在复杂非线性力作用下,对驱动型软体结构进行高效优化仍是机器人领域的重要挑战。采用有限元法(FEM)建模的软体机器人仿真通常需要大量计算资源,尤其在优化过程中。为此,我们提出一种基于张量化参数化降维模型(PROM)的新优化算法。该方法利用降维与解逼近技术,有效求解非线性约束优化问题。其结构化的张量方法可在特定选择的降维基(ROB)中使用解析梯度,大幅提升计算效率。为验证方法性能,我们将其应用于软体机器人游泳器的形状优化。这些驱动型软体机器人受到水动力力的作用,经历内外部非线性力,通过无数据依赖的降维基实现快速准确计算。该方法不仅降低了计算复杂度,还为软体机器人中复杂非线性系统的优化设计开辟新路径,推动更高效的机器人设计与控制。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The efficient optimization of actuated soft structures, particularly under complex nonlinear forces, remains a critical challenge in advancing robotics. Simulations of nonlinear structures, such as soft-bodied robots modeled using the finite element method (FEM), often demand substantial computational resources, especially during optimization. To address this challenge, we propose a novel optimization algorithm based on a tensorial parametric reduced order model (PROM). Our algorithm leverages dimensionality reduction and solution approximation techniques to facilitate efficient solving of nonlinear constrained optimization problems. The well-structured tensorial approach enables the use of analytical gradients within a specifically chosen reduced order basis (ROB), significantly enhancing computational efficiency. To showcase the performance of our method, we apply it to optimizing soft robotic swimmer shapes. These actuated soft robots experience hydrodynamic forces, subjecting them to both internal and external nonlinear forces, which are incorporated into our optimization process using a data-free ROB for fast and accurate computations. This approach not only reduces computational complexity but also unlocks new opportunities to optimize complex nonlinear systems in soft robotics, paving the way for more efficient design and control.
