Intention assimilation control for accurate tracking with variable impedance in teleoperation

- 基于意图估计替代位置传递,动态调节阻抗。
- 在多种任务中追踪精度提升,完成率更高,耗时更短。
- 适合需要精细控制与安全交互的远程操作场景。
远距离操作中的机器人系统通常采用弹簧式力将从动机械臂拉向主控端位置以实现轨迹跟踪。然而,当从动端刚度较低时,跟踪精度下降;而高刚度则可能对环境中的物体或人员造成危险。为解决这一权衡,本文提出一种新的意图同化控制(IAC)策略,可在无需高刚度的情况下保证跟踪精度。不同于传统方法直接传递主控端当前位置,该控制器估计主控端目标位置并传送给从动端。由此,从动端阻抗可实时调整,既反映用户意图,也可自动适应任务需求。在两台7自由度机械臂上验证,IAC在不同阻抗条件下均实现高精度跟踪。四组实验对比了自由追踪、气球交互、插销操作及带力反馈的抛光任务,结果表明:与遥阻抗控制(TIC)相比,IAC显著提升追踪精度,改善任务完成率,缩短完成时间。该方法使机器人能精准复现用户动作,同时允许用户根据意图灵活调节阻抗,在单向与双向远距操作中实现前所未有的位置与阻抗协同控制。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robot systems for teleoperation commonly use a spring-like force pulling the follower robot towards the leader's position to track their movements. With this control strategy, the tracking accuracy deteriorates when the follower' stiffness is low, but high stiffness poses a danger to objects or people in the follower robot's environment. To address this trade-off between tracking accuracy and safety, we propose an alternative intention assimilation control (IAC) strategy where the robot's tracking accuracy can be ensured without high stiffness. Different from traditional approaches, which transmit the leader's current position to the follower, this new controller estimates the leader's target position and transmits it to the follower. With this strategy, the follower impedance can be changed on-the-fly to continuously reflect the user's desired impedance or modulated automatically to fulfill the task requirements. Our controller was validated on two 7 degree-of-freedom manipulators, yielding high tracking accuracy with varying impedance. Four experiments were conducted to compare {teleoperation} with IAC to tele-impedance control (TIC) during free tracking, interaction with a balloon, during peg insertion, and table polishing with force feedback. The results show that IAC increases tracking accuracy, improves task completion rate and reduces completion time. IAC enables the robot to accurately replicate the user's movement while giving them freedom to modulate the impedance according to their intention, providing an unprecedented level of control of the follower's position and its impedance during unilateral and bilateral teleoperation.
