Description

Position force hybrid control method for tracking unknown curved surface by robot
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of robot control, in particular to a method for accurately tracking an unknown curved surface by adopting a bit force hybrid control method under the condition that the tail end of an actuator of a robot contacts the unknown curved surface.
Background
In robotic operations, accurate tracking of unknown surfaces is a challenging task. The conventional control method requires first performing visual recognition of an unknown curved surface and then performing robot operation control.
Current visual recognition methods face some challenges in robotic operations, particularly in the task of accurately tracking unknown surfaces. These challenges are mainly related to the selection of visual sensors, cost and computational complexity. First, visual recognition methods typically require the use of visual sensors to acquire image information in the environment. These sensors include cameras, lidar, etc. devices for capturing visual data of the robot work area. However, high precision vision sensors are often expensive, which may increase the overall cost of the robotic system. For some applications, cost may be a limiting factor. Second, accurate tracking of unknown surfaces typically requires complex operations and algorithms. Visual recognition involves computationally intensive tasks such as image processing, feature extraction, object detection, and the like. These tasks may require powerful computing resources and algorithm support, especially when processing complex environments or large amounts of data. This may result in a robotic system requiring higher performance hardware, increasing the complexity of the overall system.
In addition, the robot operation control needs to satisfy both position and force control, and the existing control method is difficult to cope with complex shapes and changes of unknown curved surfaces. In existing robot control methods, model-based control and conventional feedback control methods are generally employed to achieve control of the position and force of the robot. However, these methods have some drawbacks in the context of facing unknown surfaces. Conventional model-based methods typically require the establishment of an accurate system dynamics model in advance, but the shape and properties of unknown surfaces are difficult to model accurately in advance, resulting in reduced controller performance. The feedback control method has relatively slow response to the change of an unknown environment, and cannot meet the unknown curved surface tracking task with high real-time requirements. Traditional control methods rely on accurate system models, but in the case of unknown surfaces, the models may be difficult to obtain accurately. According to the invention, a deep learning method is adopted, and the characteristics of an unknown curved surface are learned from actual measurement data by training a neural network model, so that dependence on an accurate model is avoided.

Detailed Description
Other advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following disclosure, which describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to specific examples. The invention may be practiced or carried out in other embodiments that depart from the specific details, and the details of the present description may be modified or varied from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments merely illustrate the basic idea of the present invention by way of illustration, and the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Wherein the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are shown in schematic, non-physical, and not intended to limit the invention; for the purpose of better illustrating embodiments of the invention, certain elements of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced and do not represent the size of the actual product; it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures in the drawings and descriptions thereof may be omitted.
The method of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. As shown in fig. 1, the robot tip operates on an unknown surface, which may be any surface of the workpiece that may have burrs or be uneven.
As shown in fig. 2, the invention provides a position force hybrid control method for tracking an unknown curved surface by a robot, which comprises the following steps:
1. Initializing and setting robot parameters: setting initial joint position and speed, and determining kinetic model parameters of the robot, including a mass matrix, a Ke's matrix, a gravity matrix and the like.
Before the operation of the robot starts, it is necessary to determine the initial joint position and speed of the robot. This may be accomplished by moving the robot to a known location, or by sensors acquiring status information of the current joint. Accurate setting of the initial state is important for control and planning of subsequent movements.
The kinetic model of the robot describes the motion behavior of the robot system, including parameters such as a mass matrix, a coriolis matrix, a gravity matrix, and the like. The exact setting of these parameters is crucial for performing inverse kinematics and motion planning. Typically, these parameters may be obtained by making experimental measurements on the robot or from specifications provided by the manufacturer.
2. Measuring motion trail information of a robot: the motion trail information of the robot is measured, specifically, a force sensor arranged at the tail end of the robot can be used for measuring the contact force, and the position and displacement of the end effector under the world coordinate system are calculated according to the positive kinematics relation of the robot.
A force sensor mounted at the end of the robot is used to measure the contact force of the robot with the environment or work object. These force sensors can provide real-time contact force information that aids in the perception of the robot to the external environment or work object.
Through positive kinematics, the joint state of the robot can be mapped to the position and displacement of the end effector in the world coordinate system, which provides a basis for subsequent motion control and planning.
For complex surfaces or unknown surfaces, it is difficult for a robot to achieve the desired tracking effect. According to the complexity of the curved surface, manual teaching operation can be performed in the early stage or before the operation starts, so that measurement point data can be obtained.
3. Training data processing: and processing the motion trail information of the robot to form a training data set.
During the movement of the robot, the acquired movement track data may contain a large amount of redundant measurement points and redundant information. This results in a large computational burden on the one hand and in a non-smooth or less than expected fit or prediction surface on the other hand. In order to improve the learning efficiency of the neural network and reduce the calculation load, the trajectory data needs to be processed to form an effective training data set. Therefore, on the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of the data, the data of the measurement points are reduced as much as possible, so that the subsequent neural network training is facilitated.
Training data processing, specifically:
(1) Determining a starting point and an ending point of a motion trail to be processed, and adding the starting point and the ending point into a training data set;
(2) Sequentially calculating the distances from other measuring points on the track to the track where the starting point and the ending point are located;
(3) Calculating the maximum distance between the measuring point and the track, and if the maximum distance is smaller than the threshold value, removing all points except the starting point and the ending point; if the maximum distance is greater than the threshold value, segmenting the motion trail at a measuring point where the maximum distance is located;
(4) And (3) repeatedly executing the steps (1) - (3) on all the formed motion trajectories until the maximum distance is larger than a threshold value or the number of measurement points in the current training data set is larger than a preset number, and ending the iteration.
The threshold value is the roughness arithmetic average height of the unknown curved surface, the roughness arithmetic average height is the roughness parameter of the curved surface, and the average value of absolute values of height differences of each point relative to the average surface of the surface is represented. The value may be measured or calculated by a roughness measuring device.
4. Future trajectories of the robot tips are predicted using the back propagation neural network. At this stage, a back propagation neural network is used to learn and predict future trajectories of the robot tips.
The inputs to the back propagation neural network are the aforementioned training data set, and the outputs include a fitted expression of the unknown surface and future displacements of the robot tip. For surface fitting, the neural network may output parameters of the surface, such as polynomial coefficients or parameters of other fitting functions or implicit expressions. For the prediction of future displacement, the neural network outputs positional information of the robot tip at a future time step.
By supervised learning, the difference between the known displacement information and the displacement information predicted by the neural network is used as a loss function. The loss function may take a variety of forms, such as Mean Square Error (MSE), etc., for measuring the difference between the predicted and actual values. Through a back propagation algorithm, the neural network optimizes network parameters according to the gradient of the loss function to reduce the prediction error. This process is iterated until the network is able to obtain good fit and predictive performance on the training data.
Through this process, the neural network is able to learn the fitted expression of the unknown surface and the future trajectory of the robot tip. After training is completed, the network can be used for prediction of unknown surfaces and simulation of future trajectories of robots.
5. And performing force-bit hybrid control, and applying the calculated force to the end effector of the robot while moving the robot along the unknown curved surface.
In the process of tracking an unknown curved surface, the problems of overshoot, large tracking error and the like may exist, and the overshoot of contact force or displacement may damage a robot or a workpiece to be processed or easily generate vibration. The specific control law is as follows:
Wherein, X d is the expected position of the robot tip, X c is the current position of the robot tip, F d is the expected contact force, F c is the current contact force, M, B, K p、Kd is the robot control parameter, T is the control period, and λ is the update rate.
Alternatively, the control law may be:
wherein, X d is the expected position of the robot end, X c is the current position of the robot end, F d is the expected contact force, F c is the current contact force, M, B, K is the robot control parameter, I is the identity matrix, and R is the diagonal matrix with matrix elements of 1 or 0.
When the robot tracks an unknown curved surface, a hybrid control design is introduced, force-based control and position control are combined, and meanwhile, an adaptive law is adopted to reduce overshoot and improve tracking performance. By hybrid control, the robot tip is moved along an unknown surface while maintaining contact and applying the desired normal force to the surface. The hybrid control design realizes control of contact force errors by introducing PID control and self-adaptive law, reduces overshoot, and combines force-based control and position control to improve the tracking performance of the robot on an unknown curved surface. The goal of the hybrid control is to maintain the required contact force while achieving tip position control and to achieve smooth, stable motion during the tracking of an unknown surface.
6. The neural network is updated in real time, and loop control is performed. Specifically, updating the neural network in real time includes: in the motion process of the robot, continuously collecting new sensor data and actual displacement information; updating parameters of the neural network in real time by using new data; and applying the neural network updated in real time to a control system of the robot. The parameters of the neural network can be updated by adopting an online learning or incremental learning method, and the neural network is adjusted according to new data so as to continuously improve the accuracy of the curved surface model. In real-time updating, online learning strategies such as random gradient descent (SGD) or other incremental learning algorithms may be employed to adjust the network weights and offsets stepwise to better adapt the network to the characteristics of the unknown surface.
Specifically, performing loop control includes: predicting by using the updated neural network to obtain a future track or displacement of the tail end of the robot; according to the hybrid control design, the predicted displacement information and the actual sensor measurement data are combined, a control law is updated, and a new control force is calculated; the calculated force is applied to the robotic end effector to effect real-time movement of the robot along the unknown surface while maintaining contact and applying the desired normal force to the surface.
Through the process of updating the neural network and executing the cyclic control in real time, the robot can dynamically adjust the control strategy according to the latest information and the actual motion situation so as to adapt to the change of an unknown curved surface, continuously improve the accuracy of a curved surface prediction model, better adapt to the change of the curved surface and improve the tracking performance and the control precision. This strategy makes the robotic system more adaptive and real-time.
