Physics-based cooperative robotic digital twin framework for contactless delivery motion planning

초록

Collaborative tasks in multiple systems have attracted considerable attention in contemporary manufacturing environments. Collaborative robots are representative agents for various collaborative industrial tasks. This study focuses on contactless delivery by considering multiple agents. A contactless delivery operation must be performed with well-synchronized cooperation among the sender, a receiver, and flying dynamics of the deliverable. The most challenging task is to predict the catching point of a thrown package by considering both collaborative robots. Accurate catching-point prediction and relevant operations were achieved using the proposed physics-informed neural network-based hybrid multi-stream deep learning framework. Various cooperative environments were considered using multi-modal input data and manufacturing conditions. The proposed framework incorporates these constraints, and the prediction is guided by flying dynamics and trajectory data. The effectiveness of the proposed framework was demonstrated by implementing multi-agent and related manufacturing environments in a digital twin system. The effectiveness of the proposed framework was proven experimentally using analyses and comparisons with existing machine learning methods.
