Disturbance Recognition and Collision Detection of Manipulator Based on Momentum Observer

Abstract

Increasing requirements for the safety of human-robot interaction and the cost-effectiveness of collision detection rapidly promote the development of collision detection technology without torque sensors. To address nonlinear disturbance factors in collision detection that may cause unstable or even incorrect detection, this paper proposed a research strategy that considered the friction as the disturbance term in manipulator motion for the collision detection. The manipulator joint disturbance model was established based on the LuGre dynamic friction model, and the external torque observer was designed based on the generalized momentum. Then, the friction measurement was realized using the external torque observer, and the model parameters were identified through the genetic algorithm. The collision detection can be reduced errors after the friction model by compensating the disturbance and can be applicable to variable working conditions. Finally, the accuracy of the constructed disturbance model and the performance of the proposed collision detection method were validated by the experimental studies.

A Persistent-Excitation-Free Method for System Disturbance Estimation Using Concurrent Learning

“…The parameter of the CL-based observer is set as κ = 100. The value of parameter can be referred to in [52] and is not listed here due to limited space. The initial conditions of the observer are set to zero values.…”

“…The hardware to run the simulation is a Thinkpad Laptop without graphic cards. The code of simulation is published in our Github repository [52].…”

“…We use the networked epidemic model in (23) to simulate the spreading of the disease. The parameters of the model, namely the adjacency matrix W , the initial infection probabilities x i (0), the ground truth of disturbance d i , and the baseline curing rate δi , i = 1, 2, • • • , n, can be found in our online repository [52] and are not enumerated due to the large scales. We assume the infection rates to be time-variant and sinusoidal as shown in Fig.…”

A Dual-Mode Flexible Sensor Based on the Combination of Triboelectric and Piezoresistive Sensing to Simultaneously Monitor Non-Contact/Contact Pressure

“…The rapid development of sensing technology provides important technical support for human beings to effectively monitor the surrounding physical space, greatly enhancing their ability to cope with various emergencies. Various types of sensors have shown great potential for development in the fields of industrial production, intelligent medical care, , human–computer interaction systems, − as well as physiological signal perception − and motion pattern recognition. − Capacitive and piezoresistive sensors are the most commonly used in flexible pressure sensors. Both types of sensors have their unique advantages.…”

Research on hybrid collision detection algorithm based on separation distance

“…In the field of robot application, collision detection is to detect whether there is a collision between the robot and the surrounding obstacles. At present, there are two types of collision detection algorithms, one is model-based geometric algorithm, the other is sensor-based collision detection method [1][2]. The collision detection method based on sensor can only detect the collision signal during the movement of the manipulator, and can't feed back the collision distance.…”
