Description

一种基于柔性脊柱技术的仿生四足机器人A bionic quadruped robot based on flexible spine technology

技术领域technical field

本实用新型涉及机器人技术领域,具体涉及一种基于柔性脊柱技术的仿生四足机器人。The utility model relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a bionic quadruped robot based on flexible spine technology.

背景技术Background technique

足式机器人是目前机器人领域研究的热点,足式机器人主要分为双足机器人,四足机器人和多足机器人。其中以美国波士顿动力公司研发的系列机器狗代表着四足机器人的较高水平。但是目前四足机器人的研究主要集中于腿部运动及控制,绝大部分的四足机器人的躯干都是刚体结构。Footed robots are a hot research topic in the field of robotics at present. Footed robots are mainly divided into biped robots, quadruped robots and multi-legged robots. Among them, the series of robot dogs developed by Boston Dynamics in the United States represent the higher level of quadruped robots. However, the current research on quadruped robots mainly focuses on the motion and control of the legs, and the torso of most quadruped robots is a rigid body structure.

专利文献CN201711260907.1公开了“能适应复杂崎岖地形的高负载能力的电驱动四足机器人”其采用12个自由度的电机驱动的四足机器人结构形式,其躯干为三根金属杆和两块前后板梁装配固定的结构形式,是比较常见的全刚性躯干结构,其躯干灵活性较差。The patent document CN201711260907.1 discloses an "electrically driven quadruped robot with high load capacity that can adapt to complex and rugged terrain", which adopts a motor-driven quadruped robot structure with 12 degrees of freedom, and its torso is three metal rods and two front and rear The fixed structural form of the plate beam assembly is a relatively common fully rigid torso structure, and its torso flexibility is poor.

专利文献CN201810579078.1公开了“一种多自由度四足仿生机器人”,其躯干采用六自由度的并联机构和四个驱动器的躯干结构方案,躯干具有一定的柔性。但与动物只有一根柔性脊柱不同,这个专利有六根可伸缩及转动的并联机构交叉布置,结构体积较大,控制冗余且复杂,不适合于有高速奔跑需求的四足机器人。The patent document CN201810579078.1 discloses "a multi-degree-of-freedom quadruped bionic robot", the trunk of which adopts a six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism and a trunk structure scheme with four drivers, and the trunk has a certain flexibility. However, unlike animals that have only one flexible spine, this patent has six parallel mechanisms that can be retracted and rotated in a cross-arrangement. The structure is large, and the control is redundant and complex, and is not suitable for quadruped robots that require high-speed running.

目前绝大多数的四足机器人的躯干是刚体结构,要想提高四足机器人的奔跑速度就必须得提高机器人的电机转矩,但电机的转矩与电机的体积重量成正相关,在电机功率密度无法大幅提高的情况下,四足机器人的奔跑速度的提高很难实现。同时,刚体躯干的四足机器人转向不够灵活,环境适应能力不强,在崎岖不平的路面上行走或奔跑容易失稳,摔倒。而且刚性躯干的四足机器人能量利用率相对较低,对于需要携带锂电池的四足机器人来说,能量利用效率越高越好。At present, the torso of most quadruped robots is a rigid body structure. In order to improve the running speed of the quadruped robot, the motor torque of the robot must be increased. However, the motor torque is positively related to the volume weight of the motor. It is difficult to improve the running speed of a quadruped robot if it cannot be greatly improved. At the same time, the quadruped robot with rigid body is not flexible enough to turn and adapt to the environment, so it is easy to lose stability and fall when walking or running on rough roads. Moreover, the energy utilization rate of quadruped robots with rigid torso is relatively low. For quadruped robots that need to carry lithium batteries, the higher the energy utilization efficiency, the better.

具体地,该生成下一时刻机器人的步态规划主要通过位置控制和力矩控制实现。Specifically, the generation of the robot's gait plan at the next moment is mainly realized through position control and torque control.

位置控制模式的具体原理如下:The specific principle of the position control mode is as follows:

通过在四足机器人的控制箱内壁装配有一个电子陀螺仪成为基点陀螺仪(即是安装在柔性脊柱4的首端的电子陀螺仪),在柔性脊柱4的中间位置、尾端处各装配一个电子陀螺仪,可以通过这三个陀螺仪的位姿数据推算得到柔性脊柱4首尾两端的位姿状态,然后通过获取髋关节及膝关节三个电机的旋转编码器数据即可推算得到前后腿足端的空间位置,为仿生四足机器人的位置控制模式提供准确、及时的空间位置反馈信息。By assembling an electronic gyroscope on the inner wall of the control box of the quadruped robot to become the base point gyroscope (that is, the electronic gyroscope installed at the head end of the flexible spine 4), an electronic gyroscope is installed at the middle position and the tail end of the flexible spine 4. The gyroscope can be used to calculate the posture state of the flexible spine 4 at the head and tail ends through the posture data of the three gyroscopes. Then, by obtaining the rotary encoder data of the three motors of the hip joint and the knee joint, it can be calculated to obtain the foot end of the front and rear legs. The spatial position provides accurate and timely spatial position feedback information for the position control mode of the bionic quadruped robot.

力矩控制模式的具体原理如下:The specific principle of torque control mode is as follows:

通过在柔性脊柱4的首尾两端各装配一个微型力矩传感器46,在四条腿的足端各装配一个微型力矩传感器46。在每个腿着地时刻,前后腿足端的所受力矩与柔性脊柱4首尾两端力矩的矢量差即为髋关节和膝关节必须提供的最小力矩。可根据跃奔步态的仿真模拟确定柔性脊柱4与四足耦合运动的动力学模型以确定腿部电机的力矩输出,得到最好的力矩控制效果。A miniature torque sensor 46 is installed at each end of the flexible spine 4, and a miniature torque sensor 46 is installed at each of the foot ends of the four legs. At the moment when each leg touches the ground, the vector difference between the moment received at the foot end of the front and rear legs and the moment at both ends of the flexible spine 4 is the minimum moment that must be provided by the hip joint and the knee joint. The dynamic model of the coupling motion of the flexible spine 4 and the quadrupeds can be determined according to the simulation simulation of the jumping gait to determine the torque output of the leg motor, so as to obtain the best torque control effect.

具体地,当仿生四足机器人在跃奔步态时,两条前腿的运动状态保持一致,两条后腿的运动状态保持一致,以下状态均为本申请的仿生四足机器人奔跑时候的动作状态:Specifically, when the bionic quadruped robot is in the leaping gait, the motion states of the two front legs are consistent, and the motion states of the two rear legs are consistent, and the following states are the actions of the bionic quadruped robot of the present application when running state:

When the compression spring 48 is in a compressed state, and the upper wire rope 47 relaxes and the compression spring 48 is in a tension state, the flexible spine 4 is in a convex state with high middle and low ends, and the flexible spine 4 is full of elastic potential energy.

状态2:当仿生四足机器人后腿着地时刻,后腿伺服电机给后腿一个蹬地力矩,同时柔性脊柱4下端钢丝绳47控制电机松开钢丝绳47,上端钢丝绳47控制电机收紧钢丝绳47,柔性脊柱4由中间高两端低的凸状态逐渐恢复到正常的长直装态,柔性脊柱4的弹性势能转换成前腿在空中往前迈步的动能,使仿生机器人跳的更高,往前迈步的步距更大。State 2: When the hind leg of the bionic quadruped robot touches the ground, the servo motor of the hind leg gives the hind leg a grounding torque, and the wire rope 47 at the lower end of the flexible spine 4 controls the motor to loosen the wire rope 47, and the wire rope 47 at the upper end controls the motor to tighten the wire rope 47. The spine 4 gradually returns to the normal long straight state from the convex state of the middle high and the low ends. The elastic potential energy of the flexible spine 4 is converted into the kinetic energy of the front legs stepping forward in the air, so that the bionic robot can jump higher and step forward. The step distance is larger.

状态3:当仿生四足机器人的前腿将要着地时,如图12所示,前腿往前伸展,试图迈出更大的步距,后腿继续往后摆动。柔性脊柱4上端钢丝绳47收紧压簧48处于压缩状态,下端的钢丝绳47放松压簧48处于拉升状态,柔性脊柱4从长直状态变成中间低两端高的凹状态,柔性脊柱4内继续充满弹性势能。State 3: When the front legs of the bionic quadruped robot are about to touch the ground, as shown in Figure 12, the front legs stretch forward, trying to take a larger step, and the rear legs continue to swing back. The wire rope 47 at the upper end of the flexible spine 4 tightens the compression spring 48 and is in a compressed state, and the wire rope 47 at the lower end relaxes the compression spring 48 and is in a pulled state. Continue to be full of elastic potential energy.

状态4:当仿生四足机器人前腿着地时刻,前腿电机给前腿一个蹬地力矩,同时柔性脊柱4上端钢丝绳47控制电机松开钢丝绳47,下端钢丝绳47控制电机收紧钢丝绳47,柔性脊柱4由中间低两端高的凹状态逐渐恢复到正常的长直装态,柔性脊柱4的弹性势能转换成前后腿从躯干两端伸展状态往躯干中心收拢运动的动能。State 4: When the front leg of the bionic quadruped robot touches the ground, the front leg motor gives the front leg a grounding torque, while the upper wire rope 47 of the flexible spine 4 controls the motor to loosen the wire rope 47, and the lower wire rope 47 controls the motor to tighten the wire rope 47, and the flexible spine 4 4.

当前腿再次离地时,回到已经描述的状态1过程,循环往复,即为基于柔性脊柱技术仿生四足机器人的跃奔步态。在整个仿生四足机器人落地、蹬地的奔跑过程中,柔性脊柱4内的弹性势能与四足机器人的动能不断转换,且在柔性脊柱4的弯曲状态不断变化过程中,四足机器人的重心变化曲线更为平滑,优化前后腿着地角度,减小足端冲击力及能量损失,优化四足机器人在高速奔跑时的运动稳定性,增大机器人奔跑步距及蹬腿弹跳高度,有效提高仿生四足机器人的奔跑速度。When the front leg lifts off the ground again, it returns to the described state 1 process, and the cycle repeats, which is the leaping gait of the bionic quadruped robot based on the flexible spine technology. During the entire running process of the bionic quadruped robot landing and kicking the ground, the elastic potential energy in the flexible spine 4 and the kinetic energy of the quadruped robot are continuously converted, and during the continuous change of the bending state of the flexible spine 4, the center of gravity of the quadruped robot changes.
