  • 适合需要高精度建模的软体机器人控制与设计场景。

软体机器人因其固有的柔顺性和连续体结构,在承受重力和载荷等外部力时面临独特的建模挑战。本文提出一种基于欧拉螺旋启发的形状表征的数据驱动建模框架,用于准确描述纤维增强气动弯曲执行器的复杂形变。在此基础上,构建了神经网络驱动的前向与逆向模型,有效捕捉其非线性行为。前向模型能根据压力和载荷输入精确预测执行器形变,逆向模型则可从观测到的形状和已知压力可靠估计载荷。实验验证表明,融合欧拉螺旋的前向模型在三分之一、三分之二及尖端位置的平均位置预测误差分别为3.38%、2.19%和1.93%(以执行器长度为基准);逆向模型在测试范围内平均载荷估计误差低至0.72%。结果表明该方法显著提升了软体机器人建模的精度与预测能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Soft robots, distinguished by their inherent compliance and continuum structures, present unique modeling challenges, especially when subjected to significant external loads such as gravity and payloads. In this study, we introduce an innovative data-driven modeling framework leveraging an Euler spiral-inspired shape representations to accurately describe the complex shapes of soft continuum actuators. Based on this representation, we develop neural network-based forward and inverse models to effectively capture the nonlinear behavior of a fiber-reinforced pneumatic bending actuator. Our forward model accurately predicts the actuator's deformation given inputs of pressure and payload, while the inverse model reliably estimates payloads from observed actuator shapes and known pressure inputs. Comprehensive experimental validation demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of our proposed approach. Notably, the augmented Euler spiral-based forward model achieves low average positional prediction errors of 3.38%, 2.19%, and 1.93% of the actuator length at the one-third, two-thirds, and tip positions, respectively. Furthermore, the inverse model demonstrates precision of estimating payloads with an average error as low as 0.72% across the tested range. These results underscore the potential of our method to significantly enhance the accuracy and predictive capabilities of modeling frameworks for soft robotic systems.
