Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a redundant manipulator, as well as a manipulator system and a control device, which is set up for controlling a redundant manipulator according to the method.
  • the method includes determining a trajectory of the manipulator and reducing the effective mass of the manipulator.
  • Manipulators are machines that can physically interact with their environment. They are used in industrial manufacturing, automation and in the home environment, for example in the field of ambient assisted living. Typical manipulators are articulated arm or industrial robots that have several freely programmable axes of motion. They serve to guide and / or edit end effectors, such as tools or workpieces.
  • Redundant manipulators are characterized by the fact that they have at least one degree of freedom more than is necessary for the execution of the actual task. If, for example, an end effector is to be positioned freely in space, six degrees of freedom are required for this purpose. Therefore, typical industrial robots have six freely programmable axes of motion to position an end effector freely in space. A corresponding redundant industrial robot comprises at least seven degrees of freedom, i. at least seven axes of motion.
  • Motion axes can be designed as linear axes or axes of rotation.
  • the number of axes of movement of a redundant manipulator depends on the application. If, for example, only one linear movement in one direction is to be carried out by means of the manipulator, a movement axis for carrying out the actual task is sufficient.
  • a manipulator which should only execute a linear movement in one direction, which has two linear axes, would be a redundant manipulator.
  • the manipulator moves trajectories.
  • the planning of the trajectory is typically of one Assumed control device which is adapted to control the manipulator.
  • axis angles (or axis positions) and / or axis angular velocities are specified for each movement axis.
  • the actual trajectory (trajectory) is calculated by the control device.
  • the control device sends corresponding control commands to the manipulator to start the previously calculated trajectory by means of the manipulator.
  • the manipulator then assumes the commanded axis angle (or axis position) for the respective movement axis.
  • Motion axes clearly determinable when a trajectory is to be traversed by means of the manipulator.
  • redundant manipulators there are several solutions or axis angle combinations or configurations in order to start the planned trajectory.
  • the redundancy resolution in conventional redundant manipulator path planning methods often results in undesirable non-fluid motions.
  • MTK systems human-robot collaboration systems
  • Manipulators / robots In MRK systems, e.g. The high performance of a manipulator combined with the sensory abilities of a human being. Possible applications can be found, for example, in industrial production, such as in automobile production or ambient assisted living. Typical applications are lifting and mounting devices in which a
  • MRK systems assume that the person who collaborates with the manipulator is not himself endangered by the manipulator.
  • machine safety of Category 3 according to ISO 13849 is to be achieved in MRK systems.
  • an MRI system is considered safe.
  • the speed of the manipulator is often throttled, so that in collisions between humans and manipulators no Injury or serious injury to a human being.
  • this greatly limits the scope and, above all, the efficiency.
  • extensive security measures are necessary.
  • the object of the present invention is to at least partially eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and to provide a method for controlling a manipulator (or a manipulator system and / or a control device), which enables efficient movement sequences and at the same time minimizes a potential hazard by the manipulator.
  • a manipulator or a manipulator system and / or a control device
  • the object is achieved at least in part by a method according to claim 1, by a control device according to claim 9, a computer-readable medium according to claim 10 and by a manipulator system according to claim 11.
  • the object is achieved by a method for controlling a redundant manipulator, wherein the manipulator has a plurality of axes of movement and the method comprises the following steps:
  • Determining a primary task for controlling the manipulator comprising traversing a trajectory of the manipulator, in particular a trajectory of the tool center point of the manipulator;
  • the secondary task comprises a reduction of the effective mass and / or the effective inertia, in particular the effective mass and / or the effective inertia of an end effector of the manipulator;
  • the primary task involves tracing a trajectory.
  • the trajectory can either be predetermined or planned by a control device.
  • Specified trajectories are, for example, when a trajectory has been "taught” by manually manipulating or guiding the manipulator, and the trajectory recorded trajectory recorded.
  • Trajectory can then be traversed again.
  • the starting point can correspond to the current position of the Manipulator or the Tool Center Point (TCP) of the manipulator so that only one desired end point has to be specified.
  • TCP describes the tool position / workpiece position of a manipulator and is an imaginary reference point of the tool / workpiece. Starting from the planned or predetermined trajectory, which is typically present in Cartesian coordinates, the axis angles of the axes of motion are then calculated.
  • This calculation can be done by means of inverse kinematics.
  • the inverse kinematics allows for a manipulator to determine the axle angle of the
  • Motion axes based on the pose (position and orientation) of the end effector (or Tool Center Point).
  • the last term of the kinematic chain i. the end effector
  • the other links of the kinematic chain ie the axes of movement of the manipulator, must then assume an associated pose according to their degrees of freedom. This can be compared with the human arm, which forms a kinematic chain with its joints: If one puts the hand in a certain pose, for example, if an object is grasped, the wrist, elbow and shoulder automatically assume a certain position as well. Exactly these positions (or axis angle) must be determined via the inverse kinematics.
  • the secondary task comprises a reduction of the effective
  • Effective mass / effective inertia is a directional measure of the kinetic energy that a manipulator has in a defined direction, typically the direction of movement given by the trajectory.
  • the manipulation of the manipulator is typically carried out by means of a control device which is assigned to the manipulator.
  • a controller may include hardware and / or software.
  • the (first) secondary task may include other (second or third, etc.) conditions in addition to a reduction of the effective mass. These are, for example, the achievement of a short cycle time for traversing the trajectory according to the primary task, the compliance with certain axle angles and / or a working space and / or the energy-efficient traversing of the trajectory. Other secondary tasks can also be determined. A weighting of the secondary tasks, for example, allows a substantial reduction of the effective mass, while sufficiently short cycle times can be realized. Especially with contrary secondary tasks, the weighting can achieve at least partial fulfillment of all secondary tasks.
  • the primary task may be independent of the at least one secondary task, the primary task preferably having a higher priority than the at least one secondary task. The independence of the primary and secondary tasks simplifies the calculation of the axis angle and / or axis angular velocities and in particular leads to fluid movements of the manipulator, since no conflicts due to undesirable dependencies

  • redundant manipulators are distinguished by the fact that they have at least one more degree of freedom than is necessary for the execution of the primary task, it can generally be determined that, depending on the type of redundant manipulator, "x" degrees of freedom (or, respectively, “X” axes of motion) and for solving the one or more secondary tasks “y" degrees of freedom (or “y” redundant axes of motion) are provided.
