- 基于球坐标系建模,用方位角作为关键特征指导双臂协同动作
- 通过高斯混合模型学习多姿态下的穿衣轨迹,适应不同人体姿势
- 验证了在紧身衣穿脱中显著优于单臂方案,适合残障人士辅助穿戴
机器人辅助穿脱衣物是机器人操作领域的重要课题,对改善行动障碍者生活质量具有重要意义。当前研究多聚焦于宽松衣物,而对紧身衣物的处理仍缺乏有效方法。由于紧身衣物袖口较小且随拉伸变软,单臂操作常因袖口卡住而失败。本文提出一种适用于紧身衣物的双臂协作穿脱策略。为适应不同人体手臂姿态,建立了一种用于穿脱任务的球坐标系,并以球坐标中的方位角作为任务相关特征。基于此坐标系,采用高斯混合模型(GMM)与高斯混合回归(GMR)进行模仿学习,生成可适应多种人体姿态的双臂穿脱轨迹。实验验证了该方法在不同类型紧身衣物穿脱中的有效性,显著提升了成功率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robot-assisted dressing is a popular but challenging topic in the field of robotic manipulation, offering significant potential to improve the quality of life for individuals with mobility limitations. Currently, the majority of research on robot-assisted dressing focuses on how to put on loose-fitting clothing, with little attention paid to tight garments. For the former, since the armscye is larger, a single robotic arm can usually complete the dressing task successfully. However, for the latter, dressing with a single robotic arm often fails due to the narrower armscye and the property of diminishing rigidity in the armscye, which eventually causes the armscye to get stuck. This paper proposes a bimanual dressing strategy suitable for dressing tight-fitting clothing. To facilitate the encoding of dressing trajectories that adapt to different human arm postures, a spherical coordinate system for dressing is established. We uses the azimuthal angle of the spherical coordinate system as a task-relevant feature for bimanual manipulation. Based on this new coordinate, we employ Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) for imitation learning of bimanual dressing trajectories, generating dressing strategies that adapt to different human arm postures. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through various experiments.
