This study introduces a bioinspired learning-based motion-force hybrid control (LMFC) framework for robots. It achieves precise, compliant control in constrained environments by unifying learning and kinematic control.
Area of Science:
- Robotics
- Control Theory
- Bio-inspired Systems
Background:
- Biological systems exhibit adaptive motion coordination.
- Robotic manipulators require precise and compliant control for dexterous interaction.
- Physically constrained environments pose challenges for robotic control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a bioinspired control strategy for precise and compliant motion-force coordination in robotic manipulators.
- To enhance robotic robustness and precision in constrained environments.
- To enable embodied intelligence and dexterous interaction.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a learning-based motion-force hybrid control (LMFC) framework.
- Formulated motion-force coordination as a time-varying quadratic programming (TVQP) problem.
- Integrated an RNN-based controller for adaptive learning and online parameter estimation.
Main Results:
- The LMFC framework effectively regulates motion and interaction forces under incomplete kinematic information.
- Practical constraints (joint limits, orientation, obstacles) were incorporated at the acceleration level.
- The RNN controller mitigated joint drift and estimated uncertain kinematic parameters online.
Conclusions:
- The proposed LMFC framework demonstrates effectiveness and practicality for adaptive and compliant robotic control.
- The approach enhances robotic capabilities in constraint-rich environments.
- Bio-inspired strategies offer significant potential for advanced robotic applications.
