The following is a detailed description.
In order to better understand the working principle of the control system of the present embodiment, the underwater robot of the present embodiment will be described first. Referring to fig. 2, the underwater robot includes a working device 100, a power device 200, a motion control system 300, and a platform 400 for carrying the above components.

The platform 400 is illustrated as an equilateral triangle.
The working device 100 is a generic name of equipment or components required for the underwater robot to perform underwater operations. The following examples are given.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the working device 100 includes a robotic arm assembly, a camera device, and/or a sampling device. Wherein the robot assembly comprises a gripper apparatus 110 and a robot body 120, one side of the robot body 120 is connected to the bottom of the platform 400 for controlling the gripper apparatus 110 to grip an object located under the underwater robot, the other side of the robot body is connected to the gripper apparatus 110, and the gripper apparatus 110 comprises a finger base 111, at least two gripper fingers 112 and at least two soft drive units 113. The finger base 111 has a connecting portion for connecting with the robot arm main body 120 and a bearing portion. One end of the gripper finger 112 is hinged to the bearing portion of the finger base 111. Each gripper finger 112 is connected to at least one soft drive unit 113, and the soft drive unit 113 is used for communicating with a fluid source, and can be extended and folded under the action of fluid pressure so as to drive the gripper fingers 112 to rotate around the hinged joints of the gripper fingers and the base 111 of the finger root, thereby clamping or releasing the object.

The clamping jaw device 110 is driven by a soft driving unit 113, which is beneficial to improving the adaptability of the underwater robot to complex environments and the working stability of the underwater robot.
The power plant 200 is used to power the movement of the underwater robot, and the power plant 200 includes three first propellers 210, three second propellers 220, and a rotary propeller 230. In other embodiments, the power plant 200 may also include more than three first propellers 210 and more than three second propellers 220. In one embodiment, the first propeller 210 and the second propeller 220 comprise at least one of a propeller and a shaftless pump jet propeller. In other embodiments, the first propeller 210 and the second propeller 220 may be any suitable type of propeller as long as the purpose of propulsion can be achieved.
As shown in fig. 4, the first thruster 210 is responsible for achieving translational movement of the underwater robot in the propulsion plane.
The above-mentioned thrust plane is a virtual plane, and in this embodiment corresponds to a plane parallel to the paper surface in fig. 4, or may be understood as a plane maintained parallel to the platform 400, and it is easily understood that when the platform 400 is turned, the thrust plane is also turned to be maintained parallel to the platform 400.
A Cartesian space rectangular coordinate system is preset in the propulsion plane, the X axis and the Y axis of the Cartesian space rectangular coordinate system are always located in the propulsion plane, and the Z axis is perpendicular to the propulsion plane. In this embodiment, the origin of the predetermined coordinate system is on the central axis of the platform 400, such that the Z-axis coincides with the central axis of the platform 400. In other embodiments, the origin of the preset coordinates may be at other locations.
The underwater robot has four translation directions in a propulsion plane, namely positive and negative directions of an X axis and positive and negative directions of a Y axis. The three first thrusters 210 are respectively mounted on three sides of the platform 400 and have a thrusting direction perpendicular to the three sides and all parallel to the thrusting plane, or just in the thrusting plane, the angle between the thrusting direction of each first thruster 210 and the adjacent coordinate axis is respectively 30 ° and 60 °, and the three thrusting directions are 120 ° with respect to each other. The three first thrusters 210 can propel the underwater robot to translate by changing the magnitude of the respective thrusting forces so that the resultant force of the thrusting forces is in any one of the four translation directions.
The second thruster 220 is responsible for lifting and turning the underwater robot.
The lifting of the underwater robot means that the underwater robot can be raised or lowered in a direction perpendicular to the propulsion plane. The second thruster 220 has a propulsion direction perpendicular to the propulsion plane, i.e. positive or negative along the Z-axis, so as to propel the underwater robot up or down. As shown in fig. 5, the three second thrusters 220 of the present embodiment are respectively installed at three corners of the platform 400, so that the platform 400 ascends or descends more smoothly, and when more than three second thrusters 220 are used, the more than three second thrusters may be arranged around the central axis of the platform 400 in view of stability. In other embodiments, only one or two propellers may be installed on the platform 400, if only the underwater robot is to be lifted.
The turning of the underwater robot means that the underwater robot can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the X-axis or the Y-axis of the preset coordinate system. As shown in fig. 6, of the three second propellers 220, one second propeller 220 is in the region of the positive half axis of the Y-axis, and the other two second propellers 220 are in the region of the negative half axis of the Y-axis, in other words, one second propeller 220 is in the region of the positive half axis of the X-axis, the other second propeller 220 is in the region of the negative half axis of the X-axis, and the other second propeller 220 is on the Y-axis. When the propulsion directions of the second propellers 220 in the positive half shaft area and the negative half shaft area are opposite in the same coordinate axis, the underwater robot can turn around the coordinate axis.
As shown in fig. 7, the rotary propeller 230 is responsible for realizing the rotation of the underwater robot around the central axis thereof.
The rotary propeller 230 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, for example, the rotary propeller 230 is a rotary impeller. The rotation center line of the rotary pusher 230 coincides with the center axis of the platform 400. When the rotary propeller 230 rotates, a driving force can be provided for the rotation of the platform 400 about its central axis.
In other embodiments, if the underwater robot only needs to complete a certain mode of movement, only the propeller corresponding to the underwater robot can be installed.
Referring to fig. 1, the control system 310 is configured to receive an instruction input by a user, so as to obtain at least one of a translation direction and a translation speed, a lifting direction and a lifting speed, a turning direction and a turning direction, a rotation direction and a rotation speed of the underwater robot in a propulsion plane, where the underwater robot is input by the user, and after obtaining the information, the information may be sent to the processing system 320 for processing by the processing system 320.
In some embodiments, the SOC (System on Chip) of the control System 310 employs an ARM Cortex a53 Quad-core, and the control System further includes a 3DX manipulator and an image analysis System, where the 3DX manipulator is a six-axis manipulator capable of analyzing the operation of the user into motion information in six degrees of freedom and transmitting the motion information to the SOC, and the motions in the six degrees of freedom are respectively a movement along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis of a preset coordinate System and a rotation around the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis. The SOC packages the motion information and then transmits the motion information to the processing system 320 via the ethernet, and the SOC may further display the image, the visual 3DX control data, the attitude, depth, battery level, and other information on the screen of the 3DX controller for the user to obtain the information.
In other embodiments, the SOC of the operating system 310 may also be implemented by other chips that can meet the requirement, and similarly, the controller may also be implemented by various types of handles or joysticks, etc. besides the 3DX controller, and the communication between the operating system and the processing system 320 may also be implemented by other types of high-speed low-latency cable communication, besides ethernet transmission.
The processing system 320 is configured to analyze the received motion information to obtain the power required to implement the corresponding motion, and the processing system 320 may process data by using ARM Cortex-M7 as a core. The following is a detailed description.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the motion information input by the user through the manipulation system 310 is moving along the Y-axis at the speed of V1, and the processing system 320 can calculate the thrust force F1 in the Y-axis required by the current environment according to the motion information, where F1 is a vector in the preset coordinate system, and the vector can be represented as (X, Y) in the preset coordinate system. Since the angles between the three first propellers 210 and the Y axis and the X axis are known, the vector (X, Y) can be converted into three vectors at 120 ° to each other, which are respectively denoted as vectors a, b, and c, and the corresponding coordinates are respectively (a1, b1, c1), (a2, b2, c2), (a3, b3, c 3). The three vectors a, b and c are equal to the vector F1 in magnitude and direction, and the three vectors a, b and c are the propulsion forces required to be generated by the three first propellers 210.
The translation of the underwater robot in other directions in the propulsion plane is similar to the above process, and is not described herein.
In some embodiments, the motion information input by the user through the manipulation system 310 is a positive movement along the Z-axis at the velocity of V2, i.e., the underwater robot ascends. The processing system 320 may calculate the lifting force F2 on the Z axis required by the current environment according to the motion information, and may calculate the lifting propulsion force required by the three second thrusters 220 according to F2, for example, each lifting propulsion force is one third of the lifting force F2.
The descending process of the underwater robot is similar to the ascending process, and is not described in detail herein.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the motion information entered by the user via the manipulation system 310 is rotated clockwise (as viewed from the negative half of the Y-axis toward the positive half of the Y-axis) about the Y-axis at an angular velocity of W1. Based on the axis of rotation being the Y-axis, the processing system 320 may derive the direction of propulsion for the second propeller 220 in the region of the positive X-axis and the second propeller 220 in the region of the negative X-axis. The processing system 320 may calculate the magnitude of the turning force F3 required by the current environment according to the motion information, and assign the turning propulsion force of the second propellers 220 on both sides of the Y-axis according to F3.
The process of the underwater robot rotating around other coordinate axes is similar to the above process, and is not described herein.
In some embodiments, the motion information entered by the user through the manipulation system 310 is rotated clockwise (as viewed from the negative half of the Z axis toward the positive half of the Y axis) about the Z axis at an angular velocity of W2. The processing system 320 may calculate the rotation speed required to rotate the propeller 230 in the current environment according to the motion information.
After the processing system 320 solves the power required for realizing the corresponding motion, the processing system 320 sends a control command to the driving system 330, and the driving system 330 drives each propeller to work with the solved propulsion force or speed, thereby realizing the motion of the underwater robot. The driving system 330 may include components such as a dc brushless motor, a dc brushless motor controller, a hydraulic pump, a relay, a hydraulic valve, and a photo-coupled solenoid valve controller, which cooperate to achieve the desired functions of the driving system 330.
The underwater robot also comprises other necessary devices or equipment, for example the underwater robot also comprises a built-in power supply, sensors for sensing the surroundings (e.g. IMU, depth or pressure sensors, to determine the propulsion required at a certain speed of the current environment).
Example two:
on the basis of the motion control system 300 of the underwater robot disclosed in the first embodiment, the present embodiment discloses a motion control method of the underwater robot. The control method is mainly applied to the underwater robot shown in fig. 2.

and step 1000, acquiring the translation direction and the translation speed of the underwater robot in a propulsion plane, wherein the translation direction and the translation speed are input by a user. The translation direction is positive or negative of any coordinate axis of a preset coordinate system. I.e., positive and negative X-axis and positive and negative Y-axis.
And 1100, calculating thrust required by the underwater robot in the translation direction according to the translation speed. The underwater robot receives different pressures at different underwater depths, so the thrust required by the same speed is different, the current depth can be acquired according to the depth sensor on the underwater robot, and then the required thrust is acquired, for example, a user wants to make the underwater robot move forward along the Y axis at the speed of V1, the thrust F1 on the Y axis required by the current environment can be calculated according to the motion information, the F1 is a vector in the preset coordinate system, and the vector can be expressed as (X, Y) in the preset coordinate system.
Step 1200, performing vector conversion on the thrust according to included angles between the propelling directions of the three first propellers 210 and a preset coordinate system to obtain the propelling forces corresponding to the three first propellers 210.
In this embodiment, the angle between the propulsion directions of the adjacent first propellers 210 is 120 °, and the angles between the respective Y-axis and X-axis of the three first propellers 210 are known, so that the vectors (X, Y) can be converted into three vectors each at 120 °, which are respectively denoted as vectors a, b, and c, and the corresponding coordinates are (a1, b1, c1), (a2, b2, c2), (a3, b3, c 3). The three vectors a, b and c are equal to the vector F1 in magnitude and direction, and the three vectors a, b and c are the propulsion forces required to be generated by the three first propellers 210.
And 1300, controlling the three first propellers 210 to propel the underwater robot with corresponding propulsion.
As shown in fig. 9, when the user controls the underwater robot to ascend and descend, the motion control method includes:
and 2000, acquiring the lifting direction and the lifting speed of the underwater robot, which are input by a user and are vertical to the propulsion plane.

And 2200, calculating the lifting force required by the underwater robot according to the lifting speed.
And 2300, decomposing the lifting force to obtain the lifting propelling force corresponding to the second propeller.
For example, the lifting force F2 on the Z axis required by the current environment is calculated, and the lifting propulsion force required by the three second thrusters 220 is one third of the lifting force F2.
And 2400, controlling the three second thrusters 220 to propel the underwater robot with the corresponding lifting propelling force.
As shown in fig. 10, when the user controls the underwater robot to turn, the motion control method includes:
step 3000, acquiring the turning direction and turning speed of the underwater robot input by a user. The turning direction is clockwise or anticlockwise rotation around any coordinate axis of a preset coordinate system.
For example, the user wants to control the underwater robot to rotate clockwise (as viewed from the negative half axis of the Y-axis toward the positive half axis of the Y-axis) about the Y-axis at an angular velocity of W1 by operation.
And 3100, determining a coordinate axis serving as a rotating axis in a preset coordinate system according to the overturning direction.
For example, the Y axis is set as the rotation axis by the user operation.
Step 3200, calculating the turning propelling forces corresponding to the second propellers 220 distributed on both sides of the rotation axis according to the turning speed.
In this embodiment, the rotation axis is the Y axis, and there is one second thruster 220 on each side of the Y axis, and if the turning force required to reach the turning speed W1 under the current circumstances is F3, the turning thrust of the second thrusters 220 on each side of the Y axis is distributed (vector resolved) according to F3.
And 3300, controlling the second propellers 220 distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft to propel the underwater robot with corresponding overturning propulsive force.
As shown in fig. 11, when the user controls the rotation of the underwater robot, the method includes:
and step 4000, acquiring the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the underwater robot input by a user. The rotation direction is clockwise or counterclockwise around the central axis of the platform 400, i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise around the Z-axis of the preset coordinate system in this embodiment. For example, the user wants to control the underwater robot to rotate clockwise (as viewed from the negative half of the Z axis toward the positive half of the Y axis) about the Z axis at an angular velocity of W2 by operation.
Step 4100, calculating a rotation speed corresponding to the rotary propeller 230 according to the rotation speed.
When the rotary thruster 230 is fixedly connected to the platform 400, the rotation speed of the rotary thruster 230 may be similar to the rotation speed of the underwater robot around the Z-axis.
And step 4200, controlling the rotary propeller 230 to rotate in the rotation direction at the corresponding rotation speed to drive the underwater robot to rotate.
It should be noted that the above motions may be combined, for example, a user may control the underwater robot to translate and turn, or translate and rotate, so as to perform more complex motions.
