Real-Time Trajectory Generation for Soft Robot Manipulators Using Differential Flatness

  • 通过曲率作为平坦输出,将控制输入代数化求解,避开复杂微分方程。
  • 在100Hz频率下仿真验证,计算速度达实时的23倍以上。
  • 适合需要快速可验证重规划的安全关键物理场景部署。

软体机器人具备与敏感环境交互并高效执行复杂任务的潜力,但其可变形特性与非线性动力学导致运动规划和轨迹计算极具挑战。本文提出一种针对软体机械臂的快速实时轨迹生成方法,可为任意末端执行器的运动路径生成动态可行的运动轨迹。核心洞察是:在特定条件下,软体机器人的分段恒定曲率(PCC)动力学模型具有微分平坦性,因此控制输入可通过代数运算直接求解,无需数值积分求解非线性微分方程。我们证明以机器人的曲率为平坦输出时系统满足微分平坦性。所提两步法首先通过逆运动学求解每个末端位置对应的曲率运动计划,再利用平坦性微分同胚生成符合速度约束的控制输入。在代表性的软体机械臂上对三条轨迹进行仿真验证,结果表明在100Hz采样频率下,计算速度较实时快23倍以上。该方法可支持软体机器人在安全关键物理环境中进行快速、可验证的轨迹重规划,对实际部署具有重要意义。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Soft robots have the potential to interact with sensitive environments and perform complex tasks effectively. However, motion plans and trajectories for soft manipulators are challenging to calculate due to their deformable nature and nonlinear dynamics. This article introduces a fast real-time trajectory generation approach for soft robot manipulators, which creates dynamically-feasible motions for arbitrary kinematically-feasible paths of the robot's end effector. Our insight is that piecewise constant curvature (PCC) dynamics models of soft robots can be differentially flat, therefore control inputs can be calculated algebraically rather than through a nonlinear differential equation. We prove this flatness under certain conditions, with the curvatures of the robot as the flat outputs. Our two-step trajectory generation approach uses an inverse kinematics procedure to calculate a motion plan of robot curvatures per end-effector position, then, our flatness diffeomorphism generates corresponding control inputs that respect velocity. We validate our approach through simulations of our representative soft robot manipulator along three different trajectories, demonstrating a margin of 23x faster than real-time at a frequency of 100 Hz. This approach could allow fast verifiable replanning of soft robots' motions in safety-critical physical environments, crucial for deployment in the real world.
