Through precise control of the servo motor, fine operation of the brake and throttle is achieved, ensuring that the vehicle can accelerate and brake smoothly according to the preset controllable acceleration, greatly improving the comfort and safety of driving.

[0035] In some embodiments, the left steering wheel clamping arm 17 and the right steering wheel clamping arm 20 are both mounted on the steering wheel clamping arm base 9 through steering wheel clamping arm fastening blocks 8.

[0036] In some embodiments, the control cabinet 5 is fixed on the control part base plate 7 through a cabinet fastening block 6.

[0037] In some embodiments, the gear shifting control assembly includes a three-axis robotic arm base 4, a three-axis robotic arm 29, and a gear shifting sleeve head 30. The three-axis robotic arm base 4 is mounted on the control part base plate 7. A three-axis robotic arm 29 is mounted on the three-axis robotic arm base 4.

[0038] The gear control assembly is equipped with an optional gear control mechanism that can accurately control various types of gear shifting devices, such as touch-type, button-type, hand-held gear shift lever type and traditional type. The gear shift control mechanism closely cooperates with the servo motor of the mechanical arm through its own high-precision locking device to always maintain a stable position and working state, thereby achieving reliable and accurate gear shifting operations to meet the gear switching needs of the vehicle under different driving conditions.

[0039] In some embodiments, one steering wheel turning claw 22 includes two steering wheel fastening claws 34 , and the two steering wheel fastening claws 34 are fixed on the steering wheel 33 by fastening nuts 32 .

[0040] The main frame can be detachably fixed to the vehicle driving seat, and the base includes a left and right double base, which is fixed by fastening screws connecting the driver's seat slide rail and the vehicle.

[0041] In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall base, the steering wheel support is clamped by the left and right double clamp arms, and the fastening method of the base and the vehicle is used to provide strong support for the steering wheel steering control.

[0042] In order to ensure that the left and right double clamp arms can clamp normally, a sliding groove is designed at the base of the steering wheel clamp arm to facilitate the left and right double clamp arms to adapt to steering wheel shaft jackets of different sizes.

[0043] The left and right steering wheel brackets connected to the left and right double clamp arms ensure that the base of the steering wheel control motor is parallel to the steering wheel surface through the steering wheel bracket screws that can adjust the angle.

[0044] Under the condition of ensuring parallelism, the left steering wheel slider 24 and the right steering wheel slider 25 are used to facilitate the adjustment of the axis center of the steering wheel control motor 23 and the axis center of the steering wheel.

[0045] Under the condition of ensuring parallelism and axis alignment, the steering wheel is controlled by the steering wheel control motor 23 to directly drive the steering wheel.

[0046] The steering wheel steering claw 22 directly controls the steering of the steering wheel, and adopts four steering wheel fastening claws, with two of each clamping one steering wheel radius rib, and tightening two steering wheel radius ribs in total. It is equivalent to a person's hands grasping the steering wheel, ensuring that the control motor and the steering wheel are precisely synchronized.

[0047] Based on the left and right brackets of the steering wheel, a camera system 28 is installed, including 4 sets of in-vehicle cameras, which are responsible for visual tracking of the left rearview mirror, the right rearview mirror, the front, and the rear mirror. The camera simulates the driver observing the road conditions in the above four directions.

[0048] Based on the above four cameras, we specially train and learn common road condition videos to perceive the surrounding conditions of the vehicle.

[0049] For the brake and throttle control, a linear servo motor is directly used for control respectively, and the vehicle control center is used for control and coordination respectively.

[0050] The gear control robotic arm (301) connected to the main body frame is equipped with a sleeve type at its end, and can support the operations of a touch type, a button type, a stalk shift lever type and a traditional shift device at the same time; To adapt to the shift tables of different heights, bases of different heights are equipped for the triple-axis robotic arm 29, so that the triple-axis robotic arm has better adaptability.

[0051] The steering robotic arm connected to the main body frame integrates a torque-angle double closed-loop control algorithm to compensate the steering wheel return torque in real time.

[0052] The lossless integration and switching mechanism enables the anthropomorphic driverless robot to be losslessly integrated into the existing manned vehicles and achieve smooth switching between the manned driving mode and the driverless driving mode.

[0053] The robotic arm anthropomorphic operating system includes a robotic arm, a sensor, a controller and an actuator.

[0054] The installation process of the anthropomorphic driverless robot described in the present invention includes: (1) Fix the robot base in the cockpit through the bottom of the seat and the vehicle locking device, install the brake piece base 10, adjust the position of the brake piece base 10 according to the size, and ensure that there is a gap of about 4-6 cm between the brake pedal plate of the brake linear motor 13 and the accelerator pedal plate of the accelerator linear motor 15 and the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal of the vehicle when in the shortest stroke.

[0055] (2) Install the steering control robotic arm of the steering wheel: Clamp the steering wheel support shaft by tightening the left clamping arm 17 and the right clamping arm 20 of the steering wheel, and the shaft provides a stable and reliable supporting force for the steering control of the steering wheel. Adjust the left support 21 and the right support of the steering wheel to make the steering control motor base parallel to the steering wheel surface, and then tighten the steering wheel support screw 18. Adjust the left slider 24 and the right slider 25 of the steering wheel to align the axis of the steering control motor 23 with the axis of the steering wheel, and then tighten the left slider 24 and the right slider 25 of the steering wheel. Adjust the steering claw 22 of the steering wheel so that the four fastening claws of the steering claw 22 respectively clamp two radius ribs in the steering wheel. Ensure that the steering angle is 0 degrees when the steering wheel is at the 12 o'clock position. Calibrate the steering control motor 23 to ensure that the initial position of the steering control motor 23 is at the 0-degree angle.

[0056] (3) For gear levers of different heights, triaxial robotic arm bases 4 of different heights have been pre-designed and the selection has been completed before installation. At this time, only the triaxial robotic arm 29 needs to be installed on the control part base plate 7, and the height and front-back position are checked.

[0057] (4) After the left and right steering wheel brackets are determined, the in-vehicle vision camera bracket 27 is fastened to the steering wheel bracket. The two left and right brackets of this bracket can be adjusted according to the distance between the left and right steering wheel brackets. The camera base can be adjusted to a certain height, and the camera itself can be adjusted in angle to ensure that the camera has the best vision.

[0058] (5) The control cabinet is directly installed on the control part base plate 7.

[0059] (6) Install radar and vision acquisition devices inside the cockpit and on the side of the vehicle, fix them through magnetic attraction or snap devices, and connect them to the main body through flexible wires or wirelessly.

[0060] (7) The power supply and control circuits of the gear robotic arm, in-vehicle camera, control cabinet, steering wheel control motor, brake and accelerator control linear motors are bundled and straightened, and the power lines are uniformly connected to the vehicle power input port.

[0061] The anthropomorphic driverless robot designed by the present invention can be fixed in the driver's cab, can be adapted to the shape and size characteristics of seats of various different vehicle models through simple assembly and adjustment, and the installation and disassembly processes are simple and fast, which can ensure that the main body always maintains a stable position and posture under various complex working conditions during vehicle driving, providing a solid and reliable foundation for the precise operation of various subsequent robotic arms.

[0062] The following is an introduction to the application of the anthropomorphic driverless robot described in this embodiment: Design for common modes of automatic vehicles: The vehicle has a brake gear, an accelerator gear, manual R gear, N gear, P gear, L gear. There are two types of manual handbrakes: button type and gear lever type. This design is based on the vehicle handbrake being button type or manual type, and the foot-operated type is not considered for the time being. In addition, the situation where pressing force needs to be applied to the manual gear lever is not considered for the time being.

[0063] The anthropomorphic driverless robot described in the present invention further includes a sensing module, which achieves seamless docking through the OBD interface of the vehicle, directly reads 28 parameters such as the torque output, wheel speed, and ESP status of the vehicle ECU through the OBD-III interface, and cleverly arranges sensors at key positions inside the vehicle to obtain key operation information such as the speed, acceleration, steering angle, and braking state of the vehicle in real time and accurately. At the same time, multiple advanced radar and visual acquisition devices are arranged inside the cockpit and on the side of the vehicle using convenient fixing devices such as magnetic attraction or buckles; a differential GPS module (centimeter-level positioning) is installed on the roof to form a global motion sensing network for making decisions on vehicle movement. These devices can be directly and tightly connected to the main body, or can maintain data interaction with the main body through soft wire connection or wireless communication technology, so as to achieve a full-range and non-blind-spot acquisition of the road conditions around the vehicle. The driverless robot also has a powerful autonomous learning ability, performs in-depth learning and analysis on the massive data collected through built-in algorithms, accurately calculates the optimal installation positions of each radar and visual acquisition device, and deeply perceives the road conditions and the complex relationship between the vehicle and the surrounding environment, providing rich and accurate data support for subsequent decision-making.

[0064] The control cabinet described in the present invention includes a decision-making module: using deep learning technology, based on a large amount of real driving data for in-depth training, a highly intelligent deep neural network model is constructed. This model can quickly and accurately make various driving decisions such as accelerating, decelerating, steering, and changing lanes according to the multiple information transmitted by the sensing module. At the same time, through data fusion algorithms, the vehicle's own state information, environmental perception information, and real-time information from the roadside and the cloud are organically fused and deeply analyzed, so as to comprehensively judge the optimal driving strategy to ensure that the vehicle can drive safely and efficiently under various complex road conditions.

[0065] In a closed or low-risk environment, the anthropomorphic driverless robot designed in the present invention repeatedly performs operations such as starting, accelerating, decelerating, steering, moving forward, reversing, and parking while the vehicle is moving slowly; vehicle state data and environmental data are collected from the OBD, in-vehicle video cameras, and cameras around the vehicle. Based on the collected data, the control parameters are adjusted through machine learning algorithms (such as reinforcement learning or PID parameter optimization) until reliable and accurate operations are achieved. During the slow operation of the vehicle, dynamic radar and visual data are collected; the optimal installation positions of the sensors are calculated through autonomous learning algorithms, and the device layout is adjusted to maximize the sensing range and accuracy.

[0066] The anthropomorphic driverless robot described in the present invention will automatically enter the autonomous learning mode after each vehicle startup. By driving slowly and repeatedly performing a series of typical driving operation processes such as starting, accelerating, decelerating, steering, moving forward, reversing, and parking, it autonomously and comprehensively collects the state information of the vehicle under various working conditions. At the same time, it monitors and deeply analyzes the rotational speed and rotation angle of the servo motors in each robotic arm control mechanism, and uses advanced data analysis algorithms to deeply mine and process the massive amounts of collected data, continuously optimizing and adjusting relevant parameters until a set of stable, reliable, and accurate operation parameters is obtained. These optimized parameters can ensure that the robot can always accurately, stably, and reliably control the throttle, brakes, gears, and steering device during subsequent driving, significantly improving the safety and stability of driverless driving.

[0067] The driverless robot designed in the present invention has the following advantages: autonomous learning time < 2 hours (covering 90% of mass-produced vehicle models), shift operation success rate > 98% (ASIL-C level verification), number of parameter optimization iterations < 50 times (compared with more than 300 times of the traditional trial-and-error method), supports cross-vehicle model knowledge transfer, and the adaptation time is shortened by more than 60%.

[0068] The present invention adopts incremental parameter identification. During the cold start phase, a progressive excitation signal (chirp sweep + pseudo-random sequence) is executed, and the throttle-acceleration transfer function is identified online through the least squares recursive algorithm.

[0069] The present invention adopts reinforcement learning optimization. An ε-greedy strategy exploration is superimposed on the benchmark parameters, and the ride comfort (jerk < 3 m / s³) and tracking accuracy (speed error RMS < 0.5 kph) are used as the reward function, and the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) is used to continuously optimize the operation strategy. An operation mode library for typical scenarios (ramp / low adhesion road surface) is established to achieve cross-condition transfer learning.

[0070] Knowledge distillation mechanism: The cloud pre-trained model transfers knowledge to the vehicle-end model through feature distillation: L_KD = ∑KL(p_teacher(s)||p_student(s)) + λ||θ_t - θ_s||² Where: p_teacher(s) and p_student(s) respectively represent the output probability distributions of the teacher model (cloud large model) and the student model (vehicle-end small model) for the input s; θ_t and θ_s respectively represent the parameter vectors of the teacher model and the student model; λ is the regularization coefficient, which controls the weight balance between the KL divergence term and the L2 regularization term; KL(p_teacher(s)||p_student(s)) = ∑p_teacher(s) × ln(p_student(s) / p_teacher(s)), which means that minimizing the KL divergence is equivalent to making the prediction distribution of the student model approximate the "soft labels" of the teacher model, transmitting implicit knowledge similarity.

[0071] Spatio-temporal attention mechanism: Introduce a temporal convolution + spatial attention module in the robotic arm trajectory planning.

[0072] Dynamic reward engineering reward function design: R_t = ω1 × S_success + ω2 × exp(-J_erk) - ω3 × P_energy + ω4 × tanh(1 - D_safety) The jerk index (Jerk) adopts a fourth-order derivative constraint: J_erk = ‖d³x / dt³‖² Safety distance model: D_safety = min(θ_max - θ_current, θ_current - θ_min) Energy consumption model: P_energy = ∑(I_motor² × R_winding) Where: S_success is the task success rate index, which measures whether the agent completes the core task and is a continuous value in the interval [0, 1]; ω1 is the success reward coefficient, which is used to amplify the reward for task success and drive the agent to prioritize achieving the final goal; Jerk is the jerk of the action, which is used to describe the change rate of acceleration and characterize the smoothness of the action. The function form exp(−Jerk) means mapping the jerk to an exponentially decaying reward value. The higher the jerk, the lower the reward; ω2 is the jerk suppression coefficient, which is used to adjust the emphasis on action smoothness, suppress unnecessary jitters or mutations, and improve control stability; Penergy is the energy consumption, which is used to describe the energy consumption of the agent when performing actions; ω3 is the energy balance coefficient, which is used to balance task performance and energy efficiency and prevent the agent from sacrificing short-term benefits for high energy consumption; Dsafety is the safety distance, whose domain is [0, 1], which defines the minimum distance between the agent and the dangerous area (such as obstacles, other vehicles); the function form tanh(1 - D_safety) maps the safety distance to a non-linear reward. The closer the distance (the smaller D_safety), the faster the reward decays; ω4 is the safety sensitivity coefficient, which is used to enhance the sensitivity to safety and ensure that the agent significantly reduces the risk tendency when approaching danger.
