  • 基于螺旋理论与余弦杆模型,推导出动力学方程的解析导数。
  • 在6种机器人系统上实现最高3000倍的计算加速,精度显著提升。
  • 适合需高精度仿真的软硬混合机器人设计与控制研究者。

利用控制方程导数的算法已显著提升刚性机器人的仿真速度与精度,但将其拓展至软体及混合软硬机器人仍面临巨大挑战,主要源于软体连续变形建模的复杂性。许多软体机器人及混合机器人的柔性构件可有效建模为细长杆。几何可变应变(GVS)模型结合螺旋理论与Cosserat杆的应变参数化,将混合软硬机器人统一纳入同一数学框架。本文基于递归牛顿-欧拉算法,推导出GVS模型控制方程的解析导数,支持动力学隐式积分,并提供静力学残差的解析雅可比矩阵,实现快速精准计算。我们将其应用于六类典型系统:软电缆驱动机械臂、混合串联机器人、鳍状手指、混合并联机器人、接触场景及水下混合移动机器人。仿真结果表明,计算效率显著提升,最快达三个数量级。通过对比有无解析导数的模拟验证了模型有效性。该方法不仅适用于静态与动态仿真,更有望推动混合机器人系统的分析、控制与优化在真实场景中的应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Algorithms that use derivatives of governing equations have accelerated rigid robot simulations and improved their accuracy, enabling the modeling of complex, real-world capabilities. However, extending these methods to soft and hybrid soft-rigid robots is significantly more challenging due to the complexities in modeling continuous deformations inherent in soft bodies. A considerable number of soft robots and the deformable links of hybrid robots can be effectively modeled as slender rods. The Geometric Variable Strain (GVS) model, which employs the screw theory and the strain parameterization of the Cosserat rod, extends the rod theory to model hybrid soft-rigid robots within the same mathematical framework. Using the Recursive Newton-Euler Algorithm, we developed the analytical derivatives of the governing equations of the GVS model. These derivatives facilitate the implicit integration of dynamics and provide the analytical Jacobian of the statics residue, ensuring fast and accurate computations. We applied these derivatives to the mechanical simulations of six common robotic systems: a soft cable-driven manipulator, a hybrid serial robot, a fin-ray finger, a hybrid parallel robot, a contact scenario, and an underwater hybrid mobile robot. Simulation results demonstrate substantial improvements in computational efficiency, with speed-ups of up to three orders of magnitude. We validate the model by comparing simulations done with and without analytical derivatives. Beyond static and dynamic simulations, the techniques discussed in this paper hold the potential to revolutionize the analysis, control, and optimization of hybrid robotic systems for real-world applications.
