Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical arms, in particular to a mechanical arm external torque estimation method.
Background
With the continuous application and development of robots in human society, the situation that people and robots are required to interact with each other to achieve a target task is unavoidable in the aspect of cooperation of the people and robots. Therefore, interactive control is widely used in unstructured production, such as industrial sanding, collision detection, drag teaching, and the like. The mechanical arm is in contact with the external environment in the scenes, so that the effective measurement or estimation of the external moment of the mechanical arm is of great importance.
Typically, the measurement of interaction force can be achieved by an end six-dimensional force/moment sensor or a joint moment sensor, which is also a type of external force measurement method commonly used at present. However, the price of force/moment sensors is typically high, providing each robotic arm with such a sensor adds significantly to the cost and reliability. Unlike the method based on force/moment sensors as interaction force measurement, sensorless external moment estimation based on mechanical arm dynamics model and observer design provides a solution for this. If the interaction force between the mechanical arm and the external environment can be estimated through the torque observer with higher precision, the data acquisition is simple and feasible, the equipment cost can be saved, and the implementation is easy.
The above related work has been studied extensively in recent years, as in document HADDADIN S, DE LUCA A, ALBU-SCH Ä FFER A, robot protocols: A survey on detection, isolation, and identification [ J ]. IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2017, 6: 1292-1312 uses motor torque, position, speed and acceleration information provided by the robot controller to make an estimate of the external torque. This calculation method is easy to implement, but since in actual engineering acceleration information is typically obtained by a second differentiation of the position signal, this will lead to an amplification of the measurement noise. For this purpose, reference NA J, JING B, HUANG Y, et al Unknown system dynamics estimator for motion control of nonlinear robotic systems [ J ]. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2019, 67 (5): 3850-3859, by designing filters to reduce the effect of noise on the torque estimation effect, this also indirectly leads to delay problems in the estimated signal, which is detrimental to high dynamic response situations for force control. In order to avoid the limitation caused by directly using the acceleration information, many students further research observation methods based on a disturbance observer, an extended state observer, a sliding mode observer, a Kalman filter and the like so as to improve the estimation effect of the external moment of the mechanical arm. However, such methods have problems associated with errors in force estimation and robot pose configuration, and in addition, their fixed observer gain has certain limitations on the observation effect of external forces under different conditions.
In summary, the invention designs a generalized momentum observer based on a self-adaptive strategy, and realizes the external moment estimation of the mechanical arm in an uncertainty environment so as to solve the defects of the existing external moment estimation method.

Detailed Description
It is to be understood that, according to the technical solution of the present invention, those skilled in the art may propose various alternative structural modes and implementation modes without changing the true spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, the following detailed description and drawings are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed.
An embodiment according to the invention is shown in connection with fig. 1. A mechanical arm external torque estimation method comprises the following steps:
and S1, establishing a mechanical arm dynamics model by adopting a Newton-Euler method, wherein the dynamics model is expressed as a set of coupling differential equations in a nonlinear matrix form.
The mechanical arm dynamics equation can be used to determine the force versus motion relationship, i.e., calculate mechanical arm motion such as position, velocity, acceleration information, etc., from given moment information. Generally, the mechanical arm dynamics system has serious nonlinearity and strong coupling, and the equation of the dynamics model is as follows:
（1）；
in the above-mentioned method, the step of,（Nthe number of joints of the mechanical arm) respectively represents joint position information, speed information and acceleration information of the mechanical arm; />Representing a symmetric positive definite inertia matrix; />Representing the coriolis force and centrifugal force matrices; />Representing a gravity matrix;frepresents friction, which includes coulomb friction and viscous friction; />Respectively represent the driving moment and the external moment of the joint motor.
The friction model considered in the present invention is expressed as:

In the mechanical arm dynamic model type (1),and->The following kinetics exist:
（3）；
wherein,is->Is a transpose of (a).
And S2, identifying the mechanical arm dynamic model by adopting an integral parameter identification method, namely carrying out parameter linearization treatment on the coupling differential equation.
Since there is always a certain error between the nominal kinetic model parameters and the actual model, this will result in a non-zero result of the actual moment estimate due to model errors even if the robot arm is not acted upon by external forces. To reduce the effect of model errors on observations, it is necessary to obtain a more accurate kinetic model for external moment estimation. Because the mechanical arm has unknown disturbance in the normal operation process and the model has strong nonlinear characteristics, the mechanical arm dynamics adopts an integral parameter identification method, namely, the dynamics equation (1) is subjected to parameter linearization treatment, and the mechanical arm dynamics is expressed in the form of the following parameter linearization separation:
（4）；
wherein μ is a column vector containing standard kinetic parameters, and consists of parameters of each link of the mechanical arm, and taking each link as an example, the column vector contains 15 parameters: inertial parametersJoint quality->First order moment of mass->Motor moment of inertia->Coefficient of friction->、/>The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the H is a regression matrix, which is related to only the arm joint position, velocity and acceleration information. It is noted that the regression matrix H is a non-full order matrix, including zero columns and linear correlation columns, so that the full parameter set cannot be identified. Thus, by reorganizing and sorting the partial linear independent columns in H, it is possible to obtain:
（5）；
in the method, in the process of the invention,a subset of the maximum linear independent columns of the regression matrix; />Is a kinetic minimum parameter set.
For identification purposesBy giving an optimized excitation track of the mechanical arm, information of relevant parameters such as joint motor torque, joint angle, joint angular speed and the like is obtained online during the operation of the mechanical arm, and the mechanical arm is combined with the method (5) to perform the method (I) by using a least square method in an offline state>Is a single-chip microcomputer. Further, by combining the dynamics model characteristics, the dynamics parameter matrix can be obtainedRespectively extracting the external force moment of the mechanical arm and providing a model foundation for the estimation of the external force moment of the mechanical arm.
And step S3, defining and deriving the generalized momentum of the mechanical arm, and combining the identified dynamic model and dynamic characteristic formula to obtain a generalized momentum system model and a generalized momentum system discretization model in a continuous time domain.
The generalized momentum of a mechanical arm is defined as （6）；
The generalized momentum p is derived from time to time by the formula
（7）；
Combining the dynamics model (1) and the dynamics characteristic (3) and substituting the dynamics model into the model (7) to obtain a generalized momentum system model formula under a continuous time domain, wherein the generalized momentum system model formula is as follows:
（8）；
from equation (8), it can be seen that the mechanical arm dynamics equation after the generalized momentum is introduced will not introduce acceleration information, so as to avoid noise interference caused by the secondary differentiation of the mechanical arm joint position information.
Further, define auxiliary variablesSubstituting into the model (8) to obtain a discretization model of the generalized momentum system, wherein the formula is as follows:
（9）；
in the method, in the process of the invention,and->Respectively represent generalized momentum p and external moment +.>At the position ofkAnd the sampling value of time, and h is the sampling period.
And S4, constructing an external moment observer based on the generalized momentum system discretization model.
The formula of the external moment observer is as follows:
（10）；
in the method, in the process of the invention,and->Respectively->And->At the position ofkObservation of time of day->For generalized momentum viewError measurement, gain parameter->A symmetric matrix with each element larger than 0; definition of the definitionEstimating an error for the external moment;
combining equation (9) and equation (10), the observer error dynamics equation satisfies:
（11）；
wherein I is an identity matrix, and the proper choice is selectedThe observer error dynamics equation is globally asymptotically convergent and the gain parameter +.>And->Two parameters affecting the observer output overshoot and buffeting, respectively.
And S5, designing a self-adaptive fuzzy gain strategy according to the change of the external moment observation error, and dynamically adjusting gain parameters in the external moment observer to obtain a fuzzy self-adaptive generalized momentum discrete observer.
Because uncertainty exists when the mechanical arm interacts with an unknown environment, a relatively conservative fixed gain is generally selected for ensuring the robustness of external torque observation, which leads to the problem of buffeting when the system enters a sliding mode. In addition, a fixed gain is ideal for constant external moment estimation, but there are limitations to time-varying scenarios where the robot arm interacts frequently with the environment. Therefore, according to the change of the external torque observation error, the self-adaptive fuzzy gain strategy is designed to realize the dynamic adjustment of gain parameters and the external torque observer, and more accurate external torque estimation is realized in the interaction of the mechanical arm and the uncertain environment.
Specifically, in step S5, the dynamic adjustment of the gain parameter in the external torque observer is performed, including:
(1) Expert experience is obtained and is compiled into fuzzy logic rules.
(2) And according to the fuzzy logic rule, selecting Sugeno type fuzzy inference algorithm to construct a two-dimensional fuzzy logic control system.
(3) Will observe errorsAnd the amount of change in the observation error +.>Respectively used as fuzzy input of a two-dimensional fuzzy logic control system, obtaining fuzzy output after reasoning, and adding the fuzzy output to gain parameters +.>Andis a kind of medium.
The specific implementation method of the fuzzy logic control comprises the following steps:
in the invention, sugeno type fuzzy inference algorithm is selected as a fuzzy inference model, and a fuzzy logic control tool box in MATLAB is adopted for design, and the specific design method is shown in the use description of the MATLAB tool box. The fuzzy inputs E, CE of the two-dimensional fuzzy logic control system are respectively selected as the observation errorsAnd->The output U is designed as a gain parameterAnd->The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the In the experiment, fuzzy input in Sugeno type fuzzy reasoning algorithm is determined according to actual working conditionsThe input ambiguity set is { NB (negative big), NM (negative small), Z (zero), PM (positive small), PB (positive big) }, and the output ambiguity set is { PS (negative big), S (negative small), M (zero), B (positive small), PB (positive big) }. In the embodiment of the present invention, the curved surface diagram of fuzzy input E, CE and output is shown in fig. 2, wherein the gain parameters and the fuzzy logic rule design are consistent, as shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 fuzzy logic rules
It can be seen that when the input amount E, CE increases, the fuzzy logic rule can automatically calculate to obtain a higher gain, so that the external torque estimated value can be ensured to more quickly follow the change of the true value; otherwise, the gain is reduced in a self-adaptive manner, so that buffeting is reduced, and the observation precision of external torque is ensured.
And S6, calculating and obtaining an external moment estimated value of the mechanical arm based on the fuzzy self-adaptive generalized momentum discrete observer.
In order to verify the effectiveness of the mechanical arm external torque observation method provided by the invention, an industrial robot algorithm development platform is constructed for experimental verification. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) And constructing an industrial robot algorithm development platform.
Specifically, the industrial robot algorithm development platform comprises a robot body, a servo driving unit and a motion control unit; the robot body is a six-degree-of-freedom serial mechanical arm, the tail end of the robot body is provided with a six-dimensional force/torque sensor, and the tail end of the sensor is provided with a vertical grip, so that the user can conveniently perform man-machine interaction with the mechanical arm; the servo driving unit is used for realizing control of the permanent magnet synchronous motor of the mechanical arm joint and has different control modes aiming at the torque, the speed and the position of the joint motor; the motion control unit is realized by adopting a multiple-function controller, and is communicated with the servo driving unit through an industrial Ethernet EtherCAT bus, so that microsecond real-time control and operation on a plurality of servos can be realized.
The algorithm development in the experiment is realized by adopting a model-based design method, and the method comprises the following steps: and (3) carrying out algorithm development in a MATLAB/Simulink environment, generating a C++ module which can be read and imported by a ploidy controller through a TE1400 plug-in, and finally realizing algorithm verification in TwainCAT software.
(2) Based on an industrial robot algorithm development platform, acquiring moment information acquired by a servo driving unit, and calibrating a torque correction coefficient by using a measurement true value of a moment sensor;
because the torque information collected by the servo driver is calculated according to the motor current and the torque coefficient set in the driver, an unknown torque correction coefficient k exists between the calculated result and the real torque value. In order to achieve a moment calculation closer to the true value, the torque correction coefficient is calibrated experimentally by means of measured true values of six-dimensional force/moment sensors mounted at the end of the arm.
The following approximate relationship exists between the motor side final output torque and the motor internal current:
（12）

The nominal torque coefficient and reduction ratio of the robot arm are typically provided by the robot arm manufacturer.
The calibration method comprises the following steps: firstly, controlling a mechanical arm to run on load for a section of preset low-speed track, synchronously acquiring external force moment value calculated in real time by a mechanical arm dynamics model and true value acquired by a force/moment sensor during running, and mapping the true value to each joint through Jacobian matrix operation, thereby realizing torque correction coefficientkIs defined by the calibration of (a).
The torque coefficient, reduction ratio and calculated torque correction coefficient of the mechanical arm are shown in table 2:
table 2 torque coefficient, reduction ratio, and torque correction coefficient
(3) And acquiring and recording the position and the driving moment of the mechanical arm on line in real time, and identifying the minimum parameter set of the dynamic model by adopting a least square method in an off-line state to obtain a model identification result.
The experimental result is shown in fig. 3, and the six graphs in fig. 3 respectively correspond to moment values of six joints of the mechanical arm, wherein a solid line represents real torque acquired in the process of executing an excitation track, and a dotted line corresponds to calculated torque of a dynamics model identified by the experiment. From the error curve (dash-dot line), it can be seen that the error of the dynamic model fluctuates in a very small interval, and meets the experimental requirements.
(4) And carrying out a section of preset track task by controlling the mechanical arm load, and calculating to obtain external torque estimation results of various algorithms.
In order to analyze the observation effect of the external moment of the mechanical arm in the working process, a section of preset track task is executed in an experiment by controlling the loading of the mechanical arm, and the three-dimensional running track of the tail end of the mechanical arm in the space is shown in fig. 4.
In order to verify the superiority of the observation method provided by the invention, the external torque estimation results of three algorithms are compared in experiments: a generalized momentum observer GMO, a fixed gain generalized momentum discrete observer GSTO and a fuzzy self-adaptive generalized momentum discrete observer AGSTO; the algorithm parameters are designed as follows:
GMO：=diag{25,25,25,25,25,25}；GSTO：/>=diag{54,54,54,54,54,54}，/>=diag{80,80,80,80,80,80},/>=diag{80,80,80,80,80,80}；AGSTO：/>consistent with GSTO parameters, +.>、/>And calculating according to the fuzzy logic control module.
The implementation results of the algorithms in the experiment are shown in fig. 5 (based on the comparison between the estimates of the external torque of the GMO (broken line), the GSTO (dot-dash line) and the AGSTO (dot-line), and the experimental results of the 1 st to 6 th joints of the mechanical arm are respectively corresponding to the (a) to (f) of fig. 5, wherein the solid line represents the measurement truth value), and compared with the other two algorithms, the designed AGSTO has higher observation precision, is closer to the measurement truth value of the six-dimensional force/torque sensor, and can better reflect the change condition of the external torque. Notably, the small chatter of the observed values can be found in the graph, because the proposed AGSTO can adaptively adjust the gain of the observer, but in order to ensure that the system still has certain robustness in steady state, the gain is not set small enough, so that there is certain chatter; at the same time, noise present in the experiment is also a factor.
(5) And (3) evaluating the effectiveness of the external torque estimation result by combining various performance indexes, wherein the performance indexes comprise a maximum absolute value error, a root mean square error and deviation.
To further quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm, the following algorithm performance index was calculated: maximum absolute value error (MAE), root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and OFFSET (OFFSET), wherein the maximum absolute value error is the absolute value of the maximum error of the measured value and the true value, the root mean square error is the root of the square of the error of the measured value and the true value, and the OFFSET is the absolute value of the average of the error of the measured value and the true value. Table 3 shows the determination of several algorithmsAs a result of the quantitative performance index,to->Respectively represent the external moment of the first joint to the sixth joint of the mechanical arm. Obviously, the proposed observation method is closer to the measurement truth. However, it should be noted that although there is a certain improvement over the conventional algorithm, the algorithm proposed by the present invention still has a certain estimation error due to the unmodeled dynamics and the noise, but the result is acceptable for applications with low force control accuracy requirements, such as drag teaching.

Based on an AGSTO (fuzzy self-adaptive generalized momentum discrete observer) algorithm designed by the invention, an admittance control algorithm is adopted to carry out dragging teaching verification on the mechanical arm under the condition of a weak/moment sensor. The man-machine interaction scene is realized by adopting an admittance control algorithm, wherein the admittance control algorithm is as follows: the formula of the admittance control algorithm is as follows:

During the dragging operation of the mechanical arm, the contact force curves along the x-direction and the y-direction are shown in fig. 6 (a) and (b), respectively, where (a) and (b) correspond to the traction forces in the x-direction and the y-direction of the cartesian coordinate system, respectively. The broken line is the true value of the traction force in the x and y directions of the Cartesian coordinate system measured by the sensor, the solid line is the calculated value of the AGSTO observation result according to the invention, in the figure, the measurement result of the six-dimensional force/moment sensor is taken as the true value, and the result of the proposed external force moment estimation method can be seen to be effective.
