In order to reduce the complexity of path planning, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of path planning. In one embodiment, the global map includes a plurality of nodes, and the connection relationship between the nodes represents a feasible route of the robot. The motion controller performs path planning based on the global map to obtain a planned path, and the method comprises the following steps: determining intermediate nodes in the global map to form an intermediate node set; determining a current position point of the dredging robot, executing a preset path searching algorithm to determine the shortest path between the current position point and each intermediate node in the intermediate node set, and selecting an intermediate node with the smallest path distance in the shortest path of each intermediate node as a new current position point; executing a preset path searching algorithm to determine the shortest path between the new current position point and each rest of intermediate nodes in the intermediate node set, selecting the intermediate node with the smallest path distance in the shortest path of each rest of intermediate nodes as the new current position point, and repeatedly executing the preset searching algorithm until each intermediate node in the intermediate node set is traversed; determining a target shortest path between a last traversed intermediate node in the intermediate node set and a target position point; and merging the target shortest paths, and obtaining a planned path by the shortest path with the minimum path distance in the shortest paths of all the intermediate nodes, wherein the shortest paths are determined when a preset path searching algorithm is executed each time. In one embodiment, the preset path search algorithm includes at least a diecktra algorithm, i.e., dijkstra algorithm.
Specifically, in the actual scenario that the dredging robot performs the dredging operation in the cell, it may need to pass through one or several intermediate nodes from a starting point, such as a current location point, to a target point, such as a target location point, so that it is necessary to find a shortest path through nodes in all the intermediate node sets when planning a path. The traditional Dijkstra algorithm can only solve the problem of the classical shortest path from a single source to other nodes, but cannot solve the situation of containing intermediate nodes. For this problem, the final result can be obtained by an exhaustive method, and the shortest path including all the intermediate nodes is finally found through each test, but the complexity of the algorithm increases exponentially with the complexity of the problem, that is, as the intermediate nodes increase, the intermediate node set becomes larger, and the path meeting the condition increases exponentially with the increase of the nodes, so that the space complexity and the time complexity of searching for the optimal shortest path are too high, which is obviously not feasible in practical application. In this embodiment, considering the actual scenario application situation of the dredging inspection robot, it is a feasible scheme to plan a feasible path including all the selected intermediate nodes in a limited time and search for an approximately optimal solution to replace the optimal solution. Thus, an improved path search algorithm comprising an intermediate set of nodes is proposed on the basis of the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm.
The basic process of the improved path searching algorithm comprising the intermediate node set is as follows:
the nodes are classified by whether they are intermediate nodes or not, and the intermediate node set C contains n+1 intermediate nodes Ki (where i=0, 1,2,..n). Intermediate nodes are nodes between a start point and an end point in a path.
And executing Dijkstra algorithm from the current starting point to find the shortest path from the current starting point to all intermediate nodes. Then based on the idea of greedy strategy, sorting the path distances from the current starting point to the shortest paths of all intermediate nodes according to the length, selecting the shortest path with the smallest path distance as a segmented path, and setting the intermediate node K corresponding to the shortest path with the smallest path distance i As a new current starting point, the Dijkstra algorithm steps are repeatedly executed until all intermediate nodes in the intermediate node set C are traversed and accessed.
When all the intermediate nodes finish access, searching the shortest path from the last accessed intermediate node to the target point as a segmented path, combining all the segmented paths, and finally obtaining a shortest path from the starting point to the target point, wherein the shortest path is approximately the optimal solution.
Further description is provided below in connection with a specific example. As shown in fig. 3, vertex 1 is selected as the current start point S (i.e., the current position point), and vertex 5 is the end point G (i.e., the target position point). The path planning is performed by using a conventional Dijkstra algorithm, and the result is that, for example, the distance from the start point S to the shortest path of the end point G is 20, and the shortest path is the connection line of the nodes 1- >3- >6- >5, as shown in fig. 4.
By adopting the Dijkstra improved path search algorithm including the intermediate node set of this embodiment, a one-dimensional array dist is defined to store the shortest path from the start point to each vertex, array S stores the vertex, i.e., the node set, array path stores the path from the start point to the target point, and array pathList stores all the segment paths. For example, vertex 2 and vertex 4 are placed in the set of intermediate nodes C. According to the algorithm, firstly, using the vertex 1 as a starting point, calculating a path distance dist [2] =7 to the vertex 2, a path distance dist [4] =20 to the vertex 4, traversing the intermediate nodes, and comparing the path distance from the starting point to each intermediate node, wherein dist [2] < dist [4], so that a segmented path 1- >2 is put into a path list; then, using the vertex 2 as a starting point, calculating a path distance dist [4] =15 to the vertex 4 according to an algorithm, and putting the path 2- >4 into a path list because only one intermediate node exists at the moment after the intermediate node traverses; the intermediate nodes have all visited, the last visited vertex 4 is taken as a starting point, the shortest path of the final point, namely vertex 5, namely dist [5] =6, the segmented path 4- >5 is put into a pathList, the segmented paths are combined, namely, the path from the starting point S to the final point G is found, and the final result is a path 1- >2- >4>5, as shown in fig. 3.
The optimal solution is found by segmentation, and after all nodes are found, the segmented paths are combined to obtain the approximate shortest path, so that a feasible path comprising all the selected intermediate nodes can be planned in a limited time, and the approximate optimal solution is searched to replace the optimal solution, thereby reducing the complexity of path planning and improving the accuracy and efficiency of path planning to a certain extent.
In one embodiment, the motion controller includes a PID controller that generates the PWM drive signal based on a difference between the third rotational speed and a set rotational speed. The principle of PID control can be understood with reference to the prior art, and the dredging robot walking control is realized based on the PID controller in the embodiment, so that the walking stability on a bumpy road surface can be improved.
In one embodiment, the motion controller is further configured to control the dredging robot to walk based on a preset acceleration and deceleration curve.
The preset acceleration and deceleration curve is shown in fig. 4, and is mainly composed of 7 speed stages, and the speed stages are respectively as follows in sequence: acceleration phase, uniform acceleration phase, deceleration phase, uniform velocity phase, acceleration-deceleration phase, uniform deceleration phase, and deceleration-deceleration phase (i.e., t) 1 ~t 7 Each corresponding curve segment). It can be seen that the speed connection is smooth between the curve segments of each stage, so that the robot operates more stably, the speed change is more stable, and the stability of the whole system is improved.
Specifically, the mathematical relation formula between the running speed, the acceleration and the jerk of the dredging robot is as follows:
wherein j (τ) is the jerk function of the dredging robot, and the acceleration function a (t) can be obtained by integrating the jerk function, and the speed function v (t) of the dredging robot can be obtained by integrating the acceleration function a (t) in time.
The jerk function for each speed stage is as follows:
wherein J represents jerk.
From the above equation, the acceleration equation for each speed stage can be derived as follows:
and then, the operation speed calculation formula of the dredging robot in each speed stage of the acceleration and deceleration curve can be deduced by the acceleration formula:
