Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a joint stiffness testing device and method based on an optical platform, belonging to the technical field of robots. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of robotics technology has led to the widespread application of robots in industrial production, medical care, service industries and other fields. The joints of robots are the core components of robot movement and task execution. The stiffness of the joints has an important impact on the robot's movement accuracy, stability and execution ability. In the field of mechanical design and robotics, joint stiffness is an important parameter to measure the rigidity of robot joint movement. Therefore, accurately measuring and evaluating the stiffness of robot joints is a key issue in improving robot performance and optimizing robot motion control.
[0003] At present, there are two main methods for testing the stiffness of robot joints: one is based on mathematical modeling, and the other is based on experimental testing. The mathematical modeling method requires a detailed analysis of the structure and materials of the robot and complex mathematical calculations to obtain a theoretical model of joint stiffness. However, due to the complexity and diversity of the structure and materials of the robot, the mathematical modeling method is often difficult to accurately describe the true stiffness of the robot joint. In addition, the mathematical modeling method has a large amount of calculations and high computational complexity, which is not suitable for real-time testing and rapid application.
[0004] The method based on experimental testing is currently the most commonly used method for testing the stiffness of robot joints. This method uses external torque to act on the robot joints, and then measures the displacement of the joints to calculate the stiffness of the joints. However, there are some problems with existing testing devices and methods. For example, most of the existing testing devices are complex, bulky, and inconvenient to operate, and cannot meet the requirements for accurate measurement of robot joint stiffness. In addition, the existing testing methods have certain errors and uncertainties in the implementation process, which limits the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a joint stiffness testing device and method based on an optical platform to solve the defects of the prior art. The device and method are simple, reliable, and can accurately measure the stiffness of robot joints.
[0006] In summary, there are some problems with the existing robot joint stiffness testing device and method, such as complex testing device, inconvenient operation, large error in the testing method, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new joint stiffness testing device and method to solve the defects of the prior art.

[0038] Step 2: Sensor Calibration Place the ATI sensor in a force-free state, that is, no external force is applied to the sensor. In this state, perform a zero-point calibration, return the measurement result to zero, and calibrate the sensor using known force or torque values, which can be obtained by using an object of known mass or a reference standard sensor. Apply different known force or torque values and record the output of the sensor. Use the calibration data for data processing and calculate the calibration coefficients. Use linear interpolation or polynomial fitting methods to calculate the calibration coefficients based on the relationship between the measurement results and the known values; use a set of known force or torque values for verification, and compare the measurement results with the known values to ensure the accuracy of the calibration; if there is a large deviation, the sensor needs to be recalibrated; Step 3: Sensor connection After the sensor is calibrated, it is fixed to the tibial connection device through the three screws of the screw group; ensure that the power supply of the sensor is normal, select the communication interface of the sensor, and connect the communication cable of the sensor to the serial port of the host computer according to the selected communication interface; according to the specifications and application requirements of the sensor, set the sampling rate, filter settings and other parameters of the sensor through the software; Step 4: Connection of the Robotic Arm Make sure the power of the UR16e robot is connected and turned on.

After the configuration is complete, the robot can be controlled through the graphical interface in URCaps or programming languages (such as URScript). Connect the flange device to the end of the robot arm, adjust the robot arm to free motion mode, move the flange device to align it with the sensor, and then fix it to the sensor with the three screws of the screw group; Step 5.

According to the test parameter settings, run the test program of the robot arm. The program will control the robot arm to move at the set speed, force and angle. During the test, input displacement information according to the local coordinate system so that the knee joint moves a certain displacement as required, and read the force data received in the ATI sensor on the host computer. Perform coordinate conversion and data processing, and use the data to draw torque-angle or force-displacement curves. The stiffness of the joint can be calculated by the slope of the curve. In order to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, repeat the test many times.

The left-right translation value of the knee joint is 0mm. Set the ATI sensor to zero again, control the robot arm, and increase or decrease the left-right translation value of the knee joint from 0mm to plus or minus 8mm at an increment of 0.4mm. After each translation, pause for 2 seconds to allow the sensor reading to stabilize, and then perform the next translation.

At this time, set the robot arm to manual adjustment mode, fine-tune the position of the tool center, and observe the ATI sensor data of the host computer during the adjustment process so that the data If the value of (front-back translation direction) is within 0.5N, it is considered to be the natural position at 30° flexion. The front-back translation value of the knee joint is 0mm.

Similarly, the anterior-posterior translation stiffness of the knee joint of the tension-compression robot can be measured at different flexion angles.
[0043] Example 5 Measuring the axial tension and compression stiffness of the knee joint of a tension-compression robot According to steps 1 to 5, connect the robot arm to the tension and compression body knee joint model, adjust to the initial state, set the ATI sensor to zero, input the position control command in the robot arm's operating system, and let the knee joint model bend 30°. At this time, set the robot arm to manual adjustment mode, fine-tune the position of the tool center, and observe the ATI sensor data of the host computer during the adjustment process so that the data If the value (in the axial tension and compression direction) is within 0.5N, it is considered to be the natural position at 30° flexion. The axial translation value of the knee joint is 0mm. Reset the ATI sensor to zero again, manipulate the robotic arm, and increase the axial tensile displacement value of the knee joint from 0mm to 8mm at an increment of 0.4mm. After each translation, pause for 2 seconds to allow the sensor to stabilize before performing the next translation. After completion, use the ATI sensor software of the host computer to export the sensor data for data processing. After the stretching is completed, restore the knee joint to its natural position at 30° flexion. Reset the ATI sensor to zero again, manipulate the robotic arm, and reduce the axial tensile displacement value of the knee joint from 0mm to -1mm at an increment of 0.1mm. Record the value of each displacement. Force data, and finally draw the force / displacement curve, according to the formula , the slope of the curve is the axial tension and compression stiffness of the knee joint at this moment. Similarly, the axial tension and compression stiffness of the tension-compression robot knee joint at different flexion angles can be measured.
[0044] It can be seen from Examples 1-5 that the joint stiffness testing device and method based on an optical platform provided by the present invention can effectively measure the stiffness of the knee joint of a bionic tension and compression robot under different motion states. Examples 1-5 demonstrate the versatility and accuracy of the testing device, which can comprehensively evaluate the internal and external rotation, internal and external valgus, front and back left and right translation, and axial tension and compression stiffness of the knee joint. In Example 1, the internal and external rotation stiffness of the knee joint at this angle was tested by adjusting the knee joint model to a specific flexion angle and fine-tuning it using the robotic arm operating system. Example 2 measures the internal and external valgus stiffness of the knee joint, also at a specific flexion angle. Both examples illustrate that the testing device can accurately measure the rotational stiffness of the knee joint. Examples 3 and 4 respectively measure the left and right and front and back translation stiffness of the knee joint at a specific flexion angle. These two examples show that the testing device can not only evaluate the rotational stiffness, but also perform accurate stiffness tests on the translational motion of the knee joint. Finally, Example 5 focuses on measuring the axial tension and compression stiffness of the knee joint, by controlling the robotic arm to make the knee joint model perform axial tension and compression movements, and record the corresponding force data. This example further demonstrates the validity of the test device in evaluating the axial motion stiffness of the knee joint.
