The camera support 6 is connected with the tail end of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2, and the RGB-D camera 4 is fixedly installed on the camera support 6. The six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 of the live pig vaccine injection robot shown in fig. 1 is in a folded state.
For the needleless injector 3, the vaccine liquid medicine is ejected as long as the injector head 3-2 contacts the pig's buttocks (a certain pressure is applied while contacting), which is a function of the needleless injector itself.
The wheel type mobile platform 1 is driven by four wheels independently, each wheel can also turn to independently, the wheels are driven by corresponding motors, the wheel type mobile platform can ensure that the vaccine robot can move rapidly in the corridor between the houses in the pig farm, and the functions of driving the direction of the wheels and the like can be adjusted randomly according to the relative positions between the current houses and the target houses. The body of the wheel type mobile platform 1 is internally provided with a mobile platform main controller 1-1 and a motor driver 1-2, and the motor driver 1-2 is connected with the mobile platform main controller 1-1.
The six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 has an anti-collision detection function, and can prevent accidental injury to pigs caused by too high movement speed of the mechanical arm in the vaccine injection process.
As shown in fig. 7, the control system includes a host computer 15, an RFID electronic tag 14, an RFID tag identifier 13, a robot arm controller 16, a gateway 17, and a cloud platform 19. The robot arm controller 16 is installed in the body of the wheeled mobile platform 1. The RFID tag identifier 13 communicates with the cloud platform 19 through the gateway 17, and the upper computer 15 communicates with the cloud platform 19 through the gateway 17. The mechanical arm controller 16 is connected with the upper computer 15. The six-dimensional force sensor 5 is connected with the upper computer 15, the RGB-D camera 4 is connected with the upper computer 15, and the mobile platform main controller 1-1 on the wheel type mobile platform 1 is connected with the upper computer 15. The upper computer 15 is placed on the wheeled mobile platform 1.
As shown in fig. 8, the pig farm 8 is constructed by constructing a plurality of housing 9, as shown in fig. 9, each housing 9 is provided with 2 columns surrounded by pig pens, 4 in each column, 8 raising areas 9-1 with equal areas, and pedestrian aisles 9-2 between the two columns. In each feeding area 9-1 there is a feeding trough 10 and a drinking trough 11. The feeding trough 10 is isolated from the drinking trough by a limit stop 12. As shown in fig. 10, an RFID tag 13 is mounted at the drinking trough 11, and an RFID electronic tag 14 is fixed to the ear of each pig 20. The RFID electronic tag 14 has ID information of a unique number, and location information, where the location information indicates which colony house belongs to, that is, the number of the colony house (when the tag is marked, the number of the colony house where the tag is located is recorded in the cloud platform).
Referring to fig. 11, a method of injecting vaccine into pigs using the live pig vaccine injection robot described above will be described.
In step S101, the RFID tag identifier 13 at the water trough 11 of each feeding area 9-1 in the housing 9 uploads the ID information and the position information collected from the RFID electronic tag 14 to the cloud platform 19 through the WIFI network in real time. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the ID information and the position information in the RFID tag 14 on the ear of the pig 20 can be read by the RFID tag 13 only when the pig 20 drinks water to the drinking tank 11.
In step S102, the live pig vaccine injection robot is moved to a waiting position near any one of the housing 9 by the remote controller, and as shown in fig. 8, the live pig vaccine injection robot 7 is moved near the housing No. 3. The six-degree-of-freedom cooperative robot arm 2 at this time is in the initial position as shown in fig. 1.
In step S103, the upper computer 15 accesses the cloud platform 19 through the WIFI network, and queries the ID information and the location information in the cloud platform 19.
Step S104, inquiring whether the pigs drink water or not, wherein the inquired ID information and the position information indicate that the pigs drink water. If no pig is drinking water (ID information and location information are not found), the process returns to step S103 to keep access to the cloud platform 19 at a certain frequency. If it is found that the pig drinks only in a certain feeding area 9-1 (i.e., if it is found that the ID information and the position information are found), the process proceeds to step S105.
In step S105, the upper computer 15 obtains the ID information and the position information of the pig to be injected and the vaccine information to be injected from the cloud platform 19, and the position information at this time represents the number of the target housing. The information of the vaccine to be injected is stored in the cloud platform in advance.
In step S106, the upper computer 15 sends motion control instructions (movement speed, movement time, steering angle, etc.) to the mobile platform main controller 1-1 of the wheeled mobile platform 1.
In step S107, the platform main controller 1-1 generates a PWM signal for controlling the motor according to the motion control command, and sends the PWM signal to the motor driver 1-2 of the wheeled mobile platform 1, where the motor driver 1-2 drives the motor for driving the wheels in the wheeled mobile platform to work, so that the wheeled mobile platform moves into the target housing, as shown in fig. 12, and the wheeled mobile platform moves near the pig 20, that is, the wheeled mobile platform moves beside the pig that is drinking water. Because the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 is in a furled state, the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 cannot collide with the pig fence in the moving process of the robot.
Step S108, the upper computer accesses the cloud platform 19 to check whether pigs still drink water, and if not, the upper computer continues to access the cloud platform to inquire about the situation of drinking water pigs; if pigs are still drinking water (the cloud platform 19 has ID information and location information), then S109 is entered.
Step S109, the upper computer sends a control instruction to the mechanical arm controller 16, and the mechanical arm controller controls the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 to move from an initial pose (a furled state) to a pig sideways photographing pose (under the pose, the whole pig sideways can be presented in the view of the RGB-D camera 4);
step S110, the upper computer controls the RGB-D camera to photograph the sides of the pigs so as to obtain color images and depth images of the pigs, and sends the image information to the upper computer.
In step S111, the upper computer identifies the roll of the pig through a convolutional neural network algorithm according to the image information, calculates a hip photographing pose (under which the camera can see the complete pig hip) according to the spatial position information of the hip in the identified roll, and further solves the target rotation angles of the 6 joints of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 through the inverse kinematics of the mechanical arm, and then sends the target rotation angle data to the mechanical arm controller 16.
In step S112, the upper computer sends a control command to the mechanical arm controller 16, and the mechanical arm controller 16 controls the 6 joints of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 to rotate to a target rotation angle, that is, the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 moves to the pig buttocks photographing pose.
In step S113, the upper computer controls the RGB-D camera to photograph the buttocks of the pig, so as to obtain color images and depth images of the buttocks of the pig, and sends the image information to the upper computer.
In step S114, the upper computer identifies the injectable area of the pig buttocks through a convolutional neural network algorithm according to the image information of the pig buttocks, selects the central position coordinate of the injectable area as the injection part, the normal vector of the central position as the gesture of the handle of the needleless injector, calculates the injection gesture of the mechanical arm according to the central position coordinate and the normal vector, and then solves the target rotation angles of 6 joints of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 through the inverse kinematics of the mechanical arm, and then sends the target rotation angle data to the mechanical arm controller 16.
In step S115, the robot controller controls the 6 joints of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative robot 2 to rotate to the target rotation angle, that is, the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative robot 2 moves to the injection pose, as shown in fig. 12.
Step S116, the six-dimensional force sensor 5 detects the contact force between the handle of the needleless injector 3 and the buttocks of pigs, judges whether the contact force detected by the six-dimensional force sensor 5 is larger than a set threshold value, if so, the step S117 is entered, and if not, the step S115 is returned.
In step S117, the mechanical arm controller controls the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 to continue to move forward for a certain time, so as to compensate the pose error caused by the stress reaction of the pig only after the pig is contacted by the injection handle.
In step S118, the mechanical arm controller controls the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 to rapidly move back to the pig buttock photographing pose, then rapidly return to the pig lateral photographing pose, and finally move back to the initial pose, so as to complete the injection action.
And step S119, after the mechanical arm reaches the initial pose, the upper computer feeds back the ID information and vaccine information of the injected pigs to the cloud platform through the gateway.
If the vaccine injection is continued, the upper computer continues to access the cloud platform to acquire the ID of the pig to be injected (the drinking pig), the position of the pig to be injected and the vaccine information to be injected, if the drinking pig is already injected with the vaccine, the information of the pig is automatically excluded, and if the pig is not injected with the vaccine, the process is repeated, and the vaccine injection of the pig is completed until the vaccine injection work of all pigs is completed.
It should be noted that, the arrangement of the six-dimensional force sensor is a preferable scheme, and the robot may also be provided with no six-dimensional force sensor, and the handle 3-1 of the needleless injector 3 may be directly fixedly mounted on the end flange of the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2. Under the structure, the injection process does not need step S116 and step S117, the mechanical arm controller controls the six-degree-of-freedom cooperative mechanical arm 2 to move to the injection position, and the injection head 3-2 of the needle-free injector 3 is contacted with the buttocks of pigs so as to spray vaccine liquid medicine.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
