昆虫-计算机混合机器人的发展为复杂地形导航和机器人应用带来了巨大潜力。本研究提出一种自动组装方法,通过在蟑螂背上精准植入定制双极电极实现。针对马达加斯加嘶鸣蟑螂前胸与中胸之间的体节膜,开发了刺激协议,结合深度学习视觉系统定位植入点,并设计专用固定结构,完成整套装配仅需68秒。自动组装的混合机器人实现了超过70度的转向控制(0.4秒刺激)、68.2%的速度降低(0.4秒刺激),性能与人工组装相当。此外,由4个混合机器人组成的多智能体系统成功覆盖受阻户外地形,持续10分31秒,覆盖率达80.25%,验证了该系统规模化生产的可行性。所提出的自动化策略显著缩短准备时间,同时保持高精度控制,为实际应用中的可扩展制造与部署奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The advancement of insect-computer hybrid robots holds significant promise for navigating complex terrains and enhancing robotics applications. This study introduced an automatic assembly method for insect-computer hybrid robots, which was accomplished by mounting backpack with precise implantation of custom-designed bipolar electrodes. We developed a stimulation protocol for the intersegmental membrane between pronotum and mesothorax of the Madagascar hissing cockroach, allowing for bipolar electrodes' automatic implantation using a robotic arm. The assembly process was integrated with a deep learning-based vision system to accurately identify the implantation site, and a dedicated structure to fix the insect (68 s for the whole assembly process). The automatically assembled hybrid robots demonstrated steering control (over 70 degrees for 0.4 s stimulation) and deceleration control (68.2% speed reduction for 0.4 s stimulation), matching the performance of manually assembled systems. Furthermore, a multi-agent system consisting of 4 hybrid robots successfully covered obstructed outdoor terrain (80.25% for 10 minutes 31 seconds), highlighting the feasibility of mass-producing these systems for practical applications. The proposed automatic assembly strategy reduced preparation time for the insect-computer hybrid robots while maintaining their precise control, laying a foundation for scalable production and deployment in real-world applications.
