Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wheelchair auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a wheelchair humanoid robot based on humanoid robot arm control. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current auxiliary mobile products (including manual and electric wheelchairs) have the following disadvantages in control mode and flexibility:

[0003] 1. Single control mode and limited degrees of freedom. Traditional electric wheelchairs mostly use joysticks, buttons, voice or mobile phone App control, only support forward and backward movement and left and right turning, and usually only have two degrees of freedom (movement + turning). In actual application, this low degree of freedom control mode is difficult to meet the needs of flexible obstacle avoidance and precise positioning in narrow spaces (such as home kitchen, bathroom, corridor).

[0004] 2. Lack of natural human-computer interaction means. The existing wheelchair control mode lacks intuitive connection with the user's natural body language (such as arm movement), has high learning cost, and is not friendly to users with declining cognitive ability or speech disorders. Highly dependent on specific input devices such as joysticks and switches, which limits the universality and accessibility of the wheelchair.

[0005] 3. Cannot be integrated with service robot functions. Although there are some humanoid service robots and intelligent wheelchair products on the market, these two types of devices are mostly functionally fragmented: humanoid robots do not have mobile carrying functions; wheelchairs do not have human-like operation capabilities. There is a lack of a system design that integrates both, i.e. having both humanoid operation capabilities and wheelchair chassis control functions.

[0006] 4. Not conducive to future collaborative environment expansion. In the future intelligent home, Internet of Things or intelligent collaborative environment, traditional wheelchairs are difficult to highly cooperate with external systems. The control system lacks expandability and is difficult to link with natural interaction methods such as visual recognition and gesture interaction.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the wheelchair-shaped humanoid robot of this embodiment includes an integrated chassis 100, a robot torso 200, two seven-axis robotic arms 300, a power module 400, a control computing unit, and a communication module.

[0043] The integrated chassis 100 includes four Mecanum wheels 110, each of which is directly and independently driven by a corresponding motor. The Mecanum wheels 110 can generate a resultant force vector in any required direction without changing their own orientation, so that the four Mecanum wheels 110 can move the integrated chassis 100 in any direction by combined motion, including X-direction translation (left-right movement), Y-direction translation (forward-backward movement), and rotation around the Z axis (turning left and right in place), etc. The four Mecanum wheels 110 are arranged at the four corners of the integrated chassis 100, and the axis of each Mecanum wheel 110 is directed toward the center of the chassis. The Mecanum wheels 110 at adjacent corners are arranged at an angle of 90° with respect to each other, thereby allowing the wheelchair-shaped robot to make fine movements in any direction in a small space, significantly improving the flexibility of home operation. In other embodiments, the four corners of the integrated chassis 100 can also be provided with four independently driven omnidirectional wheels instead of the Mecanum wheels 110. Each omnidirectional wheel can independently roll in any direction, and the four omnidirectional wheels can cooperate to enable the wheelchair-shaped robot to make fine movements in any direction in a small space.

[0044] The robot trunk 200 is arranged on the integrated chassis 100, and the inside of the robot trunk 200 can be used to arrange components such as a control computing unit and a communication module. The power module 400 is also arranged on the integrated chassis 100, and is used to supply power to the wheelchair humanoid robot. The seat back 210 and the seat cushion 220, which function as a wheelchair seat, are respectively fixedly connected with the robot trunk 200, and the footboard 120 is fixedly connected with the integrated chassis 100. Two seven-axis mechanical arms 300 are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the shoulder of the robot trunk 200, and the initial ends of the two seven-axis mechanical arms 300 are fixedly connected with the robot trunk 200. Each seven-axis mechanical arm 300 includes three shoulder joints 310 / 320 / 330, an elbow joint 340, three end joints 350 / 360 / 370, and an operating end 372, which are sequentially connected. The axes 311 / 321 / 331 of the three shoulder joints 310 / 320 / 330 are copointed, and the axes 351 / 361 / 371 of the three end joints 350 / 360 / 370 are copointed. The axes of each two adjacent joints are perpendicular to each other. The connecting part between the shoulder joint 330 and the elbow joint 340 is the upper arm connecting part 332 of the seven-axis mechanical arm 300, and the axis 331 of the upper arm connecting part 332 and the shoulder joint 330 is parallel to the direction. The connecting part between the end joint 350 and the end joint 360 is the lower arm connecting part 352 of the seven-axis mechanical arm 300, and the axis 351 of the lower arm connecting part 352 and the end joint 350 is parallel to the direction. The shoulder joints 310 / 320 / 330 are used to adjust and control the orientation of the whole mechanical arm, the elbow joint 340 is used to control the included angle between the upper arm connecting part 332 and the lower arm connecting part 352, and the four joints can freely adjust and control the spatial position of the root of the operating end 372. The end joints 350 / 360 / 370 are used to adjust and control the orientation of the operating end 372. As shown in FIG. 1, the operating end 372 of the seven-axis mechanical arm 300 is arranged on the side of the seat back 210 of the wheelchair humanoid robot, and the operating end 372 of the other seven-axis mechanical arm 300 is arranged on the side of the seat cushion 220 of the wheelchair humanoid robot. Figure 2As shown, when the seven-axis robot arm 300 maintains the L-shaped pose (i.e. the elbow joint 340 is in the joint position of lifting up 90°, the upper arm connecting part 332 is drooping and the lower arm connecting part 352 is horizontal and forward), the axis 311 / 331 of the shoulder joint 310 / 330 is in the direction of the Z-axis, the axis 321 / 341 / 361 of the shoulder joint 320, the elbow joint 340 and the terminal joint 360 is in the direction of the X-axis, the axis 351 of the terminal joint 350 is in the direction of the Y-axis, and the axis 371 of the terminal joint 370 is in the direction of the Z-axis. Each joint is driven by a corresponding motor, wherein the three terminal joints 350 / 360 / 370 are set as quasi-collimation drive joints with low reduction ratio, having high sensitivity and low reaction force characteristics, so that the user can realize the movement control of the wheelchair humanoid robot by operating the terminal joints 350 / 360 / 370. The control calculation unit controls each joint through a proportional-differential (PD) controller, wherein the proportional term (P term) is used to maintain the desired joint position, and when the proportional gain is high, the joint position is not easily affected by external forces, and the joint is in an approximately fixed state, and when the proportional gain is low or the output torque limit of the joint is set to be low, the corresponding joint can change the joint position under the operation of the user, allowing the user to "push and twist" the terminal 372; the differential term (D term) is used to provide system damping to reduce the joint motion speed and realize soft and perceptible physical interaction. Each joint is correspondingly provided with a high-precision encoder and a torque sensor; when the wheelchair humanoid robot is in the operation control movement mode, the control calculation unit samples the running state of several of the terminal joints 350 / 360 / 370 in real time through the high-precision encoder and the current / torque sensor, collects the corresponding real-time angle change (joint position) and torque feedback of the joint, perceives the motion intention expressed by the user, and further converts the running state change of the joint into a motion command of the integrated chassis 100, and further maps the motion command to the wheel speed control instruction of the four Mecanum wheels 110 through a speed decoupling model, realizing the translation and / or rotation in the corresponding direction of the motion intention.

[0045] Figure 3 The implementation of the operation control movement mode in the embodiment is shown. First, the elbow joint 340 is in the joint position of lifting up 90°, so that the seven-axis robot arm 300 is in the L-shaped pose; then, compared with the L-shaped pose, the shoulder joint 320 is in the joint position of lifting up 90°, so that the axis 321 of the shoulder joint 320 is in the direction of the X-axis, and the axis 371 of the terminal joint 370 is in the direction of the Z-axis. Figure 2When the end joint 350 is rotated by 90°, the axis of the end joint 360 becomes along the Z-axis direction, and the axis of the end joint 370 becomes along the X-axis direction; and when the end joint 370 is rotated by 90°, the initial pose of the operating end 372 is towards the upper direction, which is convenient for the user to operate. The shoulder joints 310 / 320 / 330 and the elbow joint 340 maintain the joint positions unchanged, and the end joints 350 / 360 / 370 set the corresponding proportional gain to be low or set the corresponding output torque upper limit to be low, so that the operating end 372 can be pushed by the user in the forward, backward, left and right directions, and can be twisted in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

[0046] The mapping relationship between the joint action and the motion intention in the operation control movement mode is as follows:

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , when the user intends to move the wheelchair humanoid robot forward and backward, the operating end 372 is pushed in the forward and backward directions, so that the joint positions and the torques of the end joints 370 change, and the control calculation unit correspondingly generates the motion command for moving the integrated chassis 100 forward and backward after sampling;

[0048] As shown in Figure 5 , when the user intends to move the wheelchair humanoid robot left and right, the operating end 372 is pushed in the left and right directions, which drives the lower arm connecting part 352 of the seven-axis mechanical arm 300 to rotate as a whole, so that the joint positions and the torques of the end joints 350 change, and the control calculation unit correspondingly generates the motion command for moving the integrated chassis 100 left and right after sampling;

[0049] As shown in Figure 6 , when the user intends to turn the wheelchair humanoid robot in place, the operating end 372 is twisted in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, so that the joint positions and the torques of the end joints 360 change, and the control calculation unit correspondingly generates the motion command for rotating the integrated chassis 100 clockwise and counterclockwise after sampling.

[0050] Therefore, the user expresses the control intention of three degrees of freedom by using the end joints 350 / 360 / 370 of the seven-axis mechanical arm 300 as a “perception and input” device in a natural pushing and pulling manner, and finally converts it into the wheel speed control instruction of the Mecanum wheel 110 in the integrated chassis 100, realizing low learning cost and natural intuitive interactive control. The method of mapping the motion command of the integrated chassis 100 as a whole to the wheel speed control instruction of the four Mecanum wheels 110 or the omni-directional wheels is a common means in the prior art, and those skilled in the art can obtain its detailed scheme from other technical materials, which will not be described here.

[0051] Embodiment Two

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the implementation of the operation control movement mode is different. As shown in Figure 7 first, the elbow joint 340 is in a joint position of lifting 90°, so that the seven-axis robot arm 300 is in an L-shaped pose; then, compared with Figure 2 the end joint 350 is rotated by 90°, so that the end joint 360 becomes along the Z-axis direction, and the end joint 370 becomes along the X-axis direction, at this time, the initial pose of the operation end 372 is horizontally facing forward. The shoulder joint 310 / 320 / 330, the elbow joint 340 and the end joint 350 maintain the joint position unchanged, and the end joint 360 / 370 sets the corresponding proportional gain to be low or sets the corresponding output torque upper limit to be low, so that the operation end 372 can be pushed upward, downward, leftward and rightward by the user.

[0053] The mapping relationship between the joint action and the motion intention in the operation control movement mode is as follows:

[0054] As shown in Figure 8 when the user intends to move the wheelchair humanoid robot forward and backward, the operation end 372 is lifted or pressed downward, so that the joint position and torque reaction of the end joint 370 change, and the control calculation unit correspondingly generates the motion command for moving the integrated chassis 100 forward and backward after sampling;

[0055] As shown in Figure 9 when the user intends to turn the wheelchair humanoid robot in place, the operation end 372 is twisted leftward and rightward, so that the joint position and torque reaction of the end joint 360 change, and the control calculation unit correspondingly generates the motion command for rotating the integrated chassis 100 clockwise and counterclockwise after sampling.

[0056] Therefore, the user uses the end joint 360 / 370 of the seven-axis robot arm 300 as a “perception and input” device, and realizes the expression of the control intention of two degrees of freedom by naturally lifting and pressing the operation end 372, and finally converts it into the wheel speed control instruction of the Mecanum wheel 110 in the integrated chassis 100, realizes the low learning cost and natural intuitive interactive control.

[0057] In embodiment one and this embodiment, the seven-axis robot arm 300 on the right side of the robot torso 200 is used to realize the movement control, which is only exemplary and not limited; in some other embodiments, the left or both sides of the seven-axis robot arm 300 can also be used to realize the movement control, which will not be described here.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the proportional-differential controller is provided with a damping control limit speed and a virtual wall maximum torque limit to ensure safety; when the external load exceeds the maximum torque threshold, the control calculation unit automatically locks the moving speed of the integrated chassis 100 to avoid excessive speed; when the user releases the hand, the control calculation unit automatically stops the movement of the integrated chassis 100.

[0059] In other embodiments, the wheelchair humanoid robot can integrate other movement modes to realize a multi-modal control architecture: for example, a camera 230 and a visual recognition module are provided to realize a gesture control movement mode; a voice acquisition device and a voice recognition module are provided to realize a voice control movement mode; a remote control device is provided to realize a remote control movement mode; a path planning module is provided to realize an automatic route finding movement mode through a pre-recorded map; and the user can freely switch the required movement mode. On the other hand, since the seven-axis mechanical arm 300 is provided, the wheelchair humanoid robot of the embodiments of the present application can further integrate the functions of other humanoid service robots to provide other auxiliary services for the user, such as assisting the user in grabbing objects, pressing buttons, gesture interaction, and other daily life operations.

[0060] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables one of ordinary skill in the art to make or use the application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
