As shown in fig. 10, the obstacle avoidance device 1a of the mobile robot further includes: a sending module 16a, configured to send the motion policy information of the mobile robot to an upper application system of the mobile robot.
Specific examples of the mobile robot and the obstacle avoidance device thereof provided in the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to fig. 11 to 15.
As shown in fig. 11, the mobile robot 1A includes 8 ultrasonic sensors 102A, a core control board 101A, and a two-wheel differential motor 30A, where the ultrasonic sensors 102A and the core control board 101A constitute an obstacle avoidance device 10A of the mobile robot.
The ultrasonic sensor 102A is used to acquire the relative distance, moving speed, and direction of an obstacle around the mobile robot 1A as data of the obstacle. The core control board 101A is used for fusing data acquired by the 8 ultrasonic sensors, and setting a motion planning strategy of the double-wheel differential motor according to the fused data. The two-wheel differential motor 30A provides a power output source. The core control board 101A controls the operation of the two-wheel differential motor 30A based on the set motion planning strategy, so that the mobile robot body performs moving operations such as forward, backward, stop, steering and the like.
In this embodiment, the ultrasonic sensor, dual drive differential motor and core control board are combined deeply. After the core control board 101A acquires the ultrasonic sensing data, preprocessing such as filtering, compensation, and stacking is performed, so that the ultrasonic sensing data is converted into formatted data required by a fusion algorithm. In addition, the core control board 101A also performs time synchronization of data among the plurality of sensor data, and screens and fuses sensor data that meets the data fusion conditions according to time, position, direction, and the like. And generating the motion planning strategy in real time according to the fused data by a fuzzy obstacle avoidance algorithm.
Because an efficient and stable command control system is arranged between the core control board 101A and the dual-drive differential motor 30A, in the process of obstacle avoidance, the response speed, the execution precision and the feedback delay are greatly higher than those of obstacle avoidance control through an upper application layer. In addition, for the upper application layer, the core control board 101A also provides broadcasting of real-time status in order to develop more rich application functions.
In the process of fusing the data acquired by the 8 ultrasonic sensors 102A, the fuzzy neural network is used for fusing the barrier data sensed by the 8 ultrasonic sensors, so that the precise position of the barrier is more accurately positioned, and a better barrier avoiding effect is obtained.
As shown in fig. 12, the fuzzy neural network includes an input layer (first layer), a membership level layer (second layer), a T-norm layer (third layer), a normalization layer (fourth layer), and an output layer (fifth layer). Obstacle data collected by 8 ultrasonic sensors are input into the fuzzy neural network from an input layer and then are converted into a fuzzy set on a corresponding domain (an overlapping part of detection regions of the ultrasonic sensors), for example, the input data x1 to xr of the ultrasonic sensors are respectively divided into a plurality of fuzzy partitions to generate membership function values, the output of each fuzzy rule is calculated, the output of each N node is further obtained, finally, weighted summation is carried out, the conversion from fuzzy output to accurate output is realized, and the accurate position of an obstacle is output.
And dynamically modeling the ultrasonic sensor according to the obstacle positioning information such as the outline position, the moving speed and the moving direction of the obstacle obtained by the obstacle data fusion. In this specific example, a dynamic modeling algorithm based on 8 ultrasonic sensors is employed. Fig. 13 is a view of the range covered by each ultrasonic sensor, in which the opening angle of each sector is α. The distance relationship measured by the ultrasonic sensor is divided into three types: a) r isA<rBOr rB>rAOr rA(-1)rBOr rB(+1)rAAt this time rB>rAAnd r isB<rA/cos(α);b)rB<<rCOr rc>>>rBOr rB(-2)rCOr rC(+2)rBAt this time rC>rBIs/cos (. alpha.) and rC<rB+rth,rthRepresents a set threshold; c) r isC<<<rDOr rD>>>rCOr rC(-3)rDOr rD(+3)rCAt this time rD<rC+rthWherein r isA,rB,rc,rDRespectively represent the vector of the obstacle sensed by the current ultrasonic sensor relative to the mobile robot, i.e. any point from the origin to the arc edge in fig. 13.
FIG. 14 further illustrates the ultrasonic modeling relationship, where the currently investigated sensor is numbered i, and the 4 sensors in proximity are numbered i, k, l, m, in terms of proximity. There are 4 pairs of relationships between the adjacent 5 measured data, i and j, i and k, j and k, k and m, which are respectively marked as (ij), (ik), (jl), (km). The values of these 4 pairs of relationships are (+/-1), (+/-2), and (+/-3) as described previously.
FIG. 15 is an ultrasound modeling environment fusion map. As shown in FIG. 15, in context fusion, transferThe relationships between sensors i and j, i and k, j and l, k and m are (1), (-2), (-1), (-2), i.e. ri>rj,ri<<rk,rj<rl,rk<rmConnecting the end points of the corresponding sector arcs, numbering the sensors from 1 to 8 starting from 0 DEG anticlockwise, numbering i (5) at present, and rthThe dashed line represents the actual environment and the solid line represents the established model, 1.25.
The ultrasonic obstacle avoidance strategy is set based on the relative distance between each ultrasonic sensor and an obstacle in the dynamic modeling of the ultrasonic sensors. In a general case, when one ultrasonic sensor senses an obstacle, the mobile robot rotates to avoid the obstacle. At this time, the adjacent ultrasonic sensors can sense the obstacle, so that the mobile robot needs to continue to rotate until the next ultrasonic sensor cannot detect the obstacle, and the mobile robot finishes obstacle avoidance operation. According to the dynamic modeling of the ultrasonic sensor in the specific example, an ultrasonic obstacle avoidance strategy is set, so that the mobile robot can bypass the obstacle at the minimum steering angle and does not touch the obstacle, and a good obstacle avoidance effect is achieved.
Preferably, the ultrasonic obstacle avoidance strategy can be set based on the installation position of the ultrasonic sensor, the relative distance between each ultrasonic sensor and the obstacle, and the size of the fan-shaped angle, so that the obstacle avoidance can be performed more accurately, and a better obstacle avoidance effect can be obtained.
The number of the ultrasonic sensors in the above-described specific example is 8, however, it may not be limited to this number, and the number of the ultrasonic sensors may be any number of 2 or more.
According to the specific embodiment of the application, the core control board is directly connected to the ultrasonic sensor, a planning strategy is obtained through data processing and algorithm operation, the command set is directly operated to control the power transmission motor, and the current state is broadcasted to the upper layer application. According to the specific embodiment of the application, the timeliness, the usability and the popularity of obstacle avoidance can be improved. The direct ultrasonic obstacle avoidance of the core control panel has more advantages than the ultrasonic obstacle avoidance applied to the upper layer, and comprises the following five aspects: (1) network transmission delay and data copying delay between data transmission of the ultrasonic sensor can be reduced; (2) the command execution priority of the transmission motor can be improved, and the blocking delay of the control of the transmission motor is reduced; (3) the scheduling delay of the application service can be reduced; (4) the independent function modules can be used by the upper layer application, so that the service development of the upper layer application is reduced; and (5) obstacle avoidance control completely independent of upper application is provided, and the safety of the mobile robot based on the obstacle avoidance control is improved.

In the sensor driving step S101, the ultrasonic sensing data may be driven to be acquired in real time; in a data preprocessing step S102, filtering, compensating, stacking, and the like are performed on the acquired ultrasonic sensor data to obtain formatted data; in the data fusion step S103, time synchronization of data is performed among the plurality of sensor data, sensor data that meets the fusion condition is screened according to time, position, direction, and the like, and then data fusion between the plurality of ultrasonic waves is performed, so as to accurately position the position and direction of an obstacle around the mobile robot; in the strategy planning step S104, based on the position and direction of the positioned obstacle, planning the movement direction of the mobile robot and the expected movement of the obstacle and the surrounding environment; in the motion control step S105, directly controlling the transmission attribute of the double-drive differential motor according to an expected motion plan, so that the double-drive differential motor walks according to a strategy plan result; in the status broadcasting step S106, communication status broadcasting with the upper layer software system is performed so that the entire system maintains good online interactive capability.
