Abstract

A Concentric Tube Robot Control Method Based on Actor‑Critic Deep Reinforcement Learning. The present invention comprises the following steps: 1) setting the geometric parameters and mechanical parameters of the concentric tube robot, and establishing its kinematics model; 2) data preprocessing, obtaining the concentric tube curvature-position state set; 3) utilizing the concentric tube curvature-position state set , to update the parameters of the Actor-Critic network and the Critic network; 4) According to the final convergence model, the optimal control strategy of the concentric tube robot based on Actor-Critic deep reinforcement learning can be obtained, that is, the required driving force. Compared with the prior art, the present invention obtains the inverse kinematics calculation method of the concentric tube robot through the method of deep reinforcement learning, and finally obtains a more accurate inverse kinematics solution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of concentric tube surgical robots, in particular to a control method for concentric tube robots based on Actor-Critic deep reinforcement learning Background technique [0002] At present, with the improvement of social medical level, surgical robots with high precision and high stability are gradually involved in medicine. Compared with the manipulator with rigid joints, a concentric tube robot that can flexibly bend and reach the target position along a predetermined nonlinear path has attracted widespread attention. [0003] The concentric tube robot is nested by multiple pre-bent superelastic nickel-titanium alloy tubes, and the attitude of the robot can be changed by the rotation and expansion of the driven end tubes. The concentric tube establishes the static equilibrium equation based on the classical elastic rod model to solve the calculation of the forward kinematics, and has been able to consider friction a...
