Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of control and control systems embedded on robots. More precisely, it applies to the architecture of robots that move on or use articulated members, in particular of human or animal form.
- a robot can be called a humanoid from the moment it has certain attributes of human appearance: a head, a trunk, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet ...
- a humanoid robot can however be more or less evolved. Its members may have a larger or smaller number of joints. He can manage his balance in static and dynamic himself and walk on two members, possibly in three dimensions. It can pick up signals from the environment ("hear", "see”, “touch”, “feel” ...) and react according to more or less sophisticated behaviors, as well as interact with other robots or human beings, either by word or gesture.
- a control-command architecture comprising a single central computing unit that drives all the joint control motors quickly reaches its limits, particularly because of the heaviness of the associated connectivity.
- An alternative is to provide a decentralized architecture, classical in industrial robotics systems, with a motherboard and a controller board per motor unit or sensor. In the case of a humanoid robot having the functions indicated, the management of the input / output communications of the motherboard then becomes very heavy for the processor thereof, until it saturates.
- the present invention solves this problem by providing a control architecture at least three levels, a control level sensors / actuators by an electronic card with at least one microcontroller, a level of translation and transmission of commands to said cards and direct control of basic functions, and a level of generation of higher-level functions involving artificial intelligence of the robot.
- the present invention discloses a mobile robot on articulated members comprising a plurality of subsets of sensors and actuators, each subassembly being controlled by an electronic card, characterized in that the control functions of at least a portion of the electronic cards are distributed between at least a first computer and a second computer, said first computer ensuring in particular the transmission to said electronic cards of command of execution of functions defined by the second computer.
- certain functions of the mobile robot are programmed in the first computer, said functions managing the reflexes of the robot by determining commands of the actuators as a function of values of certain state variables of the sensors.
- certain configuration data of the mobile robot are stored in a memory managed by the first computer, said configuration data including in particular the list of controlled electronic cards, sensors and actuators controlled by said cards and operating parameters of said sensors and actuators.
- the first computer manages the initialization procedure of at least a portion of the electronic cards of the robot.
- electronic cards of the robot can be replaced by equivalent cards without modification or the programming of the first computer or the programming of the second computer.
- the second computer can be replaced by another equivalent computer without modifying the programming of the first computer.
- the communications between the first computer and the electronic cards are managed by a secure protocol on at least one specific bus, said secure protocol comprising frames comprising before the bytes of the message a byte containing at least the destination address and a bit of significant weight to a chosen value, and after the bytes of the message, at least one byte containing the size of the message and a byte containing a CRC.
- all the bytes of the frame according to said secure protocol have a first bit at the value complementary to the most significant bit of the address byte and that the first byte every seven octets contains the seven most significant bits of the seven following bytes.
- said secure protocol comprises a simulcast communication mode.
- the first computer and the electronic cards that it controls are further connected by at least two communication lines, one of which allows the detection of operation and the other the assignment of addresses to said electronic cards.
- the present invention also discloses a method of controlling a mobile robot on articulated members comprising a plurality of sensor and actuator subassembly control steps, each subassembly being controlled by an electronic card, characterized in that the steps of controlling at least a part of the electronic cards are distributed between at least a first computer and a second computer, said first computer providing in particular the step of transmitting to said electronic cards of execution control messages functions whose definition step is performed by the second computer.
- the communications between the first computer and the electronic cards are managed by a secure protocol on at least one specific bus, said secure protocol comprising frames comprising before the bytes of the message a byte containing at least the destination address and a bit most significant at a chosen value, and after the bytes of the message, at least one byte containing the message size and one byte containing a CRC and, in addition, all bytes of the frame according to said secure protocol have a first bit at the value complementary to the most significant bit of the address byte and the first byte every seven bytes contains the seven most significant bit of the following seven octets.
- the control messages are transmitted to the electronic cards with a substantially fixed period whose order of magnitude is about ten milliseconds.
- control messages produced by the second computer comprise at least one execution date per command.
- values of the dated orders are calculated by interpolation on the periodic mailing dates between the values just before and the values just after.
- the servocontrol instructions executed by an electronic card between a first command and a second command are extrapolated from the preceding commands by extending the command variation speed between the command preceding the first command and said first command.
- the servocontrol instructions executed by an electronic card between a first command and a second command are extrapolated from the preceding commands by translating the command variation speed between the command preceding the first command and said first command on the servo command. applied between the first and second orders.
- This architecture has the advantage of releasing most of the power calculation of the unit of the highest level for artificial intelligence tasks that ensure the generation of robot behavior in adequacy with usage profiles of said robot. It also makes it possible to manage the communications between the different computers on different buses, optimized by level, and to provide also optimized communication protocols. In addition, this architecture has the additional advantage that parts of the robot can be changed without reconfiguration of the robot core. It is also optimal for using dated commands that are needed to synchronize the execution of orders transmitted to the many joints of a robot humanoid, possibly from a remote machine or another robot in communication with the first robot via an asynchronous link.

- FIG. 7 illustrates the distribution of the configuration elements between the different levels of the architecture of a humanoid robot in one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 1 illustrates the physical architecture of a humanoid robot in one embodiment of the invention.
- This robot comprises about two dozen electronic cards of the sensor control type 120 and actuators 130 which control the joints.
- the map 10 shown on the figure is the one that controls the left foot.
- One of the virtues of architecture is that the cards controlling the joints are for the most part interchangeable.
- a joint normally has at least two degrees of freedom and therefore two motors. Each motor is driven at an angle.
- the joint also includes several position sensors, including MRE (Magnetic Rotary Encoder).
- the control electronic card comprises a commercial microcontroller 110. This may be for example a DSPIC TM from Microchip. It is a 16-bit MCU coupled to a DSP. This MCU has a servo loop cycle of one ms.
- the robot can also include other types of actuators, including LEDs 140 (electroluminescent diodes) whose color and intensity can reflect the emotions of the robot. It may also include other types of position sensors, including an inertial unit, FSR (ground pressure sensors), etc ....
- the head comprises the intelligence of the robot, including the card 30 which executes the high-level functions that allow the robot to perform the tasks assigned to it.
- the card 30 could however be located elsewhere in the robot, for example in the trunk. However, we will see that this location, when the head is removable, can replace these high-level functions and thus in particular to completely change the intelligence of the robot and therefore its missions very quickly. Or conversely to change a body by another (for example a defective body by a non defective) keeping the same artificial intelligence.
- the head may also include specialized cards, especially in the treatment of speech or vision.
- the processor 310 of the card 30 may be a commercial x86 processor. A low-power processor such as the Géode TM from AMD (32-bit, 500 MHz) will be favorably selected.
- the card also includes a set of RAM and flash memories. This card also manages the communication of the robot with the outside (behavior server, other robots ...), normally on a WiFi transmission layer, WiMax " possibly on a public network of mobile data communications with standard protocols possibly encapsulated in a VPN.
- the processor 310 is normally controlled by a standard OS, which makes it possible to use the usual high-level languages (C, C ++, Python, Ruby, etc.) or the specific languages. articular intelligence as URBI (programming language specialized in robotics) for the programming of high-level functions.
- URBI programming language specialized in robotics
- a card 20 is housed in the trunk of the robot. This is where the computer which, according to the invention, ensures the transmission to the cards 10 orders calculated by the card 30. This card could be housed elsewhere in the robot. But the location in the trunk is advantageous because it is located near the head and at the crossroads of the four members, which allows to minimize the connectivity connecting the card 30 to the card 20 and the cards 10.
- the computer 210 of this card 20 is also a commercial processor. This may advantageously be a 32-bit processor ARM 7 TM type clocked at 60 MHz. The type of processor, its central position, close to the on / off button, its connection to the control of the power supply make it a tool well adapted for the management of the power supply of the robot (standby mode, emergency stop,. ..).
- the card also includes a set of RAM and flash memories.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the main function of the computer 210 which is to ensure the transmission of the commands produced by the computer 310 to the cards 10 comprising in particular sensors 120, actuators (for example motors 130 and possibly LEDs 140). Some orders may be transmitted directly to certain cards without passing through the card 20. This is particularly the case for the cards in the head that do not include a motor (cards to control the LEDs of the face, the detection of the touch and LEDs of the ears).
- the link between these cards and the card 30 is advantageously provided by an I2C bus, effective for the signal frames that borrow it.
- the card 20 is connected to the card 30 by a USB bus which has a sufficient reliability and speed for this function, and which uses very little power on the processor 30. Moreover, this USB link makes it possible, when removing the In one embodiment, the head containing the card 30 directly connects the other elements of the calculation architecture to an external computer to carry out the developments and the test.
- a USB protocol adapted for this application is briefly described below.
- the structure of the message is traditional: a header comprising a first fixed byte, a second type byte, an address byte, a message length byte, the message bytes (up to 128 bytes) and two bytes fixed end of message whose first is identical to the first byte of the header.
- the bytes of the message that are equal to the first byte of header are systematically doubled to undeceive the receiver.
- a specificity of the protocol used is the management of positive and negative acknowledgments (ACK and NACK) for reading and writing.
- ACK positive and negative acknowledgments
- NACK negative acknowledgments
- the message includes in the "Data” field those that have been read or written. If the operation fails (NACK), the "Data" field has a specific sequence.
- the card 20 communicates with the cards 10 located in the upper limbs and the lower limbs by two links for example of the RS485 type.
- Each RS485 link is completed by a debug line to which all the cards 10 and the card 20 are connected and a member-by-member chaining line which passes from the first card 10 from one member to the next starting from the card 20.
- the function of these lines is explained later in the description.
- RS485 links are widely used in industrial environments and are suitable for use in controlling and controlling a humanoid robot because of their very low susceptibility to pests. In addition, they offer a bit rate higher than 46,600 bytes per second, which is necessary to exchange a lot of information in both directions. However, they have the disadvantage that the message frames are sent continuously on the link which makes it more difficult to decode the messages. It is therefore necessary to use a secure communication protocol for finding the different messages in the frames.
- the message header consists of a byte including the six-bit destination address, a bit indicating whether to read or write, and a most significant bit always at 1.
- the beginning message contains two bytes in addition to the address, the first coding the size of the message, the second the type of the message and the last byte of the message is constituted by a CRC covering the entire message.
- the messages can be of the type: joint angle, viscosity of a joint, reset, LEDs, device configuration, various reprogramming commands, etc.
- the 1 st destination address is set to zero.
- the destination cards of a part of the message are identified by a BID or Broadcast ID which allows each card to find the part of the message intended for it.
- This mode makes it possible in particular to send commands to the actuators, such as the positions of the joints to be reached.
- the protocol is slightly different: the master sends the 1st byte (always with the MSB at 1) followed by the number of bytes to be requested on 7 bits and a CRC on 7 bits of these two bytes.
- the card designated by the address only responds if the CRC is good. It then responds to the number of bytes requested with the MSB always at 0.
- the data read on the motor cards depends on the requested length, the starting point being always the same. The most useful and most frequently read data is placed at the beginning of the area to be read. These are the positions of the joint sensors, current, errors and temperature.
- At the level of the torso card 20 there is no count of bytes. There is only a time-out corresponding to the time of sending the response bytes with a margin. At the end of the time-out, the card has received or not the bytes, which makes it possible not to disturb the operation of the rest of the robot in case of failure of a card.
- the debugging and chaining links are used essentially at the time of initialization of the robot, the management of which is also ensured by the card 20, which is another of its important functions.
- the map 20 is controlled by the ignition button and initializes first.
- the cards 10 and the card 30 then start; your cards 10 send on the debug line a bit at 0; the card 20 sends back to them a command on the chaining line which passes this status bit to 1.
- the addresses are then allocated in increments of one unit by one for each of the cards on each line of chaining, until the last card of the member. It is therefore the position of the cards 10 in the chain that creates a "physical" differentiation between them while they are identical. In case of reset, the entire chaining is replayed.
- the debugging and chaining lines are, for example, lines using the One Wire protocol on which square pulse trains which code bits 0 (duration of the pulse in the low state of the order of 50 ⁇ s) circulate. and 1 (duration of the pulse in the low state of the order of 250 ⁇ s).
- FIG. 3 illustrates the logical architecture of a humanoid robot according to the invention.
- the robot comprises a card management module (DCM) which can be implanted essentially on the card 30 but also at least partially on the card 20.
- the program DCM begins by reading an internal configuration buffer to each card 10 (for example a motor card). At this stage, this buffer only contains internal indications to the card (versions of the bootloader - automatic loader of the boot file, the program, the card, address of the card obtained by the chaining).
- the buffer is filled in the DCM by all the configuration values: BID, number and position of the MRE in the chain, number and position of the motors, joint servo coefficient, presence of LEDs, or FSR, etc.
- the buffer is then sent again to the card 10, This update of the configuration parameters of the cards 10 advantageously replaces an update of the flash memory of the cards.
- the data read on the cards 10 are stored in an internal robot database (STM) kept in RAM.
- STM internal robot database
- the logic architecture of the robot is broken down into a type of master device referred to as Devices in the following description (essentially MCU 110 of the electronics boards 10 of the robot) then to slave devices called SubDevices (sensors 120 or actuators 130, 140) connected to the Device.
- Devices are themselves same slaves compared to the whole cards 20,30. They are characterized by a type, a bus (I2C head or torso, RS485 up or down) and an address on this bus.
- the SubDevices are characterized by a type (motors, LEDs FSR ...) that define whether they are sensor or actuator, the Device attached and the number of SubDevice.
- the position of the articulation corresponds to a sensor SubDevice (corresponding to the angular information returned by the sensor) and to an actuator SubDevice separated from the first one, corresponding to the position to be achieved.
- a motor card preferably includes two motor SubDevices (actuator), 2 SubDevices sensor position (sensor), 2 current SubDevices (sensor) ...
- the face card can have a large number of LED SubDevices (actuator) (48). in one embodiment).
- a SubDevice is also characterized by the floating point value of its main state variable (the angular position of the joint for a position sensor, the current measurement for the current sensor, the value of the LED for the LED actuator, etc.
- variables derived from the main variable gain, offset, minimum and maximum values, acknowledgment of receipt (ACK) or acknowledgment of non-receipt (NACK), ERROR - different from 0 in case of Devices have no main state variable value, but they have ACK / NACK / ERROR type counter values, and other values are specific to Device or SubDevice types (for example servo coefficients on the motor actuators) All these values are updated automatically and visible in the STM from high-level applications.
- variables derived from the main variable gain, offset, minimum and maximum values, acknowledgment of receipt (ACK) or acknowledgment of non-receipt (NACK), ERROR - different from 0 in case of Devices have no main state variable value, but they have ACK / NACK / ERROR type counter values, and other values are specific to Device or SubDevice types (for example servo coefficients on the motor actuators) All these values are updated automatically and visible in the STM from high-level applications.
- the ACK and NACK counters are respectively incremented for each successful communication or for each communication error with the Device / SubDevice. They can detect card access problems and calculate their frequency.
- This Device / SubDevice architecture is described for each robot in a configuration file present by default (standard configuration) in the card 30 and easily modifiable, but certain specific values are also stored in a flash memory of the card 20. This is of another important function of this card 20 which thus preserves the independence between the high level and the low level of the robot.
- the DCM does not itself have information "hard” on the electronic architecture of the robot. Access to the sensors and actuators is via a "key" bearing the name of SubDevice / Value.
- the DCM operates with an internal cycle of 10 to 20ms. Most sensors and actuators are updated / read systematically at each cycle. This makes it possible to operate at constant load, to optimize communications, to make a communication error non-critical (it only lasts 20ms).
- the card 20 converts commands developed by the DCM and transmitted in a USB protocol RS485 protocol. It is also possible to use one of the memories of the card 20 as a buffer of these commands, so as to perform interpolation calculations between commands as indicated below.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the generation and transmission of a set of commands for the robot to advance by a distance ⁇ by following a heading ⁇ at a speed ⁇ .
- the processor 30 develops the commands to be applied to the motors of the joints Ai , A 2 , A 3 of the robot to execute the order ⁇ , ⁇ ', ⁇ .
- the absolute date of the execution is calculated.
- neither communications between robot cards nor communications from the outside that can provide input parameters to the setpoint to be executed can have a time Guaranteed route to the place of their execution and thus some dates of arrival and execution.
- the dating of the orders makes it possible to ensure their synchronization in this context in a relatively simple way. For example, the system date of the processor 30 can be used.
- the DCM Depending on the configuration information and the state of the known system, the DCM generates a series of values of the variable ⁇ (angle control) of the stress of the actuators A, a sequence of moments t in the future, ⁇ o ⁇ t ⁇ .
- the duration T on which it is possible to calculate and transmit the values ⁇ is a function notably of the memory capacity of the dedicated RAM of the DCM. Insofar as the DCM has its own cycle (10 to 20 ms as already indicated), it is necessary to generate current commands at the moment the frames are transmitted.
- the processor 210 For sending new commands, it is also possible to merge two suites ⁇ t ⁇ concerning the same actuator, the one in DCM RAM and a new one sent by an external module. This operation is performed before the interpolation. The result of the interpolation is encapsulated in USB frames and then transmitted from the card 30 to the card 20. In a variant, it is also possible to transmit the sequence ⁇ ) it ⁇ and to carry out the transformations in the card 20. In both cases, the processor 210 then carries out the elimination of the USB protocol and the encapsulation in RS485 frames according to the secure protocol described above.
- the simulcast mode is privileged, by coding the addresses of the Devices containing the SubDevices A, to execute the commands.
- the frames are then transmitted simultaneously on the RS485 bus to the Devices controlling the SubDevices A, to execute commands.
- the frame control procedure makes it possible to ensure the integrity of the transmitted messages.
- An interpolation is carried out on the 1 st Devices between the command to be executed and the last previously executed in order to smooth movements of the joints. Transformations by linear interpolation performed on transmission are illustrated by FIGS. 5A and 5B.
- 7 commands spaced by 10 ms replace one another with two commands spaced apart by 70 ms.
- the values of the orders evolve without difficulty in a monotonous way.
- FIG. 5B where there is a change of direction of variation of the state variable, the stair interpolation function makes it possible to reconstruct this change more smoothly.
- FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D Various types of command frame merging transformations are illustrated in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D.
- the merger consists of taking into account all the commands.
- the oldest command is erased beyond a given date.
- the oldest command is erased before a given date.
- the oldest command is completely cleared.
- FIG. 7B illustrates this second type of significant deceleration situation and applies to it another method of calculating the evolution of the setpoint, which consists of introducing a delay effect of one cycle: ⁇ 2 is the translated of ⁇ 2 of a cycle. We can see graphically that thus ⁇ 2 is closer to ⁇ 2 than would result from the previous calculation.
- the plug-ins can retrieve the system clock in a simple way, and thus synchronize with the command generator. To reduce the calculation load of the DCM, it is possible to group the commands to be addressed to several actuators on an alias.
- Device.xml configuration file (preference) and several subfiles linked to some parts of the robot (Device_Head.xml, Device_Chest.xml and others if necessary). Some parts of the robot are interchangeable. The head can be easily separated from the body or implanted again. Arms or other parts of the robot can also be replaced. This versatility is both useful for maintenance and, as already indicated, to adapt a robot to new missions or give it a new personality or a new appearance. But there are calibration values associated with these parts that are essential to take into account the specific implementation (calibration of joint sensors, LEDs, modifications made to adjust certain parameters after mounting ).
