    Legged Robots for Object Manipulation: A Review

    Get PDF
    Legged robots can have a unique role in manipulating objects in dynamic, human-centric, or otherwise inaccessible environments. Although most legged robotics research to date typically focuses on traversing these challenging environments, many legged platform demonstrations have also included "moving an object" as a way of doing tangible work. Legged robots can be designed to manipulate a particular type of object (e.g., a cardboard box, a soccer ball, or a larger piece of furniture), by themselves or collaboratively. The objective of this review is to collect and learn from these examples, to both organize the work done so far in the community and highlight interesting open avenues for future work. This review categorizes existing works into four main manipulation methods: object interactions without grasping, manipulation with walking legs, dedicated non-locomotive arms, and legged teams. Each method has different design and autonomy features, which are illustrated by available examples in the literature. Based on a few simplifying assumptions, we further provide quantitative comparisons for the range of possible relative sizes of the manipulated object with respect to the robot. Taken together, these examples suggest new directions for research in legged robot manipulation, such as multifunctional limbs, terrain modeling, or learning-based control, to support a number of new deployments in challenging indoor/outdoor scenarios in warehouses/construction sites, preserved natural areas, and especially for home robotics.Comment: Preprint of the paper submitted to Frontiers in Mechanical Engineerin

    Supervised Autonomous Locomotion and Manipulation for Disaster Response with a Centaur-like Robot

    Mobile manipulation tasks are one of the key challenges in the field of search and rescue (SAR) robotics requiring robots with flexible locomotion and manipulation abilities. Since the tasks are mostly unknown in advance, the robot has to adapt to a wide variety of terrains and workspaces during a mission. The centaur-like robot Centauro has a hybrid legged-wheeled base and an anthropomorphic upper body to carry out complex tasks in environments too dangerous for humans. Due to its high number of degrees of freedom, controlling the robot with direct teleoperation approaches is challenging and exhausting. Supervised autonomy approaches are promising to increase quality and speed of control while keeping the flexibility to solve unknown tasks. We developed a set of operator assistance functionalities with different levels of autonomy to control the robot for challenging locomotion and manipulation tasks. The integrated system was evaluated in disaster response scenarios and showed promising performance.Comment: In Proceedings of IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Madrid, Spain, October 201

    Optimisation of Body-ground Contact for Augmenting Whole-Body Loco-manipulation of Quadruped Robots

    Legged robots have great potential to perform loco-manipulation tasks, yet it is challenging to keep the robot balanced while it interacts with the environment. In this paper we study the use of additional contact points for maximising the robustness of loco-manipulation motions. Specifically, body-ground contact is studied for enhancing robustness and manipulation capabilities of quadrupedal robots. We propose to equip the robot with prongs: small legs rigidly attached to the body which ensure body-ground contact occurs in controllable point-contacts. The effect of these prongs on robustness is quantified by computing the Smallest Unrejectable Force (SUF), a measure of robustness related to Feasible Wrench Polytopes. We apply the SUF to assess the robustness of the system, and propose an effective approximation of the SUF that can be computed at near-real-time speed. We design a hierarchical quadratic programming based whole-body controller that controls stable interaction when the prongs are in contact with the ground. This novel concept of using prongs and the resulting control framework are all implemented on hardware to validate the effectiveness of the increased robustness and newly enabled loco-manipulation tasks, such as obstacle clearance and manipulation of a large object

Nowadays the objectives of the robots are no longer restricted to the automaton in the industrial process but are changing into explorers for hazardous, harsh, uncooperative, and extreme environments. As these robots usually operate in dynamic and unstructured environments, they should be robust, adaptive, and reactive under various changing operation conditions. We propose online hierarchical optimization-based planning and control methodologies for a rescue robot to execute a given mission in such a highly unstructured environment. A large number of degrees of freedom is provided to robots in order to achieve diverse kinematic and dynamic tasks. However, accomplishing such multiple objectives renders on-line reactive motion planning and control problems more difficult to solve due to the incompatible tasks. To address this problem, we exploit a hierarchical structure to precisely resolve conflicts by creating a priority in which every task is achieved as much as possible according to the levels. In particular, we concentrate on the reasoning about the task regularization to ensure the convergence and robustness of a solution in the face of singularity. As robotic systems with real-time motion planners or controllers often execute unrehearsed missions, a desired task cannot always be driven to a singularity free configuration. We develop a generic solver for regularized hierarchical quadratic programming without resorting to any off-the-shelf QP solver to take advantage of the null-space projections for computational efficiency. Therefore, the underlying principles are thoroughly investigated. The robust optimal solution is obtained under both equality and inequality tasks or constraints while addressing all problems resulting from the regularization. Especially as a singular value decomposition centric approach is leveraged, all hierarchical solutions and Lagrange multipliers for properly handling the inequality constraints are analytically acquired in a recursive procedure. The proposed algorithm works fast enough to be used as a practical means of real-time control system, so that it can be used for online motion planning, motion control, and interaction force control in a single hierarchical optimization. Core system design concepts of the rescue robot are presented. The goals of the robot are to safely extract a patient and to dispose a dangerous object instead of humans. The upper body is designed humanoid in form with replaceable modularized dual arms. The lower body is featured with a hybrid tracked and legged mobile platform to simultaneously acquire versatile manipulability and all-terrain mobility. Thus, the robot can successfully execute a driving task, dangerous object manipulation, and casualty extraction missions by changing the pose and modularized equipments in an optimized manner. Throughout the dissertation, all proposed methods are validated through extensive numerical simulations and experimental tests. We highlight precisely how the rescue robot can execute a casualty extraction and a dangerous object disposal mission both in indoor and outdoor environments that none of the existing robots has performed.์ตœ๊ทผ์— ๋“ฑ์žฅํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์„ธ๋Œ€์˜ ๋กœ๋ด‡์€ ๊ธฐ์กด์—๋Š” ์ธ๊ฐ„๋งŒ์ด ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ๋˜ ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ์ผ์„ ๋กœ๋ด‡ ๋˜ํ•œ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ์—ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ DARPA Robotics

    Motion Primitives and Planning for Robots with Closed Chain Systems and Changing Topologies

    When operating in human environments, a robot should use predictable motions that allow humans to trust and anticipate its behavior. Heuristic search-based planning offers predictable motions and guarantees on completeness and sub-optimality of solutions. While search-based planning on motion primitive-based (lattice-based) graphs has been used extensively in navigation, application to high-dimensional state-spaces has, until recently, been thought impractical. This dissertation presents methods we have developed for applying these graphs to mobile manipulation, specifically for systems which contain closed chains. The formation of closed chains in tasks that involve contacts with the environment may reduce the number of available degrees-of-freedom but adds complexity in terms of constraints in the high-dimensional state-space. We exploit the dimensionality reduction inherent in closed kinematic chains to get efficient search-based planning. Our planner handles changing topologies (switching between open and closed-chains) in a single plan, including what transitions to include and when to include them. Thus, we can leverage existing results for search-based planning for open chains, combining open and closed chain manipulation planning into one framework. Proofs regarding the framework are introduced for the application to graph-search and its theoretical guarantees of optimality. The dimensionality-reduction is done in a manner that enables finding optimal solutions to low-dimensional problems which map to correspondingly optimal full-dimensional solutions. We apply this framework to planning for opening and navigating through non-spring and spring-loaded doors using a Willow Garage PR2. The framework motivates our approaches to the Atlas humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics for both stationary manipulation and quasi-static walking, as a closed chain is formed when both feet are on the ground
