Humanoid Robot Collaborative Lifting Integrating Executable Judgment

Abstract

Humanoid robot collaborative lifting can be used in a variety of scenarios that require repetitive lifting tasks. Most existing studies of humanoid robot collaboration often assume that objects can always be lifted, which may result in damage to both the robot and the object if objects are too heavy to lift. To avoid such situations as much as possible, a collaborative lifting approach integrating executable judgment is proposed. First, a target search and localization method is constructed using monocular vision and marker points to identify the task object. Then, an executable judgment strategy is designed to determine whether the object is overweight or not according to robot force analysis. Finally, a multi-robot joint control model is proposed based on collaborative communication to perform collaborative tasks with different loads based on the judgment results. Experiments on two humanoid robots for different types and weights of targets show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
