A hybrid visual servo control method for simultaneously controlling a nonholonomic mobile and a manipulator Research Articles

Wei Li, Rong Xiong,li_wei_666@163.com,rxiong@zju.edu.cn

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2021, Volume 22, Issue 2,   Pages 141-286 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1900460

Abstract: Visual servo control rules that refer to the control methods of robot motion planning using image data acquired from the camera mounted on the robot have been widely applied to the motion control of robotic arms or mobile robots. The methods are usually classified as image-based visual servo, position-based visual servo, and (HVS) control rules. enhances the working range and flexibility of robotic arms. However, there is little work on applying visual servo control rules to the motion of the whole robot. We propose an HVS motion control method for a robot which combines a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic arm with a nonholonomic mobile base. Based on the kinematic differential equations of the robot, the matrix of the whole robot is derived, and the HVS control equation is derived using the whole Jacobian matrix combined with position and visual image information. The distance between the gripper and target is calculated through the observation of the marker by a camera mounted on the gripper. The differences between the positions of the markers ’ feature points and the expected positions of them in the image coordinate system are also calculated. These differences are substituted into the control equation to obtain the speed control law of each degree of freedom of the robot. To avoid the position error caused by observation, we also introduce the to correct the positions and orientations of the end of the manipulator. Finally, the proposed algorithm is validated on a platform consisting of a Bulldog chassis, a UR5 robotic arm, and a ZED camera.

A novel shape memory alloy actuated soft gripper imitated hand behavior

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2022, Volume 17, Issue 4, doi: 10.1007/s11465-022-0700-8

Abstract: The limited length shrinkage of shape memory alloy (SMA) wire seriously limits the motion range of SMA-based gripper. In this paper, a new soft finger without silicone gel was designed based on pre bent SMA wire, and the finger was back to its original shape by heating SMA wire, rather than relying only on heat exchange with the environment. Through imitating palm movement, a structure with adjustable spacing between fingers was made using SMA spring and rigid spring. The hook structure design at the fingertip can form self-locking to further improve the load capacity of gripper. Through the long thin rod model, the relationship of the initial pre bent angle on the bending angle and output force of the finger was analyzed. The stress-strain model of SMA spring was established for the selection of rigid spring. Three grasping modes were proposed to adapt to the weight of the objects. Through the test of the gripper, it was proved that the gripper had large bending amplitude, bending force, and response rate. The design provides a new idea for the lightweight design and convenient design of soft gripper based on SMA.

A virtual reality system for arm and hand rehabilitation

Zhiqiang LUO, Chee Kian LIM, I-Ming CHEN, Song Huat YEO

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2011, Volume 6, Issue 1,   Pages 23-32 doi: 10.1007/s11465-011-0202-6

Abstract:

This paper presents a virtual reality (VR) system for upper limb rehabilitation. The system incorporates two motion track components, the Arm Suit and the Smart Glove which are composed of a range of the optical linear encoders (OLE) and the inertial measurement units (IMU), and two interactive practice applications designed for driving users to perform the required functional and non-functional motor recovery tasks. We describe the technique details about the two motion track components and the rational to design two practice applications. The experiment results show that, compared with the marker-based tracking system, the Arm Suit can accurately track the elbow and wrist positions. The repeatability of the Smart Glove on measuring the five fingers’ movement can be satisfied. Given the low cost, high accuracy and easy installation, the system thus promises to be a valuable complement to conventional therapeutic programs offered in rehabilitation clinics and at home.
