用强化学习实现大型物料搬运的全流程自动化,提升效率与安全性。

Large Scale Robotic Material Handling: Learning, Planning, and Control

  • 通过强化学习选择最佳抓取点,减少挖掘次数
  • 设计动态抛掷控制器,利用吊臂自由摆动精准卸料
  • 首次在40吨级设备上实现全流程自动搬运

大宗物料搬运涉及大量材料的高效精准移动,是港口卸货、垃圾分拣、建筑拆除等行业的核心作业。这些重复性强、劳动密集且安全要求高的任务通常由配备欠驱动夹具的大型液压搬运设备完成。本文提出一个完整的自主执行框架,集成环境感知、堆体攻击点选择、路径规划和运动控制模块。主要贡献为两个基于强化学习的模块:一是攻击点规划器,用于选择最优抓取位置以最大化移除效率并最小化铲斗次数;二是鲁棒轨迹跟踪控制器,解决欠驱动夹具在运动中的精度与安全挑战,同时利用其自由摆动特性实现动态抛掷卸料。在40吨级搬运设备上于典型工地进行真实场景验证,聚焦高吞吐量堆体管理和高精度装车任务。与人工操作对比,系统在精度、重复性和操作安全性方面表现优异。据我们所知,这是首个在全尺寸设备上实现物料搬运全流程自动化的系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Bulk material handling involves the efficient and precise moving of large quantities of materials, a core operation in many industries, including cargo ship unloading, waste sorting, construction, and demolition. These repetitive, labor-intensive, and safety-critical operations are typically performed using large hydraulic material handlers equipped with underactuated grippers. In this work, we present a comprehensive framework for the autonomous execution of large-scale material handling tasks. The system integrates specialized modules for environment perception, pile attack point selection, path planning, and motion control. The main contributions of this work are two reinforcement learning-based modules: an attack point planner that selects optimal grasping locations on the material pile to maximize removal efficiency and minimize the number of scoops, and a robust trajectory following controller that addresses the precision and safety challenges associated with underactuated grippers in movement, while utilizing their free-swinging nature to release material through dynamic throwing. We validate our framework through real-world experiments on a 40 t material handler in a representative worksite, focusing on two key tasks: high-throughput bulk pile management and high-precision truck loading. Comparative evaluations against human operators demonstrate the system's effectiveness in terms of precision, repeatability, and operational safety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first complete automation of material handling tasks on a full scale.
