Description

Multi-finger grabbing planning method and device for polygonal object
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multi-finger grabbing planning method and device, in particular to a multi-finger grabbing planning method and device for a polygonal object.
Background
In the research of intelligent robots, anthropomorphic robots are used as the highest level of robot research, and the realization of humanoid behaviors is always used as the target of sleepiness. The multi-finger dexterous hand which has fine manipulation capability and imitates a human hand in structure and function is the most complex and key research content in the field of robot research. At present, multi-finger dexterous hands are developed successfully all over the world, have position and strength sensing capabilities and can realize dexterous grasping and operation.
However, the control and manipulation of the finger movements of the multi-finger dexterous hand of the robot are still in the human-computer interaction stage, and usually, a user wears a data glove with a plurality of sensors and then remotely controls and operates the dexterous hand through the movement of the fingers in the data glove and by using a computer network. The current multi-finger dexterous hand is only the mechanical extension of a human hand and cannot be separated from a human body to independently complete the basic motion control and operation. Therefore, the multi-finger grabbing planning method of the multi-finger dexterous hand is very key to the application and research of the anthropomorphic robot, the multi-finger grabbing planning is also one of the landmark application fields of the artificial intelligence technology, and once the technology is broken through, the anthropomorphic robot can have dexterous operation and accurate force control and motion control capacity on objects in various shapes, so that humanoid behaviors are realized.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a polygonal object multi-finger grabbing area planning method and device, which can automatically determine that grabbing operation is carried out according to an optimal grabbing scheme when a multi-finger dexterous hand with four fingers grabs a polygonal object, and realize intelligent operation of grabbing a polygon by the multi-finger dexterous hand.
In the robot multi-finger grabbing plan, the shape sealing is a basic criterion for judging the reasonability of a robot multi-finger grabbing scheme, and the stability and balance of a grabbed object can be ensured at the contact position of fingers meeting the shape sealing requirements. In this arrangement, any external disturbing forces acting on the gripped object can be borne by the robot fingers in contact with the object. For the problem of frictionless gripping of planar objects, the form closure requirement is usually achieved only by a proper arrangement of four fingers.
The invention discloses a guaranteed-shape closed multi-finger grabbing planning method for a planar polygonal object, which is an automatic planning and control problem of distribution positions of fingers of a multi-finger dexterous hand with four fingers on a grabbing boundary of a workpiece. The grabbing object is a prismatic workpiece, namely the grabbing surface of the workpiece is a plane perpendicular to the grabbing plane, and all grabbing points of the workpiece are located on the same plane. According to the shape closure requirement, the friction force at the contact part of the finger and the grabbed object is not considered.
The conception of the invention is as follows: a new geometric explanation is made on the shape closure requirement by the instantaneous center triangle concept, namely, a method for representing the position relation between four fingers and a polygon meeting the shape closure requirement is established by using the instantaneous center triangle concept. And determining the contact areas of the four fingers on any polygonal object according to the representation method, wherein the contact area of each finger has independence, namely the independent movement of each finger in the area of the finger can ensure that the finger and the other three fingers form a closed grabbing scheme together.
The following introduces the relevant theory:
1. definition of instantaneous center triangle and its properties
The problem of contact with a point on a plan view can be described by the characteristics of the centrode triangle. The instantaneous center triangle is a triangle formed by the intersection points of the direction lines of the contact force of any three fingers of the multi-finger hand on the workpiece. The concept of the instant center is derived from planar kinematics, the instant center is the instantaneous same-speed point of two objects making relative motion, and if one of the objects is fixed, the instant center is the instantaneous rotation center of the other object. Three instant centers exist in the combination of every two of the three fingers. The centrode triangle has the following properties:
the sides of the centrode triangle have directionality, with the positive direction being the same as the direction of the contact force that the side is in.
The homodromous and heterodromous sides of the centrocentric triangle. If the two sides of the centrode triangle have the same direction to the moment of any point in the triangle, the two sides are called as the homodromous sides, and the other side is called as the heterodromous side.
The centrode triangle has two morphologies: the instantaneous triangle with three sides in the same direction and the instantaneous triangle with two sides in the same direction and one side in different direction.
For an instantaneous triangle with two homodromous sides, the positive direction of the opposite side must be within the sector area sandwiched by the positive directions of the two homodromous sides.
2. Determining the position range of the fourth finger meeting the shape closing requirement according to the property of the instantaneous center triangle
The position of the fourth finger contact point relative to the centrode triangle under the condition of ensuring the grabbing balance (meeting the shape closure requirement) can be determined by utilizing the centrode triangle without considering the friction between the fingers and the grabbed object. Two theorems are given below regarding the contact force direction and position condition of the fourth finger that satisfies the form closure condition.
Theorem 1: for the instantaneous triangle with two homodromous sides, the direction line position of the contact force of the fourth finger must intersect with the two homodromous sides of the instantaneous triangle, and the direction of the contact force must be in a fan shape enclosed by the negative directions of the two homodromous sides.
Theorem 2: for a centrode triangle with three sides in the same direction, the direction line position of the contact force of the fourth finger cannot intersect with any side of the centrode triangle. Direction condition of contact force of the fourth finger: the positive direction of the contact force must be opposite to the direction of the moment about a point inside the centrode triangle with respect to any side of the centrode triangle with respect to the same point.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

Detailed Description
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is:
referring to fig. 1, the device of the multi-finger grasp planning method for polygonal objects comprises a control and driver 3 for controlling and driving a multi-finger dexterous hand 4, an image acquisition and processor 1 with an output connected with an input of a grasp planner 2, and an output of the grasp planner 2 connected with an input of the control and driver 3.
Referring to fig. 1, the method for multi-finger capture planning of the polygonal object includes: the image acquisition and processor 1 acquires the image of the target by using the digital camera, converts the image into a three-dimensional solid figure which is convenient for computer representation, and finally outputs a polygon on the grabbing plane. The grabbing planner generates grabbing schemes according to the specific geometric dimensions of the polygons and the multi-finger dexterous hand sent by the image acquisition and processor 1, inputs grabbing constraint, quality evaluation indexes and other information which embody the requirements of users by a keyboard, and finally outputs the optimal grabbing schemes to the control and driver 3 to control and drive the multi-finger grab 4.
To illustrate the operation of the gripping planner 2, a more detailed description of FIGS. 3-13 is provided:
fig. 3 illustrates a centrode triangle formed by three contact points, in which three small circles represent three fingers, a broken line represents a plane contour of a grasped object, a solid line represents a graspable boundary on the plane contour, an upper case A, B, C represents a contact position of the finger with a polygon, and lower case letters a, b, and c are centrode triangles formed by contact force direction lines of the three fingers with a workpiece (i.e., inner normal lines of the contact points of the fingers on the boundary of the workpiece).
Fig. 4 shows the relationship between the positions of the contact points of four fingers and the centrode triangle with two homodromous sides, which is a-b-c, and ab and bc respectively. According to theorem 1, the action line of the fourth contact force satisfying the shape closure must intersect with the two homodromous sides bc and ab of the centrode triangle, and according to the direction requirement of theorem 1, in the force-receiving direction of the contact force, the action line must first intersect with bc and then intersect with ab.
Fig. 5 shows a centrode triangle with three co-directional sides and the positional relationship of the contact points of four fingers. The three sides are all in the same direction with respect to the distance of a point inside the triangle. The large arrows in the figure indicate the possible location and direction of the fourth contact force.
The centrode triangle formed by the internal normals at the end points of the three grabbing sides in the figure 6 is characterized in that the internal normals are respectively made at the end points of the three sides of any given polygon, so that the internal normals of the workpiece are made at the two end points of the three sides and are called the internal normals of the extreme positions of the workpiece. The three sides have 6 inner normals at the extreme positions, one inner normal at the extreme positions is taken out from each of the three sides to form an instantaneous center triangle, and the 6 inner normals can form 8 instantaneous center triangles. The 8 instantaneous triangles are all instantaneous triangles with two homodromous sides or all instantaneous triangles with three homodromous sides. The figure shows two homodromous instantaneous triangles.
Fig. 7 judges whether the given four sides have the shape closed grabbing scheme, and determines the range of feasible contact points of the fourth side. In fig. 7, the intersection of the projections of two homodromous sides Q1Q2 and Q2Q4 of the instantaneous center triangle Q1-Q2Q4 to E4 is t1t2, and the angle between the inner normal n4 of the E4 and the inner normal n2 of the boundary E2 where the anisotropic side of the instantaneous center triangle is located is greater than 90 degrees, so that the 4 sides E1, E2, E3 and E4 of the polygonal object have a grabbing scheme meeting the requirements of shape closure.

Figure 2 shows the working procedure of the grab planner.
The working steps of the grabbing planner are as follows:
1. grabbing scheme for judging whether given boundary quadruple exists and meets shape closure condition
Including the creation of boundary quadruples, i.e. finding four edges from a polygon, which is a combinatorial problem of choosing 4 edges from a polygon of n edges. The method for judging whether the boundary quadruple has the grabbing scheme comprises the following steps: 1) three sides are selected to construct 8 instantaneous center triangles with two homodromous sides; if the instantaneous center triangles with two same-direction edges cannot be constructed, the boundary quadruple does not have a grabbing scheme meeting the shape closure requirement. Otherwise, the next judgment is carried out. 2) If the 4 th edge satisfies the following two conditions, the 4 edges have a grasping scheme that satisfies the form closure requirement. Under two conditions:
the directional condition: the included angle between the direction of the inner normal of the fourth side and the direction of the opposite side of the instantaneous center triangle is larger than 90 degrees.
The position condition: if the intersection of the projection of two homodromous sides of at least more than one of the 8 centroidal triangles on the fourth grabbing side is not null.
In fig. 7, the intersection of the projections of two homodromous sides Q1Q2 and Q2Q4 of an instantaneous center triangle Q1-Q2-Q4 to the E4 is t1t2, and the included angle between the inner normal n4 of the E4 and the inner normal n2 of a polygon boundary side E2 where the instantaneous center triangle is located is larger than 90 degrees, so that the 4 sides E1, E2, E3 and E4 of the polygon have a grabbing scheme meeting the shape closure requirement.
2. Snatch edge naming
For a boundary quadruple capable of forming a centrode triangle, the first three edges are named as follows: the boundary where the anisotropic side of the centrode triangle is located is E2, and the 4 th side is E4. E1 and E3 are specified according to the position of the intersection point of the inner normals of the two sides relative to the two homodromous sides of the centrode triangle, if the intersection point is the starting point of the homodromous side, the grabbing side where the inner normal coincident with the homodromous side is located is E3, the other side is E1, and otherwise, the opposite is realized.
3 determining feasible grabbing sections of the fourth edge of the boundary four-tuple meeting the shape closed grabbing condition
The sum of the intersection of the projections of the two homodromous sides of all the instantaneous center triangles on the fourth side is the feasible interval for ensuring the shape-closed grabbing on the fourth side. In fig. 7, E4 is a feasible grabbing section in the full length range because the intersection of the projections of the two homodromous sides of the instant center triangle P1-Q2-P4 on the fourth grabbing side E4 completely covers E4.
And 4, determining a contact point possible grabbing section on the opposite side.
The sides of the three internal normals forming the instantaneous center triangle are E1, E2 and E3, wherein E2 is the grabbing side where the anisotropic side of the instantaneous center triangle is located. For any point on the position where the finger can be grasped on E4, the direction line of the finger contact force (i.e. the inner normal of E4) at the point is n4, and the two end points passing through E1 and E3 are respectively taken as the respective inner normals, so that 4 inner normals are total. There are four intersections of these 4 internal normals, and if the four intersections are on either side of n4, the graspable segment on E2 is composed of two parts, otherwise there is only one graspable segment on E2. The method for calculating the feasible grabbing position specifically comprises the following steps:
1) centro triangles were constructed with the internal normals at the start positions of E1, E2, and E3.
Intersection points J21 and J23 between the normal line in the starting point position of E2 and the normal lines n1 and n3 in the starting point positions of E1 and E3 are obtained, and intersection point J42 between the normal lines n2 and n4 in the starting point position of E2 is obtained.
If the intersection points J21, J23 and the intersection point J31 are located on both sides of n4, respectively, then E2 can form a closed gripping section from the starting position to the end position.
Otherwise, moving n2 in the forward direction of E2 so that the intersection points J21, J23 and J31 of n2 and n1 and n3 are located on both sides of n4, respectively, then n2 moves from the current position to the end point, which is the first feasible grabbing section where E2 satisfies the form closure grabbing. The feasible grabbing position of n4 is also the end point from the current position to the edge of E4.
If the movement of n2 is not such that J21, J23 and the intersection point J31 are located just on either side of n4, then the centrode triangle containing the origin limit intersection point is not present.
2) An centrode triangle is constructed with the internal normals at the end positions of E1, E2, and E3.
Intersection points J21 'and J23' between the end point limit position normal line of E2 and the end point normal lines n1 and n3 in the end points of E1 and E3 are determined, and intersection point J42 between the normal lines n2 and n4 in the start point position of E2 is determined.
If the intersection points J21 ', J23 ' and J31 ' are located on either side of n4, respectively. E2 is operable to form a closed gripping section from the end position to the start position.
Otherwise, starting from the end of E2, the movement is performed in the direction of the starting point position, so that J21 ', J23 ' and the intersection point J31 ' are located exactly on both sides of n4, and starting from the current position of n2 to the starting point position of E2, these areas are each a possible gripping section of E2, which forms a closed contact point. The feasible grabbing position of n4 is also from the start of the edge E4 to the current position.
If the movement of n2 is not such that J21 ', J23 ' and the intersection point J31 ' are located just on either side of n4, then the instant center triangle containing the endpoint limit intersection point is not present.
5 on the equidirectional side, a section of possible gripping contact points that satisfies a form closure condition.
After the potential grasping sections of E2 are determined, the potential grasping sections on the two co-directional sides E1 and E3 are determined based on the contact point positions on the given E2 and E4. After the feasible sections on the two same-direction edges are determined, namely the feasible sections on E1 are determined, the feasible sections on E3 are determined for a certain position of a given inner normal n1 on E1. According to the position relation between the intersection point J42 of n4 and n2 and the inner normal of the end point of the edge of E1 and E3, the feasible section on the equidirectional edge is probably composed of two parts, and the solving method of each part is as follows.
The corresponding vertical lines of E1 and E3 are drawn through point J42 to obtain p1 and p3, respectively. Depending on whether J42 is located within the inner normal limit section of E1, E3, it is possible to split E1 and E3 into two parts by the fold lines p1-J42-p3, and likewise the fold lines p1-J42-p3 split the inner normals n2 and n4 on E2 and E4 into two parts.

Otherwise, with the position of n1 as the argument, the position range of n3 varies with the position of n1, see fig. 13.

N3 of E3, P3 '-P3 ", wherein P3' is determined by: for any given contact position on E1, p3 is the projection of the intersection of the current position of n1 and n4 at E3. The position of P3 "depends on the following conditions: and if the internal normal n1 is set, the intersection point of n1 and n3 is J13, the intersection point of n1 and n4 is J14, and the intersection point of n1 and n2 is J12, the feasible grabbing section of n3 is to ensure that J14 is located between J13 and J12 on the internal normal n1, so that the position of P3 ″ is the end point of E3 or P3.

6 determining the optimal grabbing position
A feasible grabbing interval, namely an interval of finger contact positions which are guaranteed to be closed in shape on each edge, is obtained through the steps. The feasible interval on each edge changes along with the change of the position of n4, and the optimal grabbing position on the current 4 grabbing boundaries is determined according to the conditions of finger space position distribution condition, finger contact force keeping balance and the like.
7 determining the optimal grabbing scheme
When all the boundary quadruples of a given polygon object are processed, since there is a possibility that there exists a capture scheme for each boundary quadruple, an optimal capture scheme must be found from all the feasible schemes. The invention takes the factors of the wrist motion amplitude, the finger motion amplitude, the relative position of the finger contact point, the relative magnitude of the finger contact force and the like as evaluation indexes to evaluate all schemes and obtain the optimal grabbing scheme.
