FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a mechanical structure operating system using a flight manipulator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method of operating a mechanical structure using a flight manipulator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mechanical structure operating system 1, a flight manipulator 10, a multi-rotor 12, a robot arm 14, an operating device 100, a position acquiring unit 110, A direction filter 130, a controller 140, an ideal force setting unit 150, and an end effector setting unit 160 are shown.

The mechanical structure operating system 1 according to the present embodiment uses the fly manipulator 10 composed of the multi-rotor 12 equipped with the robot arm 14, And it is possible to operate without any prior knowledge about the mechanical structure of the machine.

Hereinafter, for convenience of understanding and explanation of the invention, it is assumed that the mechanical structure to be operated is a drawer having mechanical limitations in which movement is allowed only in one direction. Here, for practical application, it is assumed that the moving direction of the drawer and the mechanical characteristics of the drawer (for example, mass, spring, damper, lubricant state, etc.) are not provided in advance.

The mechanical structure operating system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the flight manipulator 10 and the operating device 100 as a basic framework.

The flight manipulator 10 includes a multi-rotor 12 capable of vertical take-off and landing and a robot arm 14 mounted on the multi-rotor 12 and exerting a force on the mechanical structure for operation. Here, the robot arm 14 may be implemented with multiple degrees of freedom.

The end of the robot arm 14 is equipped with an end effector for gripping the drawer handle to operate the drawer and moves to open and close the drawer according to the operation command.

The flight manipulator 10 has a limited flight mechanism by holding the drawer handle and in this embodiment it is necessary to derive the dynamic equation of the flight manipulator 10 with limited end effector movement.

The operating device 100 acquires the position of the end effector and estimates the speed of the end effector to estimate the direction of movement according to the mechanical limitations of the drawer, thereby controlling the thrust and moment for operating the multi-rotor. In addition, an ideal force can be set to smoothly move the drawer so that an ideal force is applied to the drawer by guiding the position of the end effector.

The operating device 100 includes a position acquiring unit 110, an end effector speed estimating unit 120, a direction filter 130, and a controller 140. An abnormal force setting unit 150 and an end effector setting unit 160. [

A method of operating a mechanical structure using a flight manipulator performed in the operating device 100 is as follows.

(Step S250). Here, the term "desired force" refers to an ideal force that allows the drawer to move smoothly at a predetermined moving speed.

The abnormal force set in the anisotropic force setting unit 150 may be transmitted to the end effector setting unit 160 and used to set the trajectory of the end effector.

) To the next position (

(Step S260). The next planned position can be transmitted to the robot arm 14 as a robot arm manipulation command.

The controller 140 controls the position and attitude of the multi-rotor 12 by further utilizing the abnormal force set by the anomaly setting unit 150 and the position of the end effector provided from the robot arm 14, Can be generated.

When trying to operate a structure with mechanical limitations such as a drawer, the ground mobile robot can withstand the forces and torques generated by mechanical limitations. However, in the case of a flight manipulator, its stability is easily taken into consideration because it has a limitation of being easily unstable.

Conventionally, a robot platform equipped with a force and torque sensor that estimates parameters related to mechanical limitations or applies a compliance control scheme is used. However, because the flight manipulator is only based on external forces, the force manipulator's torque and torque measurement are useful information I can not give it.

Accordingly, in the mechanical structure operating system 1 using the flight manipulator according to the present embodiment, the moving direction of the unknown drawer is estimated from the speed of the end effector, and an ideal force for smoothly pushing or pulling the drawer is set, By guiding the position, the stability of the flight manipulator can be enhanced and smooth drawer pull and pull operations can be performed.

It is a matter of course that the method of operating the mechanical structure using the flight manipulator shown in FIG. 2 may be performed by an automated procedure in a time-series sequence by a program built in or installed in the digital processing apparatus (operating apparatus 100). The codes and code segments that make up the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the program is stored in a computer readable medium readable by the digital processing apparatus, and is read and executed by the digital processing apparatus to implement the method. The information storage medium includes a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, and a carrier wave medium.

Hereinafter, the mechanical equation of the flight manipulator 10 holding the drawer handle is derived in the mechanical structure operating system 1 using the flight manipulator, and the relationship between the force applied to the fly manipulator 10 and the drawer is analyzed . The controller 140 for operating the drawer is then designed and a strategy for estimating the direction of movement of the drawer and calculating the force applied to the drawer by utilizing the end effector speed will be described and the end effector path will be designed.

First, we will derive the dynamic equation of the flight manipulator with the end effector motion by holding the drawer handle.

가 대신 고려될 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 5, considering the entire area of the work area makes the problem too complicated, a subset, represented by having linear inequality constraints

Can be considered instead.

By using linear inequality with constraints, the optimization problem can be set as a QP problem. In addition, the problem can be solved analytically by identifying the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. With relaxed constraints, the end effector planning algorithm can be implemented in real time.

Hereinafter, experimental setup and results of the effectiveness of the mechanical structure operating system using the flight manipulator designed according to the present embodiment will be described.

First, the experiment setting conditions are as follows.

을 전송하는 AHRS는

에 설치된다. 멀티로터의 위치는 모션 캡쳐 시스템 (VICON)에 의해 측정되며, 병진속도는 위치 측정을 통해 계산된다. 이 값들은 지상 제어 시스템에서 계산되고 온보드 컴퓨터로 전송된다. The multi-rotor was developed using MK Hexa 2, which weighs approximately 1.8 kg and has a length of 60 cm from end to end. ARM Cortex, based on a bare-board computer, is installed on the board to calculate control inputs and process sensor data. For attitude control of the multi-rotor,

And the estimated Euler angles

AHRS to transmit

Respectively. The position of the multi-rotor is measured by the motion capture system (VICON), and the translation speed is calculated by the position measurement. These values are calculated in the ground control system and transmitted to the onboard computer.

The 450g robot arm is assembled with the servo motor. Each servo motor counts its position value and sends it to the onboard computer. The joint angle is estimated from the onboard computer. In addition, the camera is installed in the end effector of the robot arm and provides visual information to guide the flight manipulator to catch the drawer handle.

Drawers used in this experiment were made using sliding rails commonly used in furniture. The movement path of the drawer is approximately 70 cm. The drawer handle has been modified to fit the end effector.

The experimental scenario involves opening and closing the drawer without prior knowledge of the drawer. After takeoff, the flight manipulator grabs the drawer handle by using the visual information provided through the camera. If successful, begin to apply force to the drawer handle to open or close the drawer. After the operational mission is completed, return to the original position and land.

The experimental results are as follows.

Fig. 6 is a history graph during drawer open mode, Fig. 7 is a history graph during drawer close mode, and Fig. 8 is an experimental snapshot according to various drawer directions.

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this embodiment, an experiment was carried out with various settings for opening and closing the drawer. The history graphs shown in Figs. 6 and 7 correspond to Figs. 8B and 8D, respectively.

Is adjusted to zero (0). Also,

Successfully tracks the reference value indicating the anomaly force applied to open and close the drawer. Also,

Shows the proper tracking performance following the reference angle, which is the estimated moving direction of the drawer calculated using equation (34).

In this particular example, the estimated moving direction of the drawer converges to a true value of -40 degrees.

6 and 7, the movement speed of the end effector is shown in the lowermost graph. In both cases, although the physical properties of the drawer were not known in advance, the speed of the drawer is well adjusted to the ideal value.

Based on experimental results, the effectiveness of this embodiment for operating an unknown, limited mechanical mechanism using a flight manipulator has been demonstrated.
