腱驱动连续体机器人因运动冗余和结构柔性,具备固有安全性和丰富的接触交互能力。但其感知通常依赖外部传感器,增加硬件复杂度且难以扩展。本文提出一种统一的多动力学建模框架,以螺旋仿生机器人Spirob为例,将电机电气动力学、电机-卷筒动力学与连续体机器人动力学整合为统一系统模型。通过建模电机电流与角位移等信号,揭示外部交互的机电特征,实现基于内在动力学的感知。模型捕捉并验证了实际系统的关键物理行为,包括驱动滞后和运动极限下的自接触现象。在此基础上,框架被应用于环境交互:首先实现被动接触检测,实验验证与仿真数据一致;其次实现主动接触感知,仿真中的控制与感知策略成功迁移至真实机器人;最后实现物体尺寸估计,仿真中学习的策略直接部署于硬件。结果表明,该框架为腱驱动连续体机器人提供了基于物理规律的内在信号交互解析方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Tendon-driven continuum robots offer intrinsically safe and contact-rich interactions owing to their kinematic redundancy and structural compliance. However, their perception often depends on external sensors, which increase hardware complexity and limit scalability. This work introduces a unified multi-dynamics modeling framework for tendon-driven continuum robotic systems, exemplified by a spiral-inspired robot named Spirob. The framework integrates motor electrical dynamics, motor-winch dynamics, and continuum robot dynamics into a coherent system model. Within this framework, motor signals such as current and angular displacement are modeled to expose the electromechanical signatures of external interactions, enabling perception grounded in intrinsic dynamics. The model captures and validates key physical behaviors of the real system, including actuation hysteresis and self-contact at motion limits. Building on this foundation, the framework is applied to environmental interaction: first for passive contact detection, verified experimentally against simulation data; then for active contact sensing, where control and perception strategies from simulation are successfully applied to the real robot; and finally for object size estimation, where a policy learned in simulation is directly deployed on hardware. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework provides a physically grounded way to interpret interaction signatures from intrinsic motor signals in tendon-driven continuum robots.
