折纸结构通过折叠几何可设计出可变形的软体机器人。管状折纸结构可作为连续型机械臂,在柔韧性和强度间取得平衡。但传统控制依赖视觉系统,难以在复杂环境中应用。本文提出一种无需视觉的本体感知腱驱动折纸机械臂:利用导电纱线作为驱动肌腱,同时具备本体感知能力。肌腱主动长度变化导致其有效电阻改变,通过简单电路即可测量。我们建立了电阻变化与肌腱长度的映射关系,并输入至前向运动学模型,以重构机械臂构型及末端位置。该平台为连续折纸机械臂的闭环控制提供了基础,同时保持其固有柔韧性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Origami offers a versatile framework for designing morphable structures and soft robots by exploiting the geometry of folds. Tubular origami structures can act as continuum manipulators that balance flexibility and strength. However, precise control of such manipulators often requires reliance on vision-based systems that limit their application in complex and cluttered environments. Here, we propose a proprioceptive tendon-driven origami manipulator without compromising its flexibility. Using conductive threads as actuating tendons, we multiplex them with proprioceptive sensing capabilities. The change in the active length of the tendons is reflected in their effective resistance, which can be measured with a simple circuit. We correlated the change in the resistance to the lengths of the tendons. We input this information into a forward kinematic model to reconstruct the manipulator configuration and end-effector position. This platform provides a foundation for the closed-loop control of continuum origami manipulators while preserving their inherent flexibility.
