在轨大型空间结构的双臂协同装配中,受闭环约束影响,紧耦合双臂空间机械手的运动规划是基础且极具挑战性的问题。闭环约束大幅压缩可行构型空间,使现有规划器难以高效生成无碰撞运动,尤其在复杂环境。本文提出一种任务空间约束的双向快速探索随机树算法(TCBiRRT)。该方法不依赖高维配置空间,而是直接在由操作对象位姿定义的任务空间中进行随机采样与节点扩展。设计任务空间节点扩展策略生成候选物体运动,并通过路径逆运动学算法映射为连续关节轨迹。结合双向RRT框架与再抓取机制,高效连接两棵随机树。在多种典型在轨装配场景下开展大量仿真,结果表明TCBiRRT相较最先进规划器,在成功率上显著提升,规划时间实现数量级优化。该方法为紧耦合双臂空间机械手运动规划提供了高效、鲁棒的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Planning the motion path for a tightly coupled dual-arm space manipulator under closed-chain constraints is a fundamental yet challenging problem in on-orbit assembly of large-scale space structures. The closed-chain constraints significantly reduce the feasible configuration space, making it difficult for existing planners to efficiently generate collision-free motions, especially in cluttered environments. To address this issue, this paper proposes a task-space constrained bidirectional rapidly-exploring random tree algorithm, termed TCBiRRT. Unlike conventional methods that operate in the high-dimensional configuration space, the proposed approach performs random sampling and node expansion directly in the task space defined by the manipulated object pose. A task-space node expansion strategy is developed to generate candidate object motions, which are then mapped to continuous joint paths using a path inverse kinematics algorithm. The method is further integrated with a bidirectional RRT framework and a regrasp mechanism to efficiently connect two random trees. Extensive simulations are conducted in representative on-orbit assembly scenarios with varying levels of environmental complexity. The results demonstrate that TCBiRRT achieves significantly higher success rates and orders-of-magnitude improvements in planning time compared to state-of-the-art planners. The proposed method provides an efficient and robust solution for motion planning of tightly coupled dual-arm space manipulators.
