- 适合复杂曲面无支撑打印,对工业级高自由度机器人实用性强。
冗余机器人多轴增材制造(MAAM)可实现无支撑、贴合式成形,但长时序路径在严格沉积位置约束与随时间变化的碰撞约束下仍面临轨迹优化挑战。本文提出一种面向碰撞感知的冗余机器人MAAM轨迹优化计算框架。首先通过相对雅可比建立喷头-工件相对运动学模型,并开发基于可微SDF的碰撞模型,捕捉制造过程中的几何演化并提供优化梯度。沉积位置通过迭代投影至自运动流形,以硬约束方式逐点强制满足,损失梯度限制于对应切空间。在8自由度机器人MAAM平台上对多种长时序无支撑、贴合型路径进行实验,结果表明:平均喷头位置误差低于10μm,最大关节加加速度降低77.6%,所有采样碰撞与姿态违规均被消除。相比SQP基线方法,本方法最快提速达10.2倍,收敛性更优。实物打印验证表明,所得平滑无碰撞轨迹可成功构建复杂几何体,沉积缺陷显著减少。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Redundant robotic multi-axis additive manufacturing (MAAM) enables support-free and conformal fabrication, but trajectory optimization for long-horizon paths remains challenging under strict deposition-position constraints and time-varying collision constraints. This work proposes a computational framework for collision-aware trajectory optimization in redundant robotic MAAM. We first formulate nozzle-workpiece relative kinematics using a relative Jacobian, and develop a differentiable SDF-based collision model that captures fabrication-induced geometry evolution and provides optimization gradients. The deposition position is then enforced as a hard waypoint-wise equality constraint through iterative projection onto the self-motion manifold, with the loss gradient restricted to the corresponding tangent space. Experiments on an 8-DOF robotic MAAM platform with diverse long-horizon support-free and conformal toolpaths show that our method maintains a mean nozzle-position error below 10μm, reduces maximum joint jerk by up to $77.6\%$, and eliminates all sampled collision and orientation violations. Compared with the SQP-based baseline, it achieves up to a 10.2x speedup and improved convergence. Physical fabrication experiments further verify that the resulting smooth, collision-free trajectories enable successful printing of complex geometries with fewer visible deposition artifacts.
