用人体加速度预测最小安全距离,让机器人协作更安全高效
Embedding ISO 10218 Safety Compliance in Robots via Control Barrier Functions for Human-Robot Collaboration

- 基于人体加速度构建预测型控制屏障函数
- 实测轨迹误差降低63%,避免过度避让动作
- 适合工业协作机器人实时安全控制场景
人机协作(HRC)需严格遵守安全标准如ISO 10218,以防止有害交互。传统速度与分离监控(SSM)滤波器依赖恒定人体速度等保守假设,难以准确预测最小安全距离,导致不必要的停机。本文提出一种控制屏障函数(CBF),显式引入人体加速度数据,对最坏情况下机器人停止轨迹的最小人机距离进行解析前向预测。为在控制层面保障安全,该预测性CBF被作为不等式约束集成进序列二次规划(SQP)框架中。提出两种方法:方法一为带CBF约束的PD安全滤波器;方法二为任务缩放型SQP控制器,强制执行空间管约束。在UR10e机器人上进行的仿真与真实实验表明,方法二能动态调节执行速度并限制空间偏差。相比方法一,方法二实现均值轨迹误差降低63%,避免过度规避动作,在符合ISO 10218 SSM规范的同时保证高任务吞吐量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) requires strict adherence to safety standards, such as ISO 10218, to prevent harmful interactions. Standard Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) filters calculate safe robotic speeds based on conservative assumptions, such as constant human velocity, which prevents accurate predictions of minimum separation distances and causes unnecessary operational halts. This paper proposes a Control Barrier Function (CBF) that explicitly incorporates human acceleration data to analytically forward-predict the minimum human-robot separation distance during a worst-case robotic stopping trajectory. To guarantee safety at the control level, this predictive CBF is integrated as an inequality constraint within a Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) framework. Specifically, two methods are proposed: Method I, a CBF-constrained PD safety filter; and Method II, a task-scaling SQP controller that enforces a spatial tube constraint. Simulated and real-world experiments on a UR10e robot evaluate the two proposed methods against a standard industrial SSM module baseline. Results demonstrate that Method II dynamically modulates execution speed and confines spatial deviations. Compared to Method I, Method II achieves a 63\% reduction in mean trajectory error and avoids excessive evasive manoeuvres, ensuring high task throughput while complying with ISO 10218 SSM guidelines.
