摘要

考虑到人机交互的安全性,对机器人操作的固有顺应性的需求日益增长,特别是在医疗保健应用中,远程肌腱驱动机制引起了越来越多的关注,因为它们可以通过肌腱传输将电机与旋转关节分离,从而减少机器人关节的整体尺寸和重量。然而,肌腱预紧或机器人连杆上的任何外部载荷仍然是导致关节过度摩擦的主要原因,从而降低远程机械传动的整体效率。我们最近的工作提出了一种张力整体结构作为机器人关节驱动的肌腱驱动并联机构,其中关节处的旋转/滑动摩擦可以完全避免。这种张拉整体结构的刚度可以通过平行收紧预应力筋来控制。在此,我们打算将肌腱力/张力传感器和沿肌腱的原始轴向刚度调制器集成在一起,通过估计静平衡刚度的反馈模型来关闭刚度控制回路。提出了一种刚度控制器,该控制器可以在基于模型的刚度估计器和数据驱动补偿器的混合反馈模式下工作。所提出的控制框架在机器人辅助超声扫描中得到了验证。我们证明,即使使用沿张拉整体肌腱集成的简单或原始刚度调制器,也可以在综合动态干扰下稳定控制机器人关节刚度。提出的数据驱动刚度补偿器可以补偿张拉整体结构复杂静力平衡建模中的不确定性,保证高保真的刚度控制。

A Controllable-Stiffness Tensegrity Robot Joint for Robust Compliant Manipulation

A Controllable-Stiffness Tensegrity Robot Joint for Robust Compliant Manipulation

With concerns about safety in human–robot interactions, there is a growing demand for inherent compliance in robot manipulation, especially in healthcare applications, where remote tendon-driven mechanisms have drawn increasing attention, as they can reduce the overall robot joint size and weight by decoupling the motor from the rotary joint via tendon transmission. However, tendon preloading or any external load on the robot links would still be the predominant cause of excessive friction at the joint, deteriorating overall efficiency of the remote mechanical transmission. Our recent work proposed a tensegrity structure as a tendon-driven parallel mechanism for robot joint actuation, in which rotary/sliding friction at the joint can be totally avoided. The stiffness of such tensional integrity structure could be controlled by just tightening the tendons in parallel. Herein, we intend to integrate both tendon force/tension sensors and primitive axial stiffness modulators along the tendons, to close the stiffness control loop by a feedback model that estimates statics-equilibrium stiffness. A stiffness controller is also proposed, which can be operated in hybrid feedback modes involving a model-based stiffness estimator and a data-driven compensator. The proposed control framework is validated in particular for robot-assisted ultrasound scanning. We demonstrate that, even using simple or primitive stiffness modulators integrated along the tensegrity tendons, the robot joint stiffness can be controlled steadily under synthesized dynamic disturbances. The proposed data-driven stiffness compensator could compensate for uncertainty in modeling the complex statics equilibrium of our tensegrity structure, ensuring high-fidelity stiffness control.
