 wherein, θ 1, θ 2, θ 3, θ x, θ e representative reach the angle of this angle position on each air bag with same clockwise (for example be all inverse clock or be all clockwise, this figure is to be example with the counterclockwise) along each air bag 110a, 110b, 110c from the zero degree position.
When barrier when time t0 collides air bag, this barrier 50 can be general barrier (fixing or on-fixed all can, fixedly the person for example be the corner, the on-fixed person is the rubbish etc. of ground for example) or moving obstacle (for example animal).When barrier 50 touched air bag 110a, the P-t that changes at each angular position 1, θ 2, θ 3 detected pressure schemed as shown in Figure 3.
The inventor is found to because collision angle θ x near air pressure detecting device S1, changes so pressure takes place in Fig. 3 at first, and pressure variation maximum is angle θ 1 detected curve (solid line).Then, the variation of pressure sees through through hole 112 and transmits toward other, and what the pressure variation took place for next is angle θ 2 detected curves (dotted line).What the pressure variation took place the most slowly is angle θ 3 detected curves (dotted line).
Each bar pressure curve should only have a peak value, and before the collision power discharges, all can value that descends at a slow speed of convergence.Convergence this decline rate of drop-out value is then relevant with employed air pressure detecting device at a slow speed, if the sensor of working pressure leakage type, then the speed that descends at a slow speed can be quicker slightly, if use sealing not leak the sensor of type, then the speed that descends at a slow speed can be slow slightly.
In step S120, change by this angular position 1 of collision front and back, θ 2, θ 3 measured pressure, can judge just whether air bag is collided.
If when judging air bag and being subjected to collide, just in step S130, borrow those angular position 1 on each air bag 110a, 110b, 110c, θ 2, θ 3 measured pressure change, and calculate collision strength.Be respectively P1, P2, P3 in angular position 1, θ 2, θ 3 measured pressure maximal values, P1 and P2 difference Δ P1, P2 and P3 difference Δ P2.
Go out to collide the method for strength size by the pressure change calculations, for example, can comprise the steps: in advance in a series of experiment, clash into those air bags with difference collision strength, different angles, write down pressure differential Δ P1, the Δ P2 of each air bag under the different collision strength, to set up the comparison list lattice.After having built form, just can utilize this contrast form to calculate collision strength corresponding to each time collision.
In step S140, suppose that the collision angle position is θ x, collision time point is t0, and, write down this time point t1, t2, t3 when angular position 1, θ 2, when θ 3 detected pressure arrive a predetermined pressure when beginning to climb a some Prise (when for example reaching pressure maximal value Pmax, when reaching a predetermined reference pressure value P ref, reach pressure).With reference to Fig. 3, because air pressure detecting device S1, S2, S3 always in each angular position 1, θ 2, θ 3 detected pressures, be known so force value reaches each time point t1, t2, the t3 of this predetermined pressure, but collision time point t0 are unknown.
In above-mentioned steps S150, the pressure wave speed when transmitting pressure between air bag is v, list following simultaneous equations, and obtain collision angle position θ x,
v(t1-t0)=min{R(θ1-θx),R[θx+(θe-θ1)]},
v(t2-t0)=min{R(θ2-θx),R[θx+(θe-θ2)]},
v(t3-t0)=min{R(θ3-θx),R[θx+(θe-θ3)]},
Wherein the min{} function is represented the minimum value of getting each numerical value in the bracket, and unknown number is v, t0 and θ x, and all the other are known number, so can try to achieve unique solution v, t0 and θ x.
The physical significance on the above-mentioned equation left side is meant that pressure wave goes to the distance of each pressure transducer from position of collision.The reason that the min{} function is got on equation the right is that after collision took place, pressure wave can be walked the shortest distance and arrive each pressure detector.
The inventor is found to from experiment repeatedly, and there is kind of a delicate relation mistiming of the pressure curve of each detection angles in the pressue-graph of Fig. 3.Being that following three kinds of mistimings are very approaching, almost is the same:
When each curve arrives the pressure maximal value, writing down each time point t1, t2, t3, the mistiming of any two air pressure detecting device gained: Δ t1=t2-t1 (air pressure detecting device S1, S2 reach the peaked mistiming of pressure), Δ t2=t3-t2 (air pressure detecting device S2, S3 reach the peaked mistiming of pressure), Δ t3=t3-t1 (air pressure detecting device S1, S3 reach the peaked mistiming of pressure).
When specifying a predetermined reference pressure value P ref, and when writing down time t1 ', t2 ' that each curve arrives this predetermined reference pressure value P ref, t3 ', the mistiming of any two air pressure detecting device gained: Δ t1 '=t2 '-t1 ', Δ t2 '=t3 '-t2 ', Δ t3 '=t3 '-t1 '.
When beginning to rise, write down this time t1 with each curve ", t2 ", t3 ", the mistiming of any two air pressure detecting device gained: Δ t1 "=t2 "-t1 ", Δ t2 "=t3 "-t2 ", Δ t3 "=t3 "-t1 ".
Mistiming Δ t1, Δ t1 ', Δ t1 that each mode of complying with obtains " approximate each other, Δ t2, Δ t2 ', Δ t2 " approximate each other, Δ t3, Δ t3 ', Δ t3 " approximate each other.Based on this characteristic, the inventor is also developed and is utilized look-up table to calculate collision angle position θ x.
Promptly in above-mentioned crash device, the full week that centers on body 100 with air bag is an example, do a series of experiment, spend along 360 with a fixing collision strength, each degree collides, and write down Δ t1, Δ t2, the Δ t3 of gained under each collision angle, and get the concordance list that wherein any two (Δ t1, Δ t2/ or Δ t2, Δ t3/ or Δ t1, Δ t3) make three, find collision angle position θ x by Δ t1, Δ t2/ or by Δ t2, Δ t3/ or by Δ t1, Δ t3.
In look-up table, the mistiming that can utilize any two air pressure detecting devices to reach Pmax, Pref, Prise is found collision angle position θ x.
In the present embodiment, air bag is to utilize the through hole with delay pressure transfer function to be connected each other, whereby, can elongate the mistiming of each curve among Fig. 3, like this, do not need the sample time of air pressure detecting device very shortly can obtain accurate sensing result yet.
In addition, utilize 3 air bags to surround the full week (360 degree) of body annularly in the present embodiment, cooperate 3 air pressure detecting devices to detect the pressure-time curve of each air bag again.Whereby, just can measure the collision angle in full week.
In addition, in the present embodiment 3 air pressure detecting devices be the position at an arbitrary position, not necessarily to uniformly-spaced dispose.
In the above-described embodiments, be to adopt 3 air bags and 3 air pressure detecting devices when detecting all full collision angles, the quantity of certain air bag and air pressure detecting device also can be more than 3.
