Abstract

This invention provides an interactive caretaking robot with the functions of obstacle avoidance and decision-making based on force-sensing, it is mainly to equip a passive motor on the frame body for controlling the rotation of wheels, and use a grip force sensor to detect the gripping force of the user, and use a distance sensor to detect the obstacle in the front. The passive motor is capable of reversely transmitting a reaction force value. The intention of the user can be inferred from the reaction force and control signal of the user's gripping force, so that the action of the robot can be controlled accordingly. Moreover, during the movement, an obstacle-avoidance signal of the distance sensor is used to control the robot for avoiding obstacles. Therefore, the autonomous movement capability of the user is ensured, and the mobility coordination can thus be trained. Moreover, the intention-sensing manner is used as the power compensation mechanism, which enabling the user to operate the robot easily.

To allow users to smoothly pass the slopes and obstacles. 201038262 A further object of the present invention is to provide an interactive care robot with obstacle avoidance and force sense decision-making, which has the advantages of easy operation and high degree of freedom. To achieve the above objective, the present invention discloses an interactive care robot with obstacle avoidance and force sense decision, comprising: a frame body, a plurality of wheels, at least two passive motors, at least one grip force sensor, and at least one ranging sensor. And a central controller β and two passive motors respectively drive the left and right wheel speeds' and obtain a reaction force value; and the grip force sensor can sense the magnitude and direction of the user's force, thereby determining that the user intends to issue a control signal The distance measuring sensor is installed in front of the frame body, and sends a dodging signal when there is an obstacle in front; the central controller is electrically coupled to the passive motor and the grip force sensor to the anti-ranging sensor. Used to integrate all the messages to judge the robot to perform the action. When there is no reaction force (indicating that the force is not applied), the passive motor damping value will be the maximum, the wheel is locked, the robot is stationary; when the reaction force is detected, and the control signal is reacted The user intends to advance, the central controller commands the motor to reduce the damping value, and the wheel rotates at a constant speed. In the middle process, if the dodging signal is received, the dodge is prioritized before continuing. ; If front-line state, received the exception grip strength values, indicating that the user is in tension, timely reduce motor passive damping value in order to preserve the safety of users.

The value is smaller than the measured force value measured by the rear test piece 143. Regardless of the state, the grip force sensor M〇R, 14 team system will generate the control gamma number for expressing the user state, and the grip force _ device is a multi-directional force. The combination of the number of the sensors is not the focus of the present invention. There are many similar types of sensing sheets on the market that can achieve the same purpose, and therefore replacement of similar structures should be included in the spirit of the present invention. Continuing with the sixth figure, together with the seventh (a) and seventh figures, the present invention uses a total of nine ranging sensors 150a to 150i, and the object is a reflection type such as an ultrasonic wave, a laser or an infrared sensor. The sensors are arranged around the chassis 111 at intervals of 22.5 degrees to obtain a detection range of 18 degrees in front of the frame, and all the ranging sensors 150a to 150i are projected toward the front ground, and The projection distance is set to the standard projection length dH, and the distance of the front obstacle can be determined by the reflected wave return time to obtain an dodging signal. Furthermore, as shown in the third and fourth figures, in the present embodiment, the device two-person sensors 160a, 160b are on the support 113 and the human-distance sensors I60a, 160b are oriented toward the user, Q. It is a kind of reflective sensor, such as laser, infrared or ultrasonic sensor, and the human distance sensor 160a can detect the user's upper body. The human distance sensor i6〇b can detect the user's lower body distance. According to the difference between the upper and lower distances and the time, a status signal is issued, which is about whether the user is sitting, going, standing or walking. In particular, the sensor characteristics are different, and the sensing characteristics, distance, and range are also different. Therefore, the distance measuring sensor and the position setting of the human distance sensor are not limited by the present invention, and are required and required. And make the appropriate settings. In addition, the accelerometer 170 is electrically coupled to an auxiliary wheel 123R rotating shaft, and can count the rotation speed of the auxiliary wheel 123R to obtain a speed signal of the robot 1 〇〇 acceleration, and the actual system adopts the 7 201038262 axis coder, and of course For other functional products of the same function, the tilt sensor (not shown) is mounted on the chassis m of the frame body to detect the inclination of the road surface of the robot 100, and the gyroscope or the two axes can be mainly used. Acceleration II and other products reach, false | ^ ground level, when the robot 100 is on the slope section, it will send a tilt signal to express the angle between the current position and the horizontal plane. Secondly, the central controller 180 includes two circuit boards 181R and 181L disposed at the bottom end of the frame body 11 and two control boxes 182R and 182L, and the two circuit boards 181R and isi are respectively electrically connected according to their left and right positions. Coupling grip force sensors 14〇R, 140L, distance sensors i5〇a~I50i, human distance sensors 160a, 160b, accelerometer 170, tilt sensor 'and two passive motors 13〇R, 13 The encoder of 〇L is used to read all the signals for logical judgment and operation, and the two control boxes 182R and 182L are electrically coupled to the two passive motors 130R and 130L, and the current magnitude can be changed to change the damping values of the passive motors 130R and 130L. . The housing 19 is aesthetically pleasing and has the benefit of a protective structure, which covers all the frames and the parts of the sensor that are easily damaged, and the other purpose is to protect the user's operation. Uncomfortable. Through the structural description of an embodiment of the present invention, the general structure of the present invention can be understood. Before the operation of the present invention, as shown in the eighth figure, the logic circuit of the circuit boards 181R, 181L and the control box 182R are assumed. The 182L forms a main control unit 200, the control signals of the grip force sensors 140R and 140L, the state signals of the human distance sensors 160a and 160b, and the damping value feedback of the passive motors 130R and 130L constitute the intention determination unit 300, and the distance sensing is performed. The dodging signal of the devices 150a to 150i, the speed signal of the accelerometer 170, and the tilt signal of the tilt sensor form the obstacle sensing unit 400. In conjunction with the structure of the third and fourth figures, as follows, it is further explained how the meaning determining unit 3〇〇 affects the main control unit 200 to judge the control. With reference to the ninth (a) diagram, the ninth (b) diagram, and the tenth 201038262 diagram, in the standard state, the initial state of each value is set in the main control unit 200, and the received signal data and the initial state setting value are compared. The robot 1〇〇 motion analysis is as follows; Static: As shown in the ninth (a) diagram, the motor i30R, 13〇L reaction force value is zero, the damping value is the largest, and the auxiliary wheels 123L, 123R are locked. 'The frame no is static. At this time, regardless of the magnitude of the control signal return force and the status signal, the frame 110 is not affected. Get up: With the tenth figure, when the status signal responds that the user is not sitting down, and the upper test piece 141 feels a little pressure, 'because the reaction force of the motors 130R, 130L increases, this condition is that the user is ready to get up' It is most necessary to stabilize the supporting force to ensure safety. Therefore, the damping values of the motors 130R and 130L are increased, and the auxiliary wheels 123L and 123R are locked, so that the system assumes a stable stationary state, and the user can use the force to force the body to get up. Forward moment: When the status signal shows the standing state, the reaction force value increases continuously, which also means that the thrust received by the robot 100 continues to increase. 'When the thrust exceeds a standard value, and as shown in the ninth (a) diagram, the main control unit 200 It is judged whether the control signal is received at the same time, and if the control signal shows that the front test piece 142 measures a force greater than the standard value P〇 as shown in the figure IX (b), the force measured by the test piece 143 is compared. Standard value p. (The force measured when no force is applied) is small. Moreover, the difference between the two sensors 142 and 143 is greater than zero, which means that the user wants to advance 'to make the motor 130R, 130L lower the damping value, so that the user can easily Push the robot 100 forward. Walking: The status signal indicates that the user is in the walking state, and the gripping force value of the control signal is maintained at the set value Ρ, and the fixed value is maintained between the set values A. The passive motors 130R and 130L control the auxiliary wheels 123L, 123R to drive the robot at a constant speed. 100 forward. 9 201038262 Stopping moment: When the state of the city is displayed, the value of the counter-force is decreasing, indicating that the pushing force is reduced. Moreover, the gripping force of the measuring piece 143 after the control signal is measured is greater than the standard value p. Then, the grip strength measured by the test piece 142 is less than the standard value 卩. And the difference between the grip strengths of the front and rear test pieces 142, 143 is less than 〇, indicating that the user is ready to stop the pace, at this time, the main control unit 200 commands the motors i30R, 13〇L to gradually increase the damping value until the auxiliary wheels 123R, 123L are locked. . Emergency: When the system is in a sudden situation, the body is self-aged because of the nervous body leaning forward and increasing the grip. When the detection status signal is in a state of tension, and the grip strength is large, it indicates that there is an unclear situation that makes the user nervous. Avoid danger. At this time, increase the damping value and lock the auxiliary wheels 123R and 123L. Turn left and right: When the state is walking, the left hand pressure on the left hand force force is greater than the grip force value applied to the right hand force sensor 14〇R, indicating that the user wants to turn left. The central control unit 200 sends the user a left turn signal to increase the damping of the left motor 13 to force the left auxiliary wheel 123L to stop. Because the right auxiliary wheel 123 is still in a rotating relationship, the robot 100 will turn left. On the other hand, when turning right, the right auxiliary wheel (2) is stopped by the same reason, and the left auxiliary wheel 12 drives the robot to turn right. It can be seen from the above strategy that the present invention does not provide active power guidance, but allows the user to operate the robot more easily, taking into account the user's physical condition. The structure of the third and the _ is matched as follows, and then the obstacle sensing unit 4 〇〇 is further controlled to control the relationship with the main control unit 2 . Encounter obstacles ·············································································································· S1, the ranging sensor 150c is provided with a detecting area S2, the ranging sensor 15〇d and the ranging sensor 150f are provided with a detecting area, and the ranging sensor 15〇g is provided with a detecting area. S4, the ranging sensor 15〇h and the ranging sensor 15〇i are provided with a detection area S5; in addition, in this embodiment, the six most common obstacle modes are built in, such as the eleventh (a) Figure 11 - Figure 11 (f) is used to simplify the processing of the main control unit 2'. Thus, when the fine areas S1 to S5 return the dodge signal, the signal generation areas S1 to S5 are obtained. Knowing the obstacle at the angle of the left side of the robot 1 or the angle of the right side, and calculating the obstacle distance according to the reflection time, determining which obstacle mode is applicable, and then the priority is controlled by the main control unit 2〇〇, and the passive motor 130R is controlled. 130L stops the auxiliary wheels 123R, 123L on the side where the obstacle is located to change the forward direction of the robot 1 , and the robot 1〇 The 〇 steering system is related to the detection distance. When the distance is shorter, the speed of changing the damping value is faster, and the robot 100 is turned faster to avoid collision, and vice versa. There are slopes or stairs in front of 0: refer to the twelfth (8) and twelfth (9) drawings, and with the seventh (9), the ground is also regarded as a kind of obstacle. When setting the distance measuring sensor: i50a~150i, A standard projection length dH has been set for the barrier-free fashion, and if the dodge signal is returned, the distance obtained by the conversion is greater than the standard distance dH, which is also dl&gt; (JH, as shown in the twelfth (8) figure, Obstructions or downhills can alert the user to the attention. Conversely, as shown in the twelfth (b), the side distance d2 is less than the standard distance, indicating that there is an obstacle or an uphill state. 11 201038262 Slope road end: true When going uphill and downhill, you can turn the accelerometer 1? feed speed signal to control the passive motor 13GR, 13GL damping money to compensate the user's force, avoid the insufficient thrust of the robot 1 上 when going uphill, and downhill When the robot 1 拉 pulls the user due to the relationship between the weight and the acceleration, the danger occurs. The above is the decision mode and the operation mode of the machine of the present invention. The present invention considers that the general user system is old. Or the fresh-keeping person _ system, for the long-term use of the silk-guided way to cause the user to degrade the force, so the driving force of the gamma user as the driving force for the advancement of the money, the transfer effect At the same time, the present invention considers that the conventional passive robot can't be as easy as the main one. (10) The user can easily control the power, so the mining motor can meet the demand compensation force according to the machine. In order to make up for the lack of coordination and the lack of strength; in addition, the compensation of the body language of the sensory system can reduce the use of face-to-face, which has good performance and stability, and with the addition The obstacle avoidance control enhances the safety of use.
