用三重感知方案提升机器人近场避障能力,兼顾精度与实时性。
Near-Field Perception for Safety Enhancement of Autonomous Mobile Robots in Manufacturing Environments
- 激光条纹中断检测实现快速障碍物有无判断
- 通过条纹位移计算物体高度,低算力下完成定量测量
- 嵌入式视觉模型支持语义识别,适合工厂场景安全决策
在制造环境中,自主移动机器人(AMR)的安全运行依赖于近场感知。传统测距传感器如激光雷达和超声波设备虽能提供广域态势感知,但常无法探测机器人底部附近的细小物体。为此,本文提出一种三层近场感知框架:第一种方法采用光断续检测,将激光条纹投射至近场区域,通过识别条纹中断实现快速、二值化的障碍物存在判断;第二种方法利用光位移测量,通过分析相机图像中投影条纹的几何偏移,以极低计算开销估算物体高度;第三种方法在嵌入式AI硬件上部署计算机视觉模型进行物体分类,实现语义感知与上下文感知的安全决策。所有方法均在Raspberry Pi 5系统上实现,达到25或50帧/秒的实时性能。实验评估与对比分析表明,该层级结构在精度、计算量与成本间取得良好平衡,为制造环境中的AMR安全运行提供了可扩展的感知解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Near-field perception is essential for the safe operation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in manufacturing environments. Conventional ranging sensors such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and ultrasonic devices provide broad situational awareness but often fail to detect small objects near the robot base. To address this limitation, this paper presents a three-tier near-field perception framework. The first approach employs light-discontinuity detection, which projects a laser stripe across the near-field zone and identifies interruptions in the stripe to perform fast, binary cutoff sensing for obstacle presence. The second approach utilizes light-displacement measurement to estimate object height by analyzing the geometric displacement of a projected stripe in the camera image, which provides quantitative obstacle height information with minimal computational overhead. The third approach employs a computer vision-based object detection model on embedded AI hardware to classify objects, enabling semantic perception and context-aware safety decisions. All methods are implemented on a Raspberry Pi 5 system, achieving real-time performance at 25 or 50 frames per second. Experimental evaluation and comparative analysis demonstrate that the proposed hierarchy balances precision, computation, and cost, thereby providing a scalable perception solution for enabling safe operations of AMRs in manufacturing environments.
