Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a robot neck anthropomorphic actuation device.
Background
With the continuous progress and development of scientific technology, more and more things are now becoming possible from impossible to gradual. The appearance of the robot brings convenience to a lot of problems in our lives, such as sweeping, washing dishes and the like, which can be completed by the robot, and scientists still develop more advanced technology at present. Nowadays, the society is gradually aged, and the bionic robot technology can make up for the shortage of young labor force in the future society, solve the problems of family service and medical treatment in the aged society and promote the development of industry.
At present, the research of humanoid robots is taken as one of the key directions in the robot field in all countries in the world. The humanoid neck is a part of the humanoid robot and is mainly responsible for dynamic tracking and real-time monitoring of the visual target. In order to accurately track a target, in kinematics, a sight line at the center of a robot visual field is used as a connecting rod with telescopic freedom degree to be added into a kinematics model of a head and neck structure. The target point position calculated by the binocular vision system becomes the target position of the link mechanism movement on the mathematical model. However, the structure has redundant freedom, so that some singular points are difficult to avoid during neck movement, although the neck movement can be smoother through improving the algorithm, the neck movement is equivalent to that a simple structure is put into a large project to reproduce an anthropomorphic neck actuation process.
The neck system of the humanoid robot needs to have two degrees of freedom of yaw and pitch in order to dynamically track the moving object. However, due to the requirements of structural similarity and flexibility of forward vision, the neck of the humanoid robot is generally designed by adopting redundant degrees of freedom. At the same time, some difficulties are faced:
(1) a link between the spatial position of the tracked object and the head movement needs to be established. The traditional visual tracking system mostly adopts a universal joint configuration with the axes of two joints of a similar pan-tilt intersected, the visual space of the traditional visual tracking system is a complete sphere, and the deflection angles of two moving joints can be calculated in a spherical projection mode. However, this method is not suitable for the motion control of the head and neck robot with redundant degrees of freedom in which the joint axes are not orthogonal.
(2) Because the robot has redundant degrees of freedom, theoretically, an infinite number of postures can be used for observing a fixed point, and how to enable the neck of the robot to move in a posture which is closest to the natural behavior of human beings in an 'elegant' manner is a problem to be solved.
(3) When the redundant degree of freedom mechanism moves, how to make each degree of freedom avoid the limit position of the switch section as much as possible in the movement through the mutual complementary coordination among the degrees of freedom. Generally, a soft limiting method is adopted in a general system for limiting, and only a control signal of a limit position is given under the condition that a joint angle calculated by a system algorithm is larger than the limit position, so that the method has the following consequences that unpredictable trajectory deviation is generated at the tail end, and visual tracking and control failure is caused.
(4) It is necessary to ensure that the motion singular points are avoided simultaneously in the algorithm so as to avoid the mechanism from generating sudden and large-amplitude abnormal motion. In order to realize the neck anthropomorphic action of the robot, the anthropomorphic action of the robot must be simplified in a breakthrough way from two aspects of structure and control without losing motion.
Chinese patent 201710826260.8 discloses a neck joint driving mechanism of a humanoid robot, which adopts the technical scheme that a hydraulic pitching driving device is adopted to drive a neck pitching mechanism so as to drive a head to perform pitching action, and a hydraulic rotation driving device is utilized to drive a neck rotation mechanism so as to drive the head to perform rotation action; secondly, the neck part turning action can only be generated after the neck part pitching mechanism is driven by the hydraulic pitching driving device and driven by the hydraulic neck part turning driving device, and the neck part turning action cannot be simply carried out; and thirdly, the neck rotating mechanism and the neck pitching mechanism are assembled by an upper gear, a lower gear, a rotating shaft, a copper sleeve and a swinging piece, and the neck rotating mechanism and the neck pitching mechanism are driven by the hydraulic driving device to move because of the limit of mutual clamping of mechanical parts, although the structure is compact, the number of parts is large, singular points are inevitably generated during the movement, and then distortion points of the movement are formed to influence the continuity of the neck movement, the movement is not coherent and real enough, and the simulation degree of the simulation robot is further reduced.

As shown in the attached figures 7 and 10, the surface of the deformation region 4-3 is compounded with a stress sensor film layer 6 formed by three layers of ion exchange polymer-metal coated electrodes with sandwich structures, and the stress sensor film layer is composed of a middle proton exchange polymer poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) 6-1, a platinum coated electrode 6-2 and a platinum coated electrode 6-3.
The middle ion exchange polymer 6-1 is prepared by adopting poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) and carrying out platinum-coated electrodes 6-2 and 6-3 at two sides through an ionic polymer chemical plating process, and the method comprises the following four steps: surface roughening, ion exchange, metal reduction and surface electric polarization of the ionic polymer.
Firstly, roughening and roughening the surface of an ionic polymer, washing, boiling in dilute hydrochloric acid or nitric acid to remove impurities, and boiling in distilled water until the distilled water is fully expanded;

thirdly, gradually adding NaBH in times4Reducing agent, gradually raising the temperature for 2h, and finishing the metal reduction process;
finally, through ion exchange in platinum salt solution, gold ions in the platinum salt solution gradually go deep into the ion exchangeAfter metal reduction is carried out on the surface of the polymer, platinum ions form zero-valent metal nanoparticles in the ion exchange polymer, and then a nano-particle platinum metal layer with the penetration depth of 1-15 mu m is formed on the surface of the poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) ion exchange polymer; the ion exchange polymer forming the nanometer particle platinum metal layer is put into the platinum salt solution again, and a reducing agent NH is adopted2Reduction with OH-HCl was carried out at 60 ℃ for 2.5 hours until the solution was mixed with an equal amount of NaBH4Boiling till no black. The preparation of the poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) -platinum coated electrode composite was completed.
The specific principle is that current is applied to the thermoelectric materials 3-52 and the thermoelectric materials 3-53 of the second composite region 3-3 of the composite bending actuator 3, wherein the thermoelectric materials 3-52 are positive electrodes, the thermoelectric materials 3-53 are negative electrodes, the current is transmitted from the thermoelectric materials 3-52 to the thermoelectric materials 3-53 to perform an exothermic reaction, and the current is transmitted from the thermoelectric materials 3-53 to the thermoelectric materials 3-54 by conduction, then from the thermoelectric materials 3-54 to the thermoelectric materials 3-51 to perform an endothermic reaction, and finally returns to the thermoelectric materials 3-52; by the current conduction, the temperature of the thermoelectric material 3-52 and the thermoelectric material 3-53 in the second composite region 3-3 rises and is further transferred to the shape memory alloy of the driver body 3-4 covered by the deformation region 3-2, and the shape memory alloy in the region carries out reverse phase transformation process, so that martensite is transformed into high-elasticity austenite for further deformation; when the applied current is removed, the temperature of the thermoelectric material 3-52 and the thermoelectric material 3-53 in the second composite region 3-3 gradually decreases, and at this time, the thermoelectric material 3-52 and the thermoelectric material 3-53 help the shape memory alloy in the deformation region 3-2 to decrease the temperature, so that the shape memory alloy in the deformation region undergoes a phase transformation process from austenite to martensite, and returns to the shape and position before deformation due to the memory property of the shape memory alloy.
As shown in figure 11, when current is applied to the thermoelectric materials 3-52 and 3-53, the electric field strength changes, the electric field changes generated by the thermoelectric materials 3-52 and 3-53 can cause the polarity of the platinum-coated electrode 6-2 and the platinum-coated electrode 6-3 to change, when the electric field is enhanced, the platinum-coated electrode 6-2 is a positive electrode, the platinum-coated electrode 8-3 is a negative electrode, and further under the action of coulomb force, the polar solution absorbed by the ion exchange polymer 6-1 or ions in water are caused to migrate or diffuse in the network chain formed by the ion exchange polymer 6-1, and because the poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) has the proton exchange property, protons are concentrated on the platinum-coated electrode 6-3 side, so that the ion exchange polymer 6-1 close to the platinum-coated electrode 6-3 side expands, the ionic polymer 6-1 close to the platinum coating electrode 6-2 shrinks to generate bending deformation towards the platinum coating electrode 6-2 side; when the electric field is weakened, the ion exchange is reduced, and the ion exchange polymer 6-1 near the platinum-coated electrode 6-2 and the platinum-coated electrode 6-3 side is deformed and recovered, and further, the shape before the deformation is recovered.
