Robot Cell Modeling via Exploratory Robot Motions: A Novel and Accessible Data-Driven Approach

  • 通过探索性运动采集关节数据,计算扫掠体积生成保守环境网格。
  • 3分钟探索+4分钟计算,实现高精度碰撞避免建模。
  • 无需传感器或CAD,适合无技术背景的工业用户使用。

在真实场景中生成无碰撞机器人路径至关重要,但需精确建模机器人工作空间内的所有障碍物,尤其在柔性产线中,每次改造都需重新建模,传统方法成本高、耗时长。基于传感器的方法常依赖昂贵硬件和校准,且受光照、反射等环境因素影响。为此,本文提出一种新颖的数据驱动方法,仅利用机器人内部关节编码器记录探索性运动,计算对应扫掠体积(SV),生成保守的环境网格,用于现有路径规划与控制中的碰撞检测。该方法省去对CAD文件和外部传感器的需求,显著降低建模复杂度与成本。我们在KUKA LBR iisy协作机器人上验证,仅需不到3分钟的探索运动和额外4分钟计算时间,即可获得可用于无碰撞运动的精确模型。方法直观易用,适用于各类工业机器人或协作机器人,无需专业技术知识。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generating a collision-free robot motion is crucial for safe applications in real-world settings. This requires an accurate model of all obstacle shapes within the constrained robot cell, which is particularly challenging and time-consuming. The difficulty is heightened in flexible production lines, where the environment model must be updated each time the robot cell is modified. Furthermore, sensor-based methods often necessitate costly hardware and calibration procedures and can be influenced by environmental factors (e.g., light conditions or reflections). To address these challenges, we present a novel data-driven approach to modeling a cluttered workspace, leveraging solely the robot internal joint encoders to capture exploratory motions. By computing the corresponding swept volume (SV), we generate a (conservative) mesh of the environment that is subsequently used for collision checking within established path planning and control methods. Our method significantly reduces the complexity and cost of classical environment modeling by removing the need for computer-aided design (CAD) files and external sensors. We validate the approach with the KUKA LBR iisy collaborative robot in a pick-and-place scenario. In less than three minutes of exploratory robot motions and less than four additional minutes of computation time, we obtain an accurate model that enables collision-free motions. Our approach is intuitive and easy to use, making it accessible to users without specialized technical knowledge. It is applicable to all types of industrial robots or cobots.
