Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tactile sensor systems, and particularly to a humanoid robot finger magneto-tactile sensor system with dual-modal perception function. Background Art
[0002] At present, with the rapid development of robotics, humanoid robots have shown great application potential in industrial production, service industries, medical care and other fields. Among them, the fingers of the robot, as the key parts directly interacting with the external environment, the strength of their perception ability directly affects the quality and efficiency of the tasks completed by the robot.
[0003] Most traditional robot finger sensors can only achieve single-modal perception, such as only being able to sense pressure or only being able to sense tactile texture. However, in actual application scenarios, the physical properties of objects are complex and diverse, and it is necessary to simultaneously obtain information in multiple aspects such as normal force and tangential force in order to more accurately achieve grasping, operation and recognition of objects. For example, on an industrial assembly line, a robot needs to accurately grasp parts of different shapes and materials, and a single-modal sensor cannot provide enough information to judge the grasping force and direction, which easily leads to the parts slipping or being damaged.
[0004] Although existing magneto-tactile sensors can sense force changes to a certain extent, they have deficiencies in terms of sensitivity, accuracy and the ability to sense complex forces. The magnetic materials and magnetosensitive element structures used are relatively simple, the response to small force changes is not obvious, and it is difficult to distinguish the combined action of normal force and tangential force. In addition, the signal processing and analysis methods of traditional sensors are relatively single, and the effective information in the sensor data cannot be fully exploited, resulting in inaccurate judgment of the physical properties of objects.
[0005] At the same time, the diversity of the robot working environment also poses higher requirements for the performance of the sensor. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity will affect the performance of the sensor. Existing sensors lack an effective environmental compensation mechanism, resulting in large errors in the measurement results of the sensor under different environmental conditions. Moreover, the communication stability and data security between the sensor and the robot control system also need to be improved to ensure that the robot can obtain sensor data in real time and accurately and make correct decisions.

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 : A specific implementation manner of a humanoid robot finger magneto-tactile sensor system with dual-modal perception function.
[0037] Magneto-tactile perception module: This module is the core to achieve dual-modal perception. A magnetic elastomer material with intelligent microstructures is selected. During the material preparation process, microscopic magnetic sensitive fibers are evenly embedded therein to form a three-dimensional magnetic sensitive structure. When subjected to an external force, the magnetic elastomer not only undergoes macroscopic deformation, but also the microscopic orientation and spacing of the internal magnetic sensitive fibers change, thereby causing a complex and precise change in the magnetic field distribution.
[0038] For the normal pressure F n , the change amount of the electrical signal and F n satisfy the relationship where the non-linear normal pressure sensitivity coefficient k 1n , the non-linear exponent α of the normal pressure n and the logarithmic adjustment coefficient b of the normal pressure 1nIt needs to be determined through experimental calibration. For example, in a laboratory environment, multiple measurements of normal pressures of different magnitudes are carried out, and then the values of these coefficients are obtained by fitting using the least squares method.
[0039] For the tangential force F t , the change in the electrical signal and F t satisfy Similarly, the non - linear tangential force sensitivity coefficient k 2t , the tangential force non - linear index α t , the tangential force sine adjustment coefficient b 2t and the tangential force angular frequency ω t also need to be determined through experiments. By measuring and fitting tangential forces of different directions and magnitudes, accurate coefficient values are obtained.
[0040] The magnetosensitive element uses a composite magnetosensitive sensor that combines the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effect and the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect. This type of sensor has high sensitivity and fast response speed. Arranging the magnetosensitive elements in a three - dimensional staggered array layout can perceive the force distribution comprehensively and with high precision. By calculating the difference and ratio of the electrical signals of magnetosensitive elements in different layers and combining with spatial geometry algorithms, the acting position, direction of the force and the gradient change of the force can be judged more accurately.
[0041] Signal conditioning module: This module processes the weak electrical signals output by the magnetic tactile perception module. A programmable gain amplifier based on an adaptive neural network is used for signal amplification. The input of the neural network is the characteristics of the input signal, such as the amplitude, frequency, etc. of the signal, and the output is the gain G. The gain adjustment formula is where G0 is the initial gain, V ref is the reference voltage, V in is the input signal voltage, V target is the target signal voltage, and β is the gain adjustment coefficient. By continuously adjusting the value of β, the amplifier can automatically adjust the gain according to the intensity of the input signal, improving the signal amplification effect.
[0042] In terms of filtering, a multi - order adaptive notch filter is used to filter out noise of specific frequencies. According to the frequency characteristics of the input signal, the parameters of the filter, such as the cut - off frequency, order, etc., are automatically adjusted to better adapt to signals in different frequency ranges. A polynomial fitting method controlled by fuzzy logic is used for signal linearization, and the order and coefficients of the polynomial are dynamically adjusted according to the dynamic range and noise level of the input signal. For example, when the dynamic range of the input signal is large, the order of the polynomial is increased to improve the accuracy of linearization.
[0043] Data acquisition and processing module: A high - speed data acquisition card is used to collect the conditioned signals, and the sampling frequency fs Satisfy f s = max(2f max , f dynamic ), where f max is the highest frequency component of the signal, and f dynamic is the dynamic sampling frequency adjusted in real time according to the dynamic change rate of the force. By monitoring the change rate of the force in real time and dynamically adjusting the sampling frequency, it is ensured that the change information of the signal can be accurately collected.
[0044] The collected data is transmitted to a multi-core heterogeneous microprocessor, and a multi-scale feature extraction algorithm based on deep learning is used for data processing. Combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a recurrent neural network (RNN), the features of the force signal are extracted from different time scales and spatial scales. CNN is used to extract the spatial features of the signal, and RNN is used to process the time series features of the signal. The actual force value is calculated through the established multi-physical field coupling mathematical model, and the decomposition and synthesis of the force are carried out to obtain the magnitude, direction, action point and dynamic change trend information of the force. At the same time, this module can also predict the motion state and physical properties of the object according to the change of the force. For example, by analyzing the change trend of the force, it is predicted whether the object will slide or fall.
[0045] Communication and interface module: This module supports multiple communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, USB and CAN, which is convenient for data transmission with the control system of the humanoid robot. An adaptive data encryption mechanism based on a chaotic encryption algorithm is used to encrypt the transmitted data. The encryption key K is generated by a chaotic system, and its iterative formula is x n+1 = μ·x n ·(1 - x n ), where μ is the chaotic parameter and x n is the nth iteration value of the chaotic system. The encryption formula is C = E(M, K)·exp(-γ·t), where M is the original data, C is the encrypted data, E is the encryption function, γ is the time decay coefficient, and t is the transmission time. By continuously adjusting the values of μ and γ, the encryption intensity and transmission rate are adaptively adjusted according to the change of the communication environment to ensure the security and reliability of data transmission.
[0046] Mechanical structure module: Integrate the magnetic tactile perception module into the fingertip part of the finger, and wrap the sensor with a flexible material with shape memory characteristics. After being deformed by an external force, this material can return to its original shape under specific conditions (such as temperature change), simulating the elasticity and self-healing ability of the human finger skin. The finger joint adopts a bionic multi-degree-of-freedom variable stiffness structure, and the rotation angle θ of the joint and the applied force F satisfy the relationship where a i is the polynomial coefficient, is the angular fluctuation amplitude, ω is the fluctuation angular frequency, and t is the time. By monitoring the applied force in real time, the stiffness of the joint is adjusted to adapt to different grasping tasks. For example, when grasping a heavy object, the stiffness of the joint is increased to improve the stability of the grasp.
[0047] Self-calibration module: This module performs self-calibration operations when the sensor system is started or periodically. By applying known normal forces and tangential forces with complex dynamic characteristics through a built-in multi-dimensional standard force source, the output signals of the sensors are collected, compared with the theoretical values, and the error values are calculated. According to the error values, the sensitivity coefficients k 1n , k 2t of the magnetic tactile perception module are corrected, and the correction formula is where Δk 1n , Δk 2t are the error values of the sensitivity coefficients, and β n , β t are the correction exponents of the normal force and the tangential force. At the same time, this module can also automatically calibrate the gain and filtering parameters of the signal conditioning module to improve the measurement accuracy and stability of the sensor.
[0048] Temperature compensation module: Multiple high-precision temperature sensors are integrated inside the sensor to monitor the temperature changes T i at different locations in real time. According to the multi-variable coupling relationship between temperature and sensitivity coefficients, gain, filtering parameters, etc., a temperature compensation model based on support vector regression (SVR) is established. The compensated electrical signal V compensated is calculated by the formula where V original is the original electrical signal, w i is the temperature weight coefficient, T 0i is the reference temperature, ∈ is the temperature fluctuation adjustment coefficient, ω T is the temperature angular frequency. By continuously adjusting the values of w i , ∈ and ω T , the electrical signals output by the magnetic tactile perception module and the parameters of the signal conditioning module are compensated to eliminate the influence of temperature on the measurement results.
[0049] Fault diagnosis module: This module monitors the working state of the sensor system in real time. By analyzing multi-source information such as the output signal of the magnetic tactile perception module, the gain and filtering parameters of the signal conditioning module, the calculation results of the data acquisition and processing module, and the communication quality of the communication and interface module, it uses a fault diagnosis algorithm based on Bayesian network to determine whether the sensor system has a fault. When a fault is detected, the system automatically triggers a multi-level alarm mechanism, adopts different alarm methods according to the severity of the fault, such as audible and visual alarms, SMS alarms, etc., and sends the fault information and diagnosis results to the robot control system through the communication and interface module. At the same time, a fault prediction algorithm is adopted to predict the probability and time of fault occurrence based on historical fault data and real-time monitoring information, and maintenance and replacement are carried out in advance to reduce the downtime of the robot.
[0050] Energy management module: Adopting a composite energy recovery technology based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and thermoelectric devices, it converts the mechanical energy and heat energy generated during the movement of the robot finger into electrical energy, which is stored in a hybrid energy storage device composed of a supercapacitor and a lithium battery. The efficiency η of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy mech The calculation formula is By optimizing the structure and materials of TENG, the efficiency of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy is improved. The efficiency η of converting heat energy into electrical energy therm The calculation formula is By optimizing the thermoelectric conversion materials and structure of the thermoelectric device, the efficiency of converting heat energy into electrical energy is improved. A fuzzy control algorithm is used to adjust the charge and discharge strategy in real time according to the energy demand and energy storage state, reasonably manage the charge and discharge process of the hybrid energy storage device, and extend the battery life of the sensor system.
