Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of image data processing, and specifically to a vision-based path planning method for intelligent installation robots of photovoltaic panels. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy, the large-scale installation demand for photovoltaic panels continues to grow. Traditional manual installation is inefficient and costly, so automated installation technology has become an important direction in the industry. Most existing photovoltaic panel installation robots rely on preset paths or simple environmental perception and are difficult to adapt to complex terrains and dynamic obstacles. There is an urgent need for a higher-precision real-time path planning method to improve installation efficiency and reliability.

[0003] In the prior art, lidar SLAM combined with three-dimensional point cloud reconstruction is a common path planning scheme for photovoltaic panel installation robots. It generates a point cloud map by scanning the environment and plans an obstacle avoidance path. Another scheme is based on the visual inertial odometer of an RGB-D camera, which realizes pose estimation and local path optimization through feature matching and depth information fusion. In addition, some studies use genetic algorithms or A* algorithms to search for the global optimal path in a rasterized map and combine the dynamic window method to achieve real-time obstacle avoidance.

[0004] The deficiencies of the prior art are as follows: The lidar scheme is vulnerable to interference in strong light environments, the processing of point cloud data is time-consuming, and it is difficult to capture subtle phase changes. The RGB-D camera is limited by lighting conditions, and the depth information is prone to distortion in the photovoltaic panel reflection scenario. The algorithm based on the grid map has insufficient high-precision terrain modeling ability and cannot effectively handle the path deviation caused by phase gradients, making it difficult to meet the high-precision requirements of photovoltaic panel installation.

[0020] Preferably, the robotic arm dynamics model pre-defines the mass distribution, inertia matrix and torque limit of each joint, and calculates the load torque of the end effector in combination with the weight of the photovoltaic panel; during the path planning process, the path curvature radius is dynamically adjusted according to the real-time load torque to ensure that the joint torque is always lower than the safe torque threshold of 50 Nm; the distance between adjacent nodes is adjusted in real time based on the phase gradient change rate, and the distance is reduced when the gradient changes violently to improve the control accuracy, and the distance is increased when the gradient is gentle to improve the movement efficiency; the closed-loop feedback system continuously monitors the attitude of the robotic arm and the movement state of the chassis, and dynamically optimizes the path curvature and speed parameters to achieve smooth movement under high load; the formula of the robotic arm dynamics model is: , where M is the mass matrix, C is the Coriolis force term, G is the gravity term, r is the joint torque, q is the joint angle, is the angular acceleration.

[0021] Preferably, the bidirectional spatio-temporal grid discretization algorithm discretizes the optical field wave equation into a four-dimensional grid, and each grid node stores the phase value of the space coordinate and the timestamp; the four-dimensional grid is composed of three-dimensional space coordinates (X, Y, Z) and the time axis (T), and includes discretization nodes of the forward time axis and the reverse time axis; based on the dynamic forbidden zone data and the historical fracture probability, the phase fracture risk value on the future path is calculated in real time; if the risk value exceeds the preset threshold, the pre-compensation mechanism is triggered, and the piezoelectric control signal of the piezoelectric ceramic unit is adjusted through the micro-nano phase modulation layer, and a compensation phase offset is injected to offset the predicted fracture effect; at the same time, the wave equation solver generates a microsecond-level trajectory correction instruction to control the chassis and the robotic arm to cooperate to adjust the movement direction and speed, bypass the fracture area, and ensure that the actual trajectory is consistent with the global optimal path. The formula of the bidirectional spatio-temporal grid discretization equation is: ; where is the phase value of the spatio-temporal grid node (i, j) at time step n; c is the speed of light, which is related to the propagation speed of the optical field; Δt and Δx are the time and space discretization steps; it is discretized into a four-dimensional spatio-temporal grid as: , where is the optical field phase value at the spatial position (i, j, k) at the nth time step, i, j, k are the spatial grid indices, corresponding to the x, y, z coordinate axes, n is the time step index, c is the speed of light, Δt is the reverse time step of 0.01 s; Δx, Δy, Δz are the spatial grid resolutions; i, j, k are the spatial grid indices; n is the time step index; its specific function is to reverse-deduce the optical field phase distortion distribution from the target end point, predict the future fracture zone position, such as t = tcurrent + 0.5 s, where t is the time point, generally used to represent the future prediction step; tcurrent is the current time timestamp, used as a reference point for time reverse deduction; and generate pre-compensation parameters; the formula of the phase fracture risk value is: , where represents the probability value of phase fracture at the four-dimensional coordinate point; M is the number of historical fracture event clusters, the number of different types of fracture events clustered from historical data; is the weight of the mth type of event, with a value in [0, 1], and = 1; is the current observed phase value; is the model-predicted phase value; σ m is the Gaussian kernel bandwidth of the mth type of event; the dynamic update rule is to record the position, time, and phase deviation of historical fracture events; compare the current phase field with the model prediction value and calculate the Mahalanobis distance: , if Dm < 3σm, it is considered that the current point belongs to the mth type of fracture event, The covariance matrix for the characteristics of the m-th type of fracture event, which is used to reflect the distribution shape; the phase fracture risk value ranges from [0, 1]. The higher the value, the greater the probability of a phase fracture occurring; if exceeds the preset threshold of 0.5, the corresponding obstacle avoidance or pre-compensation mechanism is triggered; when ≥0.5, trajectory correction is triggered.

[0022] Preferably, after installation, the actual phase field data of the installed photovoltaic panel area is re-collected through a phase-sensitive camera, and pixel-by-pixel differential comparison is performed with the holographic phase field model. The root mean square value of the phase difference is calculated and stored in the historical error data; if the root mean square value exceeds the tolerance threshold of 10 cm, the error source is traced back through the time-reversed light field prediction equation to locate the phase gradient mapping error or obstacle recognition deviation in the model; the boundary conditions of the light field wave equation are adjusted to optimize the holographic phase field model. The boundary conditions are the initial phase distribution of the light field wave equation and the robot motion tangent plane constraint. The robot motion tangent plane is the projection plane of the local coordinate system of the end effector motion trajectory of the robotic arm, which is dynamically determined by the 6-degree-of-freedom pose data of the robot; the weight coefficient of the phase gradient tracking algorithm is optimized through a reinforcement learning algorithm. The reinforcement learning algorithm is based on the historical error data set, iteratively updates the weight coefficient of the phase gradient tracking algorithm, adjusts the path search priority and tolerance allocation strategy, and gradually reduces the phase deviation of subsequent tasks; the rule for the reinforcement learning algorithm to update the weight is:

The voltage intensity is linearly related to the phase compensation amount, and the optical path length is changed through ceramic deformation to achieve precise adjustment of the incident light phase offset; when the camera collects the light intensity and phase data, it synchronously receives the 6-degree-of-freedom pose data of the IMU / odometer, and ensures the precise alignment of the spatio-temporal tags through the hardware clock synchronization mechanism; the compressed holographic data stream is transmitted through a dedicated channel with a fixed priority to avoid data packet loss or delay, supporting the efficient operation of subsequent algorithms.

[0026] Preferably, the digital elevation model marks the terrain undulation by detecting the area with a steep increase in phase gradient, calculates the height value by combining the conversion relationship between the phase difference and the incident angle, and generates a high-precision three-dimensional topographic map; analyzes the wavelength offset of the circular diffraction ripples in the phase field in real time, infers the surface roughness of the obstacle, and determines the material properties by the refractive index change in the phase mutation zone; the obstacle information is encapsulated as dynamic restricted area data, including coordinate boundaries, shape parameters, and danger levels, and is transmitted to the path planning algorithm in real time to dynamically update the restricted area list, ensuring that the robot's movement path always avoids the newly identified dangerous areas.

[0027] Preferably, the phase gradient tracking algorithm continuously monitors the deviation between the current phase value and the target node through a closed-loop feedback system. If the deviation exceeds the limit, it triggers the coordinated adjustment of the robotic arm joint angle and the chassis speed, and the adjustment amount is determined by the deviation ratio; during the post-installation verification phase, if the deviation between the actual phase field and the model continuously exceeds the limit, the reinforcement learning algorithm optimizes the weight coefficient of the phase gradient tracking algorithm based on historical error data, and adjusts the gradient weight and tolerance allocation ratio of the path search; through multiple rounds of iterative training, the model gradually adapts to the dynamic changes of the environment, improving the robustness and installation accuracy of the path planning.

[0028] Preferably, the path planning method uses a two-way spatio-temporal grid discretization algorithm to decompose the optical field wave equation into discrete grid nodes on the forward time axis and the reverse time axis; the forward time axis is used to solve the optical field phase distribution at the current moment, and the reverse time axis reversely deduces the phase distortion distribution on the future path based on the target end point coordinates, predicting the position, size, and distortion amount of the phase fracture zone; the reverse deduction process is accelerated through GPU parallel computing to generate pre-compensation parameters including phase modulation intensity, compensation direction, and time window; the parameters are transmitted to the micro-nano phase modulation layer of the phase-sensitive camera through a dedicated data channel. This layer is composed of a piezoelectric ceramic unit array, and each unit receives a piezoelectric control signal corresponding to the compensation amount, and changes the optical path length of the incident light through the deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic to dynamically adjust the phase offset; this mechanism realizes the real-time cancellation of future phase distortion, ensures the spatio-temporal continuity of optical field data acquisition, and avoids the lag problem of traditional single-time-axis prediction, significantly improving the accuracy and real-time performance of path planning.

Specific implementation manners

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention provide a vision-based path planning method for an intelligent photovoltaic panel installation robot, including: the robot mobile chassis and the robotic arm cooperate to enter the photovoltaic panel installation area, and multiple phase-sensitive cameras deployed thereon are synchronously started to cover a 360-degree field of view to collect light intensity and phase information; the micro-nano phase modulation layer of the camera receives the piezoelectric control signal corresponding to the pre-compensation parameter through the piezoelectric ceramic array, dynamically adjusts the incident light phase offset amount, and offsets the environmental interference; the camera and the robot IMU / odometer are connected through a nanosecond-level synchronization bus to collect 6-degree-of-freedom pose data in real time, and are strictly aligned with the light intensity, phase offset amount, and nanosecond-level time stamp through an embedded processor to generate a holographic data stream with spatio-temporal tags; the spatio-temporal tags are differentially compressed through an entropy coding algorithm to remove redundant data between adjacent times and positions, and the compressed data stream is transmitted to the wave equation solver through a dedicated light field channel at a fixed frame rate to ensure high-real-time input.

[0035] After receiving the holographic data stream, the wave equation solver uses a bidirectional space-time grid discretization algorithm to decompose the light field wave equation into four-dimensional grid nodes. The forward time axis is used to solve the current light field phase distribution, and the reverse time axis reversely deduce the future phase distortion from the path planning target end point; the principal component characteristics of the phase field are extracted by the principal component analysis algorithm, and projected onto the robot motion tangent plane to form a two-dimensional dimensionality reduction mapping, thereby simplifying subsequent path planning calculations; GPU parallel computing accelerates the phase distortion prediction of the reverse time axis, and generates pre-compensation parameters including the fracture zone position, compensation amount and phase modulation parameters; the parameters are transmitted to the micro-nano phase modulation layer in real time through a dedicated channel, and the piezoelectric ceramic unit adjusts the deformation amount according to the piezoelectric control signal intensity, accurately corrects the incident light phase offset, offsets the predicted phase fracture interference, and ensures the spatiotemporal continuity of the light field data.

[0036] The continuous phase field data and pre-compensation parameters are fused through a weighted superposition algorithm, and the weights are dynamically allocated by the phase gradient stability to generate a holographic phase field model including terrain height, obstacle contour and phase gradient direction; based on the preset linear conversion relationship between phase difference and incident angle, the phase difference of adjacent areas is mapped to height values, and a digital elevation model of the installation area is constructed pixel by pixel; at the same time, the annular diffraction ripples in the phase field are detected, and the correlation between their wavelength offset and the surface roughness of the obstacle is analyzed, and the three-dimensional contour and material properties of the obstacle are inverted in combination with the refractive index change of the phase mutation band; the obstacle information is marked as a dynamic restricted area, including coordinate boundaries, shape parameters and hazard levels, and transmitted to the path planning algorithm in real time to trigger the update of the obstacle avoidance strategy.

[0037] The target coordinates of photovoltaic panel installation and the phase gradient tolerance threshold are set through the remote monitoring center. The path planning algorithm combines the size and weight parameters of the photovoltaic panels to generate a global optimal path along the direction of the fastest descent of the phase gradient in the holographic phase field model. The path needs to avoid the terrain undulations and dynamic restricted areas in the digital elevation model, and is decomposed into multiple phase gradient nodes through a discretization algorithm. Each node contains a target phase value, a movement speed, and an allowable deviation range. The phase gradient tracking algorithm obtains the current phase value of the robot in real time through a closed-loop feedback system, and calculates the difference with the phase value of the target node. If the deviation exceeds the tolerance threshold, the angular velocity of the robot arm joint and the movement direction of the chassis are adjusted to make the robot move along the corrected phase gradient direction.

[0038] The dynamic model of the robotic arm predefines the mass, inertia matrix, and torque limit of each joint, and calculates the real-time load torque of the end effector in combination with the weight of the photovoltaic panel. During path planning, the path curvature radius is dynamically adjusted according to the load torque to ensure that the torque of each joint is always below the safety threshold. At the same time, the distance between adjacent nodes is adjusted in real time based on the phase gradient change rate, reducing the distance when the gradient changes violently to improve control accuracy, and increasing the distance when the gradient is gentle to improve motion efficiency. The closed-loop feedback system continuously monitors the attitude of the robotic arm and the motion state of the chassis, and dynamically optimizes the path curvature and speed parameters to ensure smooth motion under high load.

[0039] Then, the optical field wave equation is discretized into a four-dimensional grid by the bidirectional spatio-temporal grid discretization algorithm. Based on the dynamic forbidden zone data and the historical fracture probability, the phase fracture risk value on the future path is calculated in real time. If the risk value exceeds the preset threshold, the pre-compensation mechanism is triggered, and compensation parameters are injected by adjusting the piezoelectric control signal of the micro-nano phase modulation layer to reshape the current optical field distribution map to offset the future fracture risk. At the same time, the wave equation solver generates a microsecond-level motion trajectory correction instruction to control the chassis and the robotic arm to jointly adjust the motion direction and speed to bypass the fracture area and ensure that the actual trajectory is consistent with the global optimal path.

[0040] After installation, the phase-sensitive camera re-collects the actual phase field data and performs a pixel-by-pixel differential comparison with the holographic phase field model to calculate the root mean square value of the phase difference. If the deviation exceeds the tolerance threshold, the error source is traced through the time-reversed optical field prediction equation to locate the phase gradient mapping error or obstacle recognition deviation, and the initial phase distribution of the wave equation and the motion tangent plane constraint parameters are adjusted. The reinforcement learning algorithm iteratively optimizes the weight coefficients of the phase gradient tracking algorithm based on the historical error data set, adjusts the gradient weight and tolerance allocation ratio of the path search, and gradually reduces the phase deviation of subsequent tasks.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
