Description

The method of intelligent robot autonomous positioning under complex environment
Technical field
The invention belongs to Based Intelligent Control and Computer Applied Technology field, relate to a kind of method that is used for robot autonomous location, more specifically relate to a kind of robot method based on pre-stored information or group collaboration realization autonomous positioning under complex environment.Can be used for intelligent robot control, robot is self-align during AUTONOMOUS TASK under complex environment, for the autonomous robot correct decisions provides favourable precondition.
Background technology
In the last hundred years, three stages of growth have roughly been experienced in the development of robot, also are three epoch.First on behalf of simple individual robot; Second on behalf of work robot of colony, has possessed perceptibility; The third generation is the intelligent robot with highly autonomous wisdom, and its future thrust is consciousness is arranged, thinking is arranged, to talk with the people.Now, robot is in second development epoch, strides forward to the 3rd development epoch.
At present, robot research and developing direction are to intelligent development, so the independence of robot just seems particularly important.The mobile robot has important effect at numerous areas, is widely used in the productive life.In actual applications, when robot wants autonomous accomplishing a task, the most important thing is to carry out self-align, just own present residing position need be known by robot, comprise self getting local coordinate and overall situation of living in gets world coordinates, could making a strategic decision then, how next step should do.
In this position fixing process, the information that robot can utilize can be divided into two big classes: internal sensor information and external sensor information.The information that the former normally utilizes odometer to obtain, both internally motion obtain moving displacement information.The method can directly be determined mobile robot's displacement, but enough precision are only just arranged in short distance.The latter then is actually the detection information to external environment condition (as road sign).Yet all is not available whenever and wherever possible to locating effective environmental information, and all exists uncertain.This uncertainty often causes position data unreliable, thereby influences the correct decisions and the follow-up behavior of robot.Therefore, be necessary to merge complementation or redundant data, obtain robot location's reliable estimation, be applied to other subsystem of robot again from each sensor.
During this external process sensor data, owing to the limitation of the uncertainty of sensor measurement, blending algorithm, surrounding environment is lacked accurate the description and the reason such as rich of road sign feature, a lot of sensor informations all have been dropped.As: in existing method for positioning mobile robot; require sensing data to obtain simultaneously mostly; but robot is in real work; usually can not obtain a plurality of sensing datas that the method that can satisfy requires simultaneously; if certain data constantly can not meet the demands, then can abandon the data that this moment has obtained usually.Therefore the utilization ratio that improves sensing data also is the another one problem that needs concern.
Mobile robot's vision guided navigation mainly comprises the location, path planning and keep away several respects such as barrier, wherein the location is a link the most basic in the Mobile Robotics Navigation, the working environment of robot, be equipped with the kind of sensor and the different mobile robots of making of quantity multiple localization method is arranged, and be two kinds of the most frequently used localization methods at present based on the localization method of road sign with based on the localization method of overall visual information, road sign can be divided into artificial road sign, as: straight line, arrow or other figures, with natural landmark as: the door, window, the turning, lamp, pillar, so-called road sign location is to cut apart from image, identify road sign, according to the known coordinate of these road signs in environment, features such as shape are determined the relative position of robot, therefore, these road signs should have obvious characteristics and should be easy to and split from scene image, but in non-structured environment, in the time artificial road sign or natural landmark can not be set be difficult to cut apart, using overall visual information to position is one of feasible method.Localization method based on overall visual information often obtains global information by an overall camera, the position that comprises other objects in robot current location and the scene, robot itself does not need to utilize autonomous vision that image is cut apart and local feature extraction, but the positional information of utilizing overall camera to obtain is determined the position of oneself.This localization method is less demanding to the visual capacity and the computing level of robot itself, even does not require.But the shortcoming of the method maximum is how to obtain global information.In most cases, can't set up overall camera, robot can't obtain global information, and then can't carry out autonomous positioning.Under the particularly open in the open air environment, robot is because loss of learning, and to rely on global information merely be inaccurate even can't realize.Therefore, the autonomic positioning method that is applicable to various complex environments just seems and is even more important, and also is robot to one of core technology of more advanced development.
Autonomous positioning has played crucial effects as intelligent robot one of the most several the gordian techniquies of core in robot application.The various intelligent behaviors that intelligent robot embodies, multirobot cooperate the intelligent strategy that embodies etc. all will be based on self-align information accurately.Mainly concentrate on the positive location of autonomous robot for robot The Location focus in the world.Past, a lot of common methods based on overall camera all became not too suitable.
In the actual production life, the robot as main sensing tool extensively exists with vision sensor.Autonomous mobile robot particularly has biped robot, humanoid robot, in complex environment when movable, because the 3-D in body kinematics joint motion causes visual information to be subjected to great interference.Traditional localization method based on terrestrial reference in actual applications, particularly when environment is unknown, becomes very unreliable.International current research use based on probability method, concentrate and considered to solve the thought of location by optimizing motion model and sensing model.But in a single day these methods run into robot and take place to collide mutually or collide with barrier, bring very big error will for the location result.
Summary of the invention
The human experience of determining to rely on often the past to self-position, rather than constantly all at concrete some marks of identification.When the people comes a local time of coming in the past, even for a long time there is not concrete mark to occur, some trickle visual informations also can help the people to finish determining of self-position.In addition, the global position of some object around a people has obtained self position, just can judge.If this moment, another person also saw these objects, then can extrapolate the position of oneself according to this global position.The method of this cooperation is particularly common in group's cooperation of human society.Advantage by above two kinds of human thinking's basic processes is inspired just, and we have proposed a kind of brand-new intelligent robot method for self-locating.
The present invention is in conjunction with up-to-date probability localization method, human thinking and cognitive process are transplanted in the perception of robot to external environment condition, well solved in the actual location process terrestrial reference lazy weight and collision influences problems such as bearing accuracy, made intelligent robot can in complex environment, realize comparatively accurate localization.
The present invention is directed to intelligent mobile robot and be subjected to various complicated disturbance to influence pinpoint problem, a kind of method of autonomous positioning is provided.This method is applicable to that various mobile robots based on vision sensor finish under complex environment self-align, and for independently keeping in obscurity, complex tasks such as navigation provide good foundation.The present invention is transplanted to human thinking and cognitive process in the perception and memory of robot to external environment condition, has well improved conventional machines people station-keeping mode, and international newest research results is improved.The intelligent independent robot that uses method of the present invention to position can better adapt to the actual production life.
One aspect of the present invention provide a kind of under complex environment the method for intelligent robot autonomous positioning, this method is applicable to the situation that the individual machine people works alone, but perhaps a plurality of robots work simultaneously can't accurately discern each other situation between the robot, and localization method specifically may further comprise the steps:

Embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing of the present invention, most preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in more detail.
This preferred implementation is an example with four leg Soccer robots real-time positioning in football match, and the method for intelligent robot autonomous positioning under complex environment is described.Intelligent robot autonomic positioning method of the present invention comprises two kinds, and first kind is individual machine people autonomous positioning, and this also is the main method that intelligent robot is used to locate; The secondth, a plurality of robot cooperated location, the basis of co-positioned is each robot autonomous independently locating information, by the intercommunication mutually between the robot, inform other machines people's oneself locating information, then these information are carried out comprehensively obtaining more accurate in locating at last according to confidence level.
Four robot leg footballs are one of projects that get most of the attention in the robot soccer game, and it is the important tie that connects traditional wheeled robot and final humanoid robot (being biped robot).Robot soccer is a comprehensive project, and it relates to numerous traditional theories and cutting edge technology.Itself has just gathered multiple technologies such as Structural Engineering, electronic circuit, precision optical machinery, biomimetic material the robot manufacturing, technology such as computing machine, automatically control, sensing, wireless telecommunications then are that the institute that can move and play football of robot is indispensable, and the cooperation between a plurality of robots more relates to the problems such as the coordination about multiagent, cooperation and strategy of more complicated.
Be illustrated in figure 1 as the place of four robot leg football matches.Be placed with four identification post on the both sides in place, each one of the color at each identification post top is identical, is formed with yellow and blue combination respectively by pink colour.The color at goal, both sides, place is also inequality, and robot can realize the location by these different colors just.But tightly rely on this location accurate not enough.
The imageing sensor that the difference of color carries on one's body by robot (being camera) is gathered, and robot not only comprises imageing sensor on one's body, comprises that also other are as pressure transducer and touch sensor etc.Therefore, analysis-by-synthesis, all information of utilizing these sensor acquisition to arrive can realize more accurate localization.
Describe in detail in the present embodiment according to localization method of the present invention, realize the pinpoint process of robot on the field.In order to describe robot of the present invention localization method in detail, define following coordinate system earlier:
1. absolute coordinate system: it is a fixed coordinate system selected in robot work region.
2. robot coordinate system: it is to be connected in robot moving coordinate system on one's body, and its initial point is the geometric center of robot, x axle forward be the robot health the dead ahead to.
3. visual coordinate is: it is the moving coordinate system that is connected on the robot camera, and its initial point is the photocentre of robot camera, and x axle forward is the emergent light direction of primary optical axis.
When the individual machine people worked alone in play, perhaps a plurality of robots worked when still can't accurately discern between the robot simultaneously, and this also is the main localization method of robot.
Be illustrated in figure 2 as single robot real-time positioning steps flow chart synoptic diagram that works alone, concrete localization method is realized according to following steps:
1) the robot position is modeled as the density of series of points.And these points all are the pre-estimations to current location.In robot work region, generate several estimation points at random, characterize the current location estimation of robot.Corresponding its position degree of confidence of each possible position.
As Fig. 4 is probability renewal process synoptic diagram of the present invention, and the small arrow among Fig. 4 a is promptly represented the location probability signal of stochastic sampling.Because at first without any characteristic information and empirical value information, so the estimation point of Sheng Chenging may be distributed in optional position on the field immediately.
2) for four leg Soccer robots, we choose its health geometric center is position reference point, and represents with a vectorial φ of the four-dimension.It is the x/y/z triaxial coordinate of initial point that its four components are respectively with the perform region point of fixity, and the robot health towards angle.If the robot occurrence positions moves, promptly the motor movement module is driven, and then moves all sampled points according to motion model:
φ t(x,y,z,θ)=φ t-1(x,y,z,θ)+Δ t
φ wherein t(z θ) represents current time t, the position that robot may be in for x, y; φ T-1(x, y, z, θ) the residing position of expression previous moment robot; Δ tExpression is carved into t robot motion's module displacement constantly during from t-1.Mobile content is included in and draws x/y/z each goes up the component that moves position and towards the variation of angle.
Upgrading location probability according to motion model can calculate by the mileometer of robot, moved for 6 seconds on the field such as robot, according to robot current movement speed average, obtain the distance of robot ambulation, equal speed 45 cels of our four robot legs, thereby draw 270 centimetres of walkings, calculate the position after the renewal then.
3),, and increase candidate point then according to the probability of this each sampled point of information updating if there is sensor to obtain landmark information:
The image that robot scanning current shooting arrives if identify marker post in image, is then write down position and the size of this marker post in image.Then, utilize known marker post actual size, the camera attribute of robot (photocentre position, as planimetric position, focal length etc.),, can calculate the coordinate P of marker post under the camera coordinate system according to the convex lens image-forming principle Bc(x Bc, y Bc) (concrete computing method can find in the book of any relevant convex lens image-forming principle, owing to do not belong to content of the present invention, so do not give unnecessary details).In addition, robot can obtain the coordinate P of camera photocentre under the robot coordinate system by the sensor of self Cr(x Cr, y Cr) and the direction θ of primary optical axis under the robot coordinate system CrAccording to P Bc, P CrAnd θ CrJust can calculate the coordinate P of marker post under the robot coordinate system Br(x Br, y Br):
x br=x cr+x bccosθ cr-y bcsinθ cr
y br=y cr+x bcsinθ cr+y bccosθ cr
According to the coordinate P of marker post under absolute coordinate system Ba(x Ba, y Ba) and each sampled point S iCoordinate S under absolute coordinate system Rai(x Rai, y Rai, θ Rai), can calculate the coordinate P of marker post under the robot coordinate system of each sampled point representative Bri(x Bri, y Bri):
x bri=(x ba-x rai)cosθ rai+(y ba-y rai)sinθ rai
y bri=-(x ba-x rai)sinθ rai+(y ba-y rai)cosθ rai
For each sampled point S i, compare (x Br, y Br) and (x Bri, y Bri), if differ very little, then improve the probability of this sampled point; If differ greatly, then reduce the probability of this sampled point.The threshold value of judgement difference size and the increase and decrease amplitude of probability both can be fixed in advance, also can change in real time.
Bel tt(x,y,z,θ)←αP(s t|(φ t(x,y,z,θ))Bel tt(x,y,z,θ))
Bel tt(x, y, z, the θ) degree of confidence of the current estimated position of representative is by probability model P (s t| (φ t(x, y, z, θ)) upgrade.
In addition, according to the coordinate P of marker post under absolute coordinate system Ba(x Ba, y Ba) and the coordinate P of marker post under the robot coordinate system Br(x Br, y Br), can draw the coordinate P of robot under absolute coordinate system Ra(x Ra, y Ra, θ Ra) should satisfy:
x ba=x ra+x brcosθ ra-y brsinθ ra
y ba=y ra+x brsinθ ra-y brcosθ ra
Generate the some groups of P that satisfy above-mentioned condition at random Ra(x Ra, y Ra, θ Ra), as candidate point.
4) if in a period of time, all do not obtain landmark information, then call experience database, carry out images match.At first calculate the eigenwert of current images acquired in the matching process, in the present embodiment, the relation in the employing image between the gray-scale value of the gray-scale value of the geometric position of each pixel, itself and surrounding pixel point is carried out images match.Robot calculates the eigenwert of present image according to the characteristics of image value-based algorithm, searches the image I that differs minimum with it then in database Best, write down both eigenwert poor.If this difference is enough little, think that then two width of cloth images mate very much, can use I BestThe pairing position P of image BestUpgrade the probability of sampled point: for each sampled point, with its position and P BestCompare,, then improve the probability of this sampled point if differ very little; If differ greatly, then reduce the probability of this sampled point.The threshold value of judgement difference size and the increase and decrease amplitude of probability both can be fixed in advance, also can change in real time.
Bel tt(x,y,z,θ)←βP(ε t|(φ t(x,y,z,θ))Bel tt(x,y,z,θ))
P (ε wherein t| (φ t(x, y, z, θ)) representative is based on the probability of experience position new model more.In addition, at P BestNear generate several location points at random as candidate point.
For example: order has been deposited 5 width of cloth images in the tentation data storehouse, and eigenwert is 10,20,30,40,50, and the threshold value of the difference of eigenwert is 4.If calculating the eigenwert of present image is 28.5, then I Best=3, the difference of eigenwert is 1.5, much smaller than threshold value 4.So think that the current position of robot dog is exactly the position of the 3rd width of cloth database images correspondence,, and near this position, generate several positions at random as candidate point with the probability of these all sampled points of position renewal.
Fig. 3 is visual information match condition figure; Wherein Fig. 3 b and Fig. 3 d are the images of pre-stored in the experience database, and Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 c are that robot collects in real time, need the image of coupling; Shown in Fig. 3 a, when (2388 ,-1186,300) represent this image of hand sampling among the figure, the residing actual position coordinate of robot.The method of the application of the invention, the image information that in experience database, has found characteristic matching that robot is very fast, and the position coordinates that calculates place this moment is for (2388 ,-1203,300).Result and the manual current location basically identical of measuring, error is very little.The practicality and the high efficiency of method have been embodied.
5) the minimum some spots of probable value in the deletion sampled point, and the point of choosing same number from candidate point joins in the sampled point, deletes all candidate points:
Calculate the mean value of the probability of all sampled points, with this mean value be standard determine a threshold value (such as mean value 1/3), probability is lower than the sampled point deletion of this threshold value.Sampled point of every deletion, just one of picked at random is added in the sampled point from candidate point.At last, with unnecessary candidate point Delete All (process of determining threshold value has guaranteed that the sampled point number of deleting is no more than total number of candidate point).
6) find out probability and maximum zone, calculate the weighted mean value of the position of the sampled point in this zone, resulting position is as the current optimum position of robot:
The perform region of robot is divided into subregion several rules, disjoint, and then the position of each sampled point correspondence all falls into a unique sub regions.Add up the sampled point in each subregion probability and, probability and maximum subregion then are best subregion.The weighted mean value of the position of all sampled points in the calculating optimum subregion (weights are probability of sampled point), resulting mean value is the current optimum position of robot; The mean value of the probability of all sampled points in the best subregion is exactly the confidence level of this optimum position.
Be depicted as according to the diagram after the different model modification location estimation as Fig. 4 b, Fig. 4 c is depicted as the optimum position that obtains at last and estimates.
7) execution in step 2 repeatedly) to 6), finish the real-time positioning of robot.
Another aspect of the present invention provide a kind of under complex environment the method for intelligent robot autonomous positioning, this method is applicable to the collaborative work of a plurality of robots, can communicate mutually between promptly a plurality of robots.The multirobot co-positioned can be used as auxiliary localization method, owing to need the real-time Communication for Power between the robot, use the method for co-positioned, locating speed is fast not as autonomous positioning speed, but the information of location can be more accurate, when the individual machine people can not well locate, when perhaps needing point-device locating information, adopt the mode of co-positioned better.The prerequisite of co-positioned method and basis are the information of each independent location of robot.Narration according to the front, the step 1) to 8 of co-positioned method) step 1) to 7 of a merchandiser robot autonomous localization method) compares, only be many step 5), communication co-positioned mutually between promptly a plurality of robots is just introduced the detailed implementation process in this step below.
During a plurality of robot cooperated location, can intercom mutually between the robot.The agreement of communication is not limit, and both can adopt UDP, can adopt TCP/IP again.Four robot legs in this example are furnished with the wireless network card that meets the IEEE802.11b standard, adopt the mode of udp broadcast to carry out communication.
The A of robot is in motion process, if go out the B of another robot by image recognition, then by the coordinate P of image calculation machine people B under the A of robot coordinate system BA(computation process is similar to the process of the coordinate of calculation flag post under the robot coordinate system) is again according to own current optimum position P AAnd confidence level, calculate the absolute coordinates P of B BAnd confidence level r B(by the confidence level and the P of image recognition AConfidence level determine jointly).After having calculated, A is just with this P BAnd r BBroadcasting is gone out.
If both do not obtained landmark information in certain robot discovery oneself a period of time, in experience database, do not find satisfactory coupling again, then receive current all broadcast messages that send by other robot, relevant own position, and therefrom choose the highest confidence level, if this confidence level is greater than a certain threshold value, then use the probability of all sampled points of position renewal of this confidence level and correspondence thereof, and near this position, generate several positions at random as candidate point.
Such as, both do not obtained landmark information in the A of robot discovery oneself a period of time, in experience database, do not find satisfactory coupling again, and there are other three robots to broadcast position and the confidence level of A this moment, these three information (x, y, θ, r) expression is respectively (100,200,30; 0.7), (120,190,35,0.9) and (90,210,25,0.6).Then B chooses second the highest information of confidence level, if this confidence level 0.9 is higher than threshold value, then uses second all sampled point of information updating: improve and position (120,190,35) differ the probability of nearer sampled point, reduce and position (120,190,35) differ the probability of sampled point far away; In addition, near (120,190,35), generate several candidate points at random.
In addition, if can't accurately discern between the robot, promptly robot and do not know around robot which specifically is, then use the method for broadcast position information to have limitation.For one of the solution problem, the method for co-positioned is applied in the various systems, can no matter accurately discern each other between the robot, the present invention have introduced the notion of dynamic object of reference.So-called dynamically object of reference is exactly at a time, have more than a robot can see can be by the accurate object of identification of vision module.In the time can't accurately discerning each other between the robot, dynamic object of reference around they can choose, and object of reference position degree of confidence is set for the dynamic object of reference position of discerning, and follow the positional information of this object of oneself discerning together to be broadcast to the other machines people according to the position degree of confidence of oneself.If at synchronization, another robot need finish the location by cooperation, then can be, and the position of the high confidence level that by the reference this moment that broadcasting obtains is according to own that judge and distance and angle object of reference, calculate current self position.So just solved the problem that accurately to discern between the robot.The present invention promptly can be used for system more widely, and the accurate identification between the robot is also no longer included restriction.
Fig. 6 illustrates for robot actual location situation after using the present invention.Wherein Fig. 6 a) represents the physical location (800,700) of current robot ground on the scene and towards 180 ° of angles.Fig. 6 b) during expression probability of use method, the initial random distribution of sampled point, wherein arrow is represented the position of sampled point and towards angle.Fig. 6 c) expression uses international up-to-date probability localization method (Landmark-based Monte Carlo Localization) after 10 seconds, the sampling point distributions of robot perception self-position.Fig. 6 d) for after using the present invention, behind identical 10 seconds, the sampling point distributions of robot perception self-position.Can compare the present invention from figure significantly is used for the effect of autonomous robot location and carries out efficient.In order to emphasize the unknown influence of actual environment, at Fig. 6 c) and 6d) in the implementation, the position that manually changes robot is at random got back to the original position then, thereby occur under the simulating reality condition colliding and other X factors to the influence of autonomous positioning.
