基于工具的舀取在机器人辅助任务中至关重要,可与不同尺寸、形状和材料状态的物体交互。近期研究表明,柔性可重构的软体机器人末端执行器能通过自适应形变保持与容器表面的稳定接触,相比刚性工具显著提升效率。这类软体工具可在不依赖复杂传感或控制的前提下,适应不同容器尺寸与材质。然而,软体机器人固有的柔性和复杂的变形行为带来了显著的控制挑战,限制了实际应用。为此,本文提出一种基于物理的可变形软锥形机器人手仿真模型,准确捕捉其被动重构动力学,并支持舀取轨迹的系统性优化。我们设计了一种新型物理驱动仿真方法,精确建模软体工具从平面片材到自适应锥形结构的形态演化过程,结合进化策略框架,实现舀取轨迹的自动优化,无需手动调参。通过仿真与真实机器人实验验证,优化轨迹展现出强大的泛化能力,成功完成多项以往方法难以应对的挑战性任务。实验视频详见:https://sites.google.com/view/scoopsh
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Tool-based scooping is vital in robot-assisted tasks, enabling interaction with objects of varying sizes, shapes, and material states. Recent studies have shown that flexible, reconfigurable soft robotic end-effectors can adapt their shape to maintain consistent contact with container surfaces during scooping, improving efficiency compared to rigid tools. These soft tools can adjust to varying container sizes and materials without requiring complex sensing or control. However, the inherent compliance and complex deformation behavior of soft robotics introduce significant control complexity that limits practical applications. To address this challenge, this paper presents the development of a physics-based simulation model of a deformable soft conical robotic hand that captures its passive reconfiguration dynamics and enables systematic trajectory optimization for scooping tasks. We propose a novel physics-based simulation approach that accurately models the soft tool's morphing behavior from flat sheets to adaptive conical structures, combined with an evolutionary strategy framework that automatically optimizes scooping trajectories without manual parameter tuning. We validate the optimized trajectories through both simulation and real-robot experiments. The results demonstrate strong generalization and successfully address a range of challenging tasks previously beyond the reach of existing approaches.
