📝 摘要(中文)
在操控变形线性物体(DLOs)的实际应用中,约束环境普遍存在,DLO和机器人运动均受到限制。由于DLO的高度可变形性、双臂机器人的高自由度以及三维复杂环境,这一任务面临高维度和高度约束的挑战。此外,由于DLO模型的强非线性和多样性,规划所需的准确模型往往不可用,导致规划路径的不可靠。本文提出了一种补充框架,通过全身规划和控制,使用适当的DLO模型表示,旨在高效、准确地完成DLO的全局移动和成型。首先,提出了一种基于简化DLO能量模型的全局规划器,以高效找到可行解。然后,提出了一种闭环操控方案,结合模型预测控制器,实时调整机器人运动以增强鲁棒性和准确性。实验表明,该框架在复杂任务中表现出显著的效率、可推广性和可靠性。

📄 摘要(原文)
Constrained environments are common in practical applications of manipulating deformable linear objects (DLOs), where movements of both DLOs and robots should be constrained. This task is high-dimensional and highly constrained owing to the highly deformable DLOs, dual-arm robots with high degrees of freedom, and 3-D complex environments, which render global planning challenging. Furthermore, accurate DLO models needed by planning are often unavailable owing to their strong nonlinearity and diversity, resulting in unreliable planned paths. This article focuses on the global moving and shaping of DLOs in constrained environments by dual-arm robots. The main objectives are 1) to efficiently and accurately accomplish this task, and 2) to achieve generalizable and robust manipulation of various DLOs. To this end, we propose a complementary framework with whole-body planning and control using appropriate DLO model representations. First, a global planner is proposed to efficiently find feasible solutions based on a simplified DLO energy model, which considers the full system states and all constraints to plan more reliable paths. Then, a closed-loop manipulation scheme is proposed to compensate for the modeling errors and enhance the robustness and accuracy, which incorporates a model predictive controller that real-time adjusts the robot motion based on an adaptive DLO motion model. The key novelty is that our framework can efficiently solve the high-dimensional problem subject to multiple constraints and generalize to various DLOs without elaborate model identifications. Experiments demonstrate that our framework can accomplish considerably more complicated tasks than existing works, with significantly higher efficiency, generalizability, and reliability.
