Location and the barrier-avoiding method of the VFH algorithm based on improving of the present invention are on the basis of the above-mentioned scan matching location algorithm based on airborne laser range finder, propose a kind of improvement vector field histogramming algorithm based on SLAM, hinder and path planning problem with solving mobile robot's keeping away in intensive complex environment.VFH algorithm, is that the working environment of robot is decomposed into a series of grid cell with two value informations, has an accumulating value in each rectangular grid, and represent the confidence level that there is barrier herein, high aggregate-value represents to there is the with a high credibility of barrier.The environment this is because sensor is constantly sampled fast, the result that the grid that there is barrier is constantly detected.The selection of grid size directly affects the performance of control algolithm.Grid selects little, and environment resolution ratio is just high, but anti-interference is just more weak, and environmental information memory space is large, makes speed of decision slow; It is large that grid selects, and anti-interference is just stronger, but environment resolution ratio declines, and finds the reduced capability in path in intensive obstacle environment.In addition, choosing of grid size is also relevant with the performance of sensor, if the precision of sensor is high and reaction speed fast, grid is eligible less.Representing ambient is carried out with the grid of two dimension in VFH algorithm.The working space of robot is divided into some continuous print two-dimensional grid series.A probable value (CV value) is comprised in each grid.This probable value embodies the confidence level that there is barrier in this grid, and CV (Certainty Value) value is higher, and represent that the possibility that there is barrier is herein larger, thus, sensor has uncertainty.
The present invention adopts the scan matching algorithm based on laser ranging data to complete the simultaneous localization and mapping problem of robot any time, and adopts DUAL PROBLEMS OF VECTOR MAPPING method effectively to reduce the amount of calculation setting up environment grating map; According to the relation in robot and environmental map between barrier, consider the sensing uncertainty of mobile robot and the actual size of robot, barrier is expanded, set up obstacle point set, obstacle boundaries collection is defined by the fusion of adjacent barrier, and set up initial distance vector polar coordinates histogram with this, gain freedom walking district and Bi Zhang district; The threshold function table become during by defining one obtains binary polar coordinates histogram; By estimating the movement locus of mobile robot, setting up one and blocking polar coordinates histogram, the kinematics of robot and kinetic effect are blocked; Select best direction of motion angle according to blocking polar coordinates histogram and cost function, avoiding obstacles, drives towards impact point, so that its independent navigation under doors structure environment.
As shown in Figure 3, robot of the present invention at any time to external world the sensing range of environment be all limited, and depend on the effective range of sensor used.Define a certain moment robot can the maximum magnitude of perception be active window, it is actually with machine people for the center of circle, airborne laser range finder survey the border circular areas that scope is radius.Adopt DUAL PROBLEMS OF VECTOR MAPPING method to set up environment grating map this vector magnitude concrete to be determined by following formula:
m i,j=(c i,j *) 2(a-bd i,j)
And the relative position of grid and robot central point (VCP) is depended in its direction:
β i , j = tan - 1 y j - y 0 x i - x 0
Wherein: a, b are normal numbers;
C i,j *the CV value of grid (i, j) in active window
D i,jthis grid is to the distance value of robot central point (VCP)
X 0; y 0the absolute location coordinates of robot central point (VCP) this moment.
X i; y jthe absolute location coordinates of this grid
(2) active window subregion
If select angular resolution α, then the interval obtained after subregion sum n=360/ α.For any interval k, (k=0,1,2 ..., n-1), there is k=int (β i,j/ α).Its obstacle density h kcan be drawn by following formula: α=5 in this research.
Due to the discreteness of CV value, the too rare loose of obstacle density may be caused.Therefore will to its smoothing process:
h ' k = h k - l + 1 + 2 h k - l + 2 + · · · + lh k + ( l - 1 ) h k + 1 + · · · 2 h k + l 1 + h k + l 2 l - 1
(3) direction of motion θ is determined
Given a certain threshold tau, obstacle density, lower than the region of this value, is called " candidate regions ".When there being continuous S maxwhen individual candidate regions exists, them are claimed to be " broad valley "; Otherwise be referred to as " arrow path ".A district leftmost in these continuous candidate regions is designated as k l, a rightmost district is designated as k r, then the direction of motion can be drawn by lower formula: θ = 1 2 ( k 1 + k r )
Take into full account the impact of size dimension on arithmetic result of robot.Grid is being amplified r r, r rdepend on the size of robot.In order to strengthen the security that robot runs further, also robot and obstacle can be kept the beeline d do not collided stake into account.So in fact it be exaggerated r for grid to be studied arbitrarily r+s, r r+s=r r+ d s.
In order to the motion of dynamic analysis robot, camber line when straight line when becoming the direction of motion constant its decomposing trajectories and direction change.This camber line depends on the radius of gyration of robot, and closely related with the speed of robot, speed is faster, and its radius of turn is larger.As shown in Figure 4, suppose that robot is r to turning radius during anticlockwise left, turning radius during right-hand rotation is r right.A, B are two obstacle grids.A, B are expanded as stated above, assuming that A has overlapping the intersection with the left steering circle of robot, all regions that so A and left steering circle cover are considered to Bi Zhang district (blocked); B with turn to circle without crossover phenomenon so only have the region himself covered to be Bi Zhang district.In the condition shown in figure 4, robot will turn right.
By two extreme angles can be obtained to comparing of above-mentioned condition, be distributed in the robot left and right sides.Be designated as respectively and define simultaneously represent the reverse of robot current kinetic direction.Initial time makes for grid C any in active window i,jif, the β when its CV value meets CV < τ i,jbe positioned at time on the right side of left side, θ, order if β i,jto be positioned on the left of θ, during right side, order like this, according to and the block diagram of another form can be obtained (masked polar histogram).This bar chart understands the feasible direction of robot under present speed.If and represent that this region is feasible; In other situations, represent infeasible in this region.
Under normal circumstances, we can obtain some meeting combination.For each combination, remember that its right boundary is respectively: k land k r.If k land k rbetween contain S maxwith last interval (S maxfor constant, in this experiment, get 10), then claim this region for " wide area "; Otherwise be referred to as " narrow ".Narrow only provides a candidate direction after being converted into angle be and wide area can provide three candidate direction: c r, c land c t.
c r = k r + S max 2 , Conversion is angled
c l = k 1 - S max 2 , Conversion is angled
In addition, as target direction k tmeet k t∈ [c r, c l] time have c t=k t, conversion is angled for selecting most suitable direction of motion c, set up following cost function:
g ( c ) = &mu; 1 &CenterDot; &Delta; ( c , k t ) + &mu; 2 &CenterDot; &Delta; ( c , &theta; i &alpha; ) + &mu; 3 &CenterDot; &Delta; ( c , k n , i - 1 ) , Wherein:
Δ (c 1, c 2)=min{c 1-c 2||, c 1-c 2-n||, c 1-c 2+ n|}, is used to calculating two interval c 1and c 2the function of absolute angle difference.Such as Δ (c, k t) what represent is declinate between candidate direction and target direction, its value is larger, departs from target far away during robot motion, and the cost arriving destination is also higher. what represent is differential seat angle between candidate direction and robot direct of travel, and this value is larger, and robot turns to change larger.Δ (c, k n, i-1) what represent is that angle between current candidate direction and previous selected direction change, be worth larger, wheel steering changes greatly, and moving, it is larger to shake.
So balance coefficient μ 1, μ 2and μ 3selection most important, they directly determine the superiority of algorithm.Generally should meet: μ 1> μ 2+ μ 3.In the present embodiment, μ 1=5, μ 23=2.
The present invention obtains the environmental information around robot operating path by the airborne laser range finder be arranged on before home-services robot, user's parallactic angle matched rule eliminates the search problem of corresponding points, make to calculate translation complexity and reduce to O (n), and under the help of the embedded odometer data of service robot, the current pose of robot is estimated, carry out global coherency ground map generalization simultaneously, complete the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of home-services robot.After home-services robot solves its SLAM problem, further the working environment of robot is decomposed into a series of grid cell, consider the uncertainty of sensor measurement and the size of robot, the each barrier grid point detected is expanded, then according to the relation in machine human and environment between barrier, set up initial polar coordinates histogram, gaining freedom, it is interval to walk district and keep away barrier, binary polar coordinates histogram is obtained by defining two threshold values, consider the kinematic and dynamic constraints of robot, binary polar coordinates histogram basis is set up and blocks polar coordinates histogram, last basis blocks polar coordinates histogram and cost function selects best direction of motion angle, avoiding obstacles, drive towards impact point, so that it is independent navigation under doors structure environment.
