Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of information technology, and in particular relates to an intelligent industrial robot sorting system based on a large model algorithm. Background Art
[0002] Material sorting, a critical component of industrial production, plays a vital role in numerous industries, including logistics and warehousing, electronics manufacturing, and food processing. With the continued expansion of industrial production and increasing demands for efficiency, traditional manual material sorting, due to its low efficiency and high error rates, is becoming increasingly difficult to adapt to modern production demands. Industrial robots, with their high speed, high precision, and strong repeatability, have become a revolutionary force in the material sorting field. However, their application still faces numerous technical bottlenecks, limiting their in-depth application in complex scenarios.
[0003] From the perspective of material identification, industrial scenarios present a rich variety of material types, with significant differences in shape, color, and material quality. Even subtle features of similar materials can be difficult to discern. Currently, most industrial robotic material sorting systems rely on a single visual recognition technology, which is significantly affected by environmental factors such as changes in light intensity, surface reflectivity, and occlusion, leading to incomplete feature extraction. In actual sorting operations, misclassification of similar materials and missed inspection of unusually shaped parts are common, reducing sorting efficiency and potentially causing production line downtime or product quality defects.
[0004] In terms of path planning, complex sorting environments often contain multiple target workstations, dynamic obstacles, and spatial constraints, placing higher demands on the real-time and safety of robot motion planning. Existing path planning algorithms are mostly based on static geometric modeling and preset rules, lacking comprehensive consideration of the robot's dynamic characteristics (such as joint torque limits and motion acceleration), material distribution density, and dynamic environmental changes. This makes the robot prone to problems such as circuitous paths and increased collision risks during the sorting process, resulting in a decrease in sorting output per unit time and increased energy loss.
[0005] In multi-robot collaborative scenarios, large-scale sorting tasks typically require multiple robots to work together, but existing systems lack dynamic task allocation and conflict resolution mechanisms. Communication delays and untimely global information sharing between robots can lead to overlapping work areas and repeated grabbing of target workpieces. Furthermore, each robot lacks a collaborative control strategy based on real-time working conditions, making it difficult to dynamically adjust its division of labor based on changes in order demand, equipment failures, and other emergencies. This results in an unsmooth overall operational process and difficulty improving system throughput. These technical pain points urgently need to be addressed through interdisciplinary technology integration and algorithm optimization to promote the development of industrial robot material sorting technology towards intelligence and flexibility.

[0043] Sensor Deployment and Data Collection: Based on the needs and characteristics of material sorting, multi-source sensors such as visual sensors, lidar, infrared sensors, and tactile sensors are deployed to ensure comprehensive and accurate acquisition of multi-source information about materials. Sensors collect data in real time at a set frequency and transmit it via the network to the multi-source information fusion module in the data processing layer.
[0044] Multi-source information fusion algorithm implementation: The multi-source information fusion module uses a deep learning-based multi-source information fusion algorithm, such as an attention-based fusion network, to fuse different types of sensor data. This algorithm automatically learns the relationships between different information sources, highlighting key information and improving the accuracy and reliability of information fusion.

The high-precision material identification module leverages these comprehensive features, combined with pre-trained recognition models, to achieve high-precision identification of various materials.
[0046] Implementation of dynamic sorting path planning algorithm based on reinforcement learning
[0047] Definition of state space, action space, and reward function: The state space includes information such as the location of the material, the location of the obstacle, the location and posture of the robot; the action space includes various movements of the robot, such as moving, rotating, grasping, placing, etc.; the reward function is designed based on factors such as the robot's sorting efficiency, energy consumption, and whether there is a collision. When the robot can complete the sorting task efficiently and safely, a higher reward is given, otherwise a lower reward is given.
[0048] Reinforcement Learning Model Training: The reinforcement learning model training module uses reinforcement learning algorithms, such as the Deep Q-Network (DQN) or the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, to model and train the material sorting process. During training, the robot continuously interacts with the environment, selecting actions based on its current state. After executing these actions, it observes the reward signals and new state reflected by the environment. The optimization algorithm then updates the policy network to maximize the cumulative reward. After repeated training, the robot learns the optimal sorting path planning strategy.
[0049] Dynamic sorting path planning and execution: During the actual sorting process, the dynamic sorting path planning module dynamically plans the optimal sorting path based on the real-time material distribution, obstacle location, and robot motion status, combined with the trained reinforcement learning model. The path information is then sent to the industrial robot at the execution layer to guide the robot to complete the sorting task.

[0051] Task Analysis and Modeling: Based on the material sorting task requirements and production plan, we conduct detailed task analysis and modeling to determine task priority, time requirements, resource requirements, etc. At the same time, we evaluate and model each industrial robot's working capabilities, working scope, and current task status.
[0052] Distributed collaborative optimization algorithm implementation: Using a distributed optimization algorithm, such as the distributed particle swarm optimization algorithm (DPSO) or distributed genetic algorithm (DGA), we construct distributed objective functions and constraints. Objective functions can include maximizing sorting efficiency, minimizing sorting time, and ensuring material sorting accuracy. Constraints include robot capacity limitations, task sequence constraints, and resource constraints. This algorithm collaboratively optimizes the task allocation, work paths, and operation sequence of multiple robots to achieve the optimal task allocation solution and collaborative work strategy.
[0053] Multi-robot Collaborative Work: The Multi-robot Task Allocation and Coordination Module transmits optimized task allocation plans and collaborative work strategies to each industrial robot. During actual work, each robot exchanges information via a real-time communication network, dynamically adjusting its work strategy based on global task requirements and its own status. In the event of anomalies such as task changes or equipment failures, the Multi-robot Task Allocation and Coordination Module promptly reassigns and re-coordinates tasks, ensuring the efficiency and stability of multi-robot collaborative work.

[0055] Sensor Deployment and Data Collection: Accelerometers, gyroscopes, force sensors, and other sensors are installed in key areas of industrial robots, such as joints and end effectors, to monitor the robot's motion and force in real time. These sensors collect data in real time at a set frequency and transmit it over the network to the adaptive control parameter adjustment module in the data processing layer.
[0056] Adaptive Control Algorithm Implementation: The adaptive control parameter adjustment module uses adaptive control algorithms, such as model predictive control (MPC) or fuzzy control algorithms, to calculate real-time adjustments to the robot's motion control parameters based on sensor data. The motion stability control module automatically adjusts the robot's motion control parameters, such as joint torque, velocity, and acceleration, based on these adjustments to adapt to varying workloads and operating environments.
[0057] Improved execution of robot motion stability: The industrial robot at the execution layer adjusts its own motion state according to the control instructions sent by the motion stability control module, improves the stability and reliability of the motion, and reduces material falling and sorting errors caused by unstable motion.

[0059] Data Collection and Storage: The intelligent monitoring and management module, through a data interface with the industrial robot material sorting system, collects various data from the sorting process in real time, such as material identification results, sorting paths, robot motion status, and task completion status. The collected data is formatted and stored in a database, creating a digital archive of the sorting process.
[0060] Data Analysis and Visualization: Utilizing big data analytics technology, we analyze and mine the data stored in the database to extract valuable information, such as sorting efficiency analysis, material identification accuracy statistics, and equipment failure warnings. Through visualization technology, we present analysis results in the form of charts and reports on the intelligent monitoring and management platform interface, providing managers with intuitive and clear sorting process monitoring and decision support.
[0061] Intelligent early warning and fault diagnosis: The intelligent monitoring and management platform features intelligent early warning and fault diagnosis capabilities.

[0062] Example 2
[0063] Example of improving etching precision
[0064] In the etching process of a 14nm chip production line, two sets of etching equipment of the same model were selected for comparison:
[0065] Traditional etching systems use a single ion beam sensor (accuracy ±0.5eV) and fixed parameter control. Post-etch inspection of 100 wafers revealed an average critical dimension deviation of ±8nm, resulting in a 12% scrap rate and requiring frequent manual adjustments.
[0066] Multi-field sensor fusion system: Deploys a five-dimensional sensor matrix (ion beam energy ±0.1eV, angle ±0.05°, beam current density ±0.5μA / cm²; electric field strength ±0.1V / m; gas flow ±0.1sccm). This system uses an attention-based fusion network (four-layer fully connected architecture with 128-64-32-16 neurons) to adjust etching parameters in real time. Under the same conditions, the mean deviation of critical dimensions is controlled to ±1.2nm, the scrap rate is reduced to 2.3%, and production efficiency is increased by 35% without manual intervention.
[0067] Etching uniformity optimization embodiment
[0068] In the 300mm wafer etching scenario, the comparison between the traditional process and the new algorithm is as follows:
[0069] Traditional process group: Using a fixed etching path, the depth difference between the edge and center of the wafer after etching reached ±65nm, and the yield rate was 78%.
[0070] Multimodal data system: Integrates a laser interferometer (accuracy ±0.01μm), an atomic force microscope (resolution ±0.1nm), and a fuzzy control algorithm. By dynamically adjusting the gas flow distribution (formula ΔF = g(Q), where Q represents fused data), the etch depth difference is reduced to ±12nm, the yield rate is increased to 96%, and the etch rate in edge areas is increased by 22%.
[0071] Rate-quality collaborative optimization implementation example
[0072] For the 5nm FinFET etching process:
[0073] Traditional parameter settings: When the etching rate is 25nm / min, the defective rate is 15%, and when the rate is increased to 35nm / min, the defective rate soars to 32%.
[0074] Multi-objective optimization system: Using the PPO reinforcement learning algorithm (clipping coefficient 0.2, value function coefficient 0.5), while ensuring that the key dimension deviation is ≤±2nm and the uniformity deviation is ≤±15nm, the etching rate is stabilized at 42nm / min, the defective rate is controlled at 4.1%, and the overall production capacity is increased by 58%.
