用压力感应实现仿鱼机器人编队,仅靠两个传感器就能稳定跟驰。

Leader-follower formation enabled by pressure sensing in free-swimming undulatory robotic fish

  • 通过双侧压力传感器感知水流变化,实现编队控制。
  • 在200毫米距离内以155毫米/秒速度稳定跟驰,仅需不到一小时训练数据。
  • 适合水下机器人自主导航与群体智能研究者参考。

鱼类依靠侧线感知水流和压力梯度,从而探测周围物体与生物。为模仿此能力,本文展示了基于流体压力传感的仿波浪运动机器人(μBot/MUBot)成功实现领导者-跟随者编队游动。跟随者μBot头部配备双侧压力传感器,可检测自身及领导者运动引发的压力信号。首先通过静态编队实验确定产生显著压力变化的最优间距,并以此作为自由游动时的理想编队形态,构建专家策略。随后采用长短期记忆神经网络作为控制策略,将压力信号、电机指令及惯性测量单元(IMU)获取的欧拉角映射为转向指令,通过行为克隆与数据聚合(DAgger)方法训练该策略。结果表明,仅使用两个双侧压力传感器且训练数据不足一小时,跟随者即可在200毫米(即1个体长)距离内,以155毫米/秒(即0.8个体长/秒)的速度有效跟踪领导者。本工作展示了仿生机器人通过流体压力反馈实现复杂环境导航与编队飞行的巨大潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fish use their lateral lines to sense flows and pressure gradients, enabling them to detect nearby objects and organisms. Towards replicating this capability, we demonstrated successful leader-follower formation swimming using flow pressure sensing in our undulatory robotic fish ($μ$Bot/MUBot). The follower $μ$Bot is equipped at its head with bilateral pressure sensors to detect signals excited by both its own and the leader's movements. First, using experiments with static formations between an undulating leader and a stationary follower, we determined the formation that resulted in strong pressure variations measured by the follower. This formation was then selected as the desired formation in free swimming for obtaining an expert policy. Next, a long short-term memory neural network was used as the control policy that maps the pressure signals along with the robot motor commands and the Euler angles (measured by the onboard IMU) to the steering command. The policy was trained to imitate the expert policy using behavior cloning and Dataset Aggregation (DAgger). The results show that with merely two bilateral pressure sensors and less than one hour of training data, the follower effectively tracked the leader within distances of up to 200 mm (= 1 body length) while swimming at speeds of 155 mm/s (= 0.8 body lengths/s). This work highlights the potential of fish-inspired robots to effectively navigate fluid environments and achieve formation swimming through the use of flow pressure feedback.
