提出方向约束控制,让机器人在复杂任务中更顺滑地响应人机交互意图。

Direction-Constrained Control for Efficient Physical Human-Robot Interaction under Hierarchical Tasks

  • 引入方向约束,分两步优化误差与角度偏差并动态融合结果。
  • 在7自由度机械臂上验证,轨迹更平滑,边界处无交互延迟。
  • 适合需要精准人机协作的工业场景,如装配、搬运等复杂任务。

本文针对层次化任务下的物理人机交互(pHRI)挑战,提出一种控制方法。传统层次二次规划(HQP)因允许任意速度方向调整,难以直接用于人机交互。为此,我们引入方向约束概念,设计方向约束优化算法,通过并行求解误差最小化与偏差角最小化两个子问题,并分析其相互影响以确定最优组合参数。控制框架中的速度目标采用可变阻抗控制器计算,该方法能动态调整控制目标,在约束边界处有效减小机器人速度与人意图的偏差,提升交互效率。实验在7自由度机械臂上进行,结果表明,相比现有方法,本方案在交互过程中生成更平滑的轨迹,且避免了约束边界处的延迟问题,显著提升了人机协作性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper proposes a control method to address the physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) challenge in the context of hierarchical tasks. A common approach to managing hierarchical tasks is Hierarchical Quadratic Programming (HQP), which, however, cannot be directly applied to human interaction due to its allowance of arbitrary velocity direction adjustments. To resolve this limitation, we introduce the concept of directional constraints and develop a direction-constrained optimization algorithm to handle the nonlinearities induced by these constraints. The algorithm solves two sub-problems, minimizing the error and minimizing the deviation angle, in parallel, and combines the results of the two sub-problems to produce a final optimal outcome. The mutual influence between these two sub-problems is analyzed to determine the best parameter for combination. Additionally, the velocity objective in our control framework is computed using a variable admittance controller. Traditional admittance control does not account for constraints. To address this issue, we propose a variable admittance control method to adjust control objectives dynamically. The method helps reduce the deviation between robot velocity and human intention at the constraint boundaries, thereby enhancing interaction efficiency. We evaluate the proposed method in scenarios where a human operator physically interacts with a 7-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. The results highlight the importance of incorporating directional constraints in pHRI for hierarchical tasks. Compared to existing methods, our approach generates smoother robotic trajectories during interaction while avoiding interaction delays at the constraint boundaries.
