用神经网络优化软夹指结构,平衡抓握力度与精细操作性能。

Multi-Objective Neural Network-Assisted Design Optimization of Soft Fin-Ray Fingers for Enhanced Grasping Performance

  • 构建MLP模型预测夹指在不同设计下的受力与变形。
  • 通过NSGA-II算法找到最优解集,实现高力与精细操控的权衡。
  • 适合需要兼顾抓取强度与柔性的机器人夹爪设计者。

Fin-Ray夹指的内部结构对其适应性和抓握性能有重要影响。然而,为设计目的建模其抓握力和变形行为极具挑战性。当夹指更刚硬以产生更大作用力时,其对物体的处理能力会下降。这种矛盾构成了多目标优化问题。本文采用有限元法模拟夹指抓握圆柱体时的变形与接触力,生成包含120组仿真的数据集。该数据集包含三个设计变量:前部梁、支撑梁和横梁的厚度,以及横梁间的等距间距。基于此数据集,构建一个含四个输出神经元的多层感知机(MLP),用于预测接触力及两个方向的尖端位移。最大接触力与最大尖端位移作为优化目标,体现力与精细操作之间的权衡。利用非支配排序遗传算法(NSGA-II)求解最优解集。仿真结果表明,该方法可有效提升软夹爪的设计与抓握性能,帮助选择适用于精细抓取或高力应用的最优结构。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The internal structure of the Fin-Ray fingers plays a significant role in their adaptability and grasping performance. However, modeling the grasp force and deformation behavior for design purposes is challenging. When the Fin-Ray finger becomes more rigid and capable of exerting higher forces, it becomes less delicate in handling objects. The contrast between these two gives rise to a multi-objective optimization problem. We employ the finite element method to estimate the deflections and contact forces of the Fin-Ray fingers grasping cylindrical objects, generating a dataset of 120 simulations. This dataset includes three input variables: the thickness of the front and support beams, the thickness of the crossbeams, and the equal spacing between the crossbeams, which are the design variables in the optimization. This dataset is then used to construct a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with four output neurons predicting the contact force and tip displacement in two directions. The magnitudes of maximum contact force and maximum tip displacement are two optimization objectives, showing the trade-off between force and delicate manipulation. The set of solutions is found using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The results of the simulations demonstrate that the proposed methodology can be used to improve the design and grasping performance of soft grippers, aiding to choose a design not only for delicate grasping but also for high-force applications.
