This invention discloses a musculoskeletal
robot control method for table tennis rallies. The method includes: at the beginning of each
stroke cycle, using a trajectory planner based on a
physics model to predict the trajectory of the table
tennis ball, and calculating the expected hitting position, hitting time, hitting speed, and hitting direction of the racket held by the musculoskeletal
robot based on a preset hitting plane and target
landing point, forming a high-level control command; inputting the high-level control command and the current environmental observation state into a pre-trained
reinforcement learning policy network, outputting the target joint position of the musculoskeletal
robot; and using an adaptive controller based on
forward kinematics to map the target joint position to the activation signals of each
muscle, driving the musculoskeletal robot to perform actions. This invention solves the control problem of high-dimensional musculoskeletal systems in complex dynamic tasks through a hierarchical architecture, achieving continuous table tennis rallies with high success rate and low
muscle metabolic cost.
