1 Use of Colour and Shae Constrants n Vson-based Valve Oeraton b Robot De Xu ; Mn Tan ; Zemn Jang & Huosheng Hu Ke Laborator of Comle Sstems and Intellgene Sene, Insttute of Automaton, Chnese Aadem of Senes, Bejng 00080, P.R. Chna, ude@omss.a.a.n Deartment of Comuter Sene, Unverst of Esse, Colhester CO4 3SQ, Unted Kngdom, hhu@esse.a.uk Abstrat: Ths aer rooses a new strateg for a humanod robot to aroah and oerate a valve based on olour and shae onstrants. It onssts of four stages, namel rough base aroahng, fne base aroahng, rough hand aroahng and fne hand aroahng and grasng. The robot estmates the objet s oston usng ts stereo-vson at the frst stage. A new vsual ostonng method s used to determne the valve s oston and ose n the robot s frame n the seond stage. When ts hands are near the valve, a vsual servong method s emloed to ath the handle of the valve va ameras n end-effetors. The advantages of both ee-n-head and ee-to-hand sstems are eloted. Eermental results are resented to verf the effetveness of the roosed method. Kewords: Vsual ostonng, vsual ontrol, hand-ee sstem, autonomous manulaton, humanod robot.. Introduton Hand-ee sstems s wdel used n robots alatons, whh nlude two tes: one s an ee-nhand sstem (EIHS that has ameras nstalled on and moved wth hands, and the other s an ee-to-hand sstem (ETHS that has ameras that do not move wth hands (Flandn 000. EIHS s ver oular n the area of ndustral robots. When a manulator aroahes a target, the dstane between the amera and the target s redued, and the measurement error of the amera s dereased. Vsual ontrol methods n an EIHS are dvded nto three tes, namel mage-based, oston-based or hbrd (a ombnaton of both. The mage-based vsual ontrol method an effetvel elmnate amera albraton error beause of the losed loo establshed n the mage sae. On the other hand, the absolute measurement error n ostonbased vsual ontrol s dramatall redued whle a manulator s lose to a target. The same stuaton haens under the hbrd vsual ontrol method (Hager 996, Chaumette 000, Corke 000, Zhu 000, Wells 00. However, EIHS has a vtal drawbak,.e. the objet annot be guaranteed n the vew feld of the ameras at all tme, eseall durng the ose adjustment of the hand at a long range (Hager 996. In ontrast, ETHS an be effetvel used n humanod robots and moble manulators that oerate n a large work sae. When the robot s far from a target, t travels toward t and stos at a lose range. Then, aordng to vsual measurements, the manulator aroahes the target and manulates t. To ensure that the end-effetor an reah the target auratel, some researhers have desgned seal marks whh are nstalled on the endeffetor and the target (Han 00, Cardenas 003. The aroahng task s realed through losed loo ontrol of end-effetors. However, beause the target or markers ma be artall bloked durng aroahng or manulaton, mage-based or hbrd vsual ontrol methods ma not be able to brng the manulator to the target auratel. As we know, the oston of an objet n 3D sae an be alulated from two mage onts usng stereo ameras and aordng to the rojetng vew lnes. The lak of onstrants, errors n albraton and errors n mage oordnates of mathng onts result n large errors durng objet ostonng and ose estmaton. B usng shae onstrants of an objet and ts multle magng onts, ostonng aura, eseall ose estmaton aura, an be nreased and the nfluene of the last fator an be artl elmnated (Bartol 00. B ombnng ETHS and EIHS, a humanod robot ould use ts hands to reah and manulate an objet auratel. In ths aer, the advantages of both ee-to-hand and ee-n-hand sstems are full eloted n the develoment of a new ostonng method. The blokng roblem for the ee-to-hand sstem s effetvel avoded sne ameras on the head are atve. The roblem of losng targets n the feld of vew for an ee-n-hand sstem s resolved, and end-effetors onl adjust ther oston n a small range. The rest of ths aer s organed as follows. Seton ntrodues our humanod robot and the Internatonal Journal of Advaned Robot Sstems, Vol. 3, No. 3 (006 ISSN ,

2 Internatonal Journal of Advaned Robot Sstems, Vol. 3, No. 3 (006 four-stage roess for fndng and manulatng a valve. The amera models are desrbed n Seton 3. Seton 4 rooses a new vsual ostonng method based on retangle onstrants, whh auratel rovdes the oston and ose of the valve. Sstem albraton s onduted n Seton 5 to verf the aura of the roosed ostonng method. Seton 6 resents the alaton eerment that s desgned for the humanod robot to aroah and oerate the valve autonomousl, and results show the effetveness of the roosed method. Fnall, Seton 7 rovdes a bref onluson.. The robot and ts ontrol strateg As shown n Fg., our humanod robot onssts of a head, a bod wth two arms and a wheeled moble base. The robot bod has three degrees of freedom (DOFs,.e. twst, th and aw. The two arms/manulators have s DOFs and are fed, one on eah sde of the bod. Eah has an end-effetor as ts hand, and ts wrst s equed wth a mn amera and fore sensors. Note that we treat the end-effet, grer and hand as the same n ths aer from now on wthout further elanaton. Fg.. The humanod robot Camera Head Arm Hand Moble base The robot head has two ameras as ees and a PC04 omuter to roess mages used to oston the valve. One the robot fnds the valve, t moves towards t and oerates t usng ts hands, as shown n Fg.. Oeratons nlude turnng on or turnng off the valve. These oeratons an be remotel ontrolled b an oerator usng audo ommands sent va rado. The roess of fndng and oeratng the valve onssts of four stages as follows: o Stage The robot frst uses ts stereo vson to estmate the rough oston of the valve relatve to ts own oston n order to aroah the valve. At ths stage, the entre of the mage area for the red olour marker s seleted as the feature ont, and the ose of the valve s not mortant. When the dstane between the valve and the robot s less than two meters, the frst stage of the ostonng method s ended and the seond stage begns. A new strateg s develoed for measurng the oston and ose of the valve, n the robot frame, based on the shae onstrant of the marker. o Stage Aordng to the oston and ose of the valve n the robot frame, the robot moves near to t at a range that s reahable b ts arm. The oston and ose of the valve, alulated at the end of the nd stage, s used for the movement ontrol of ts arm n the 3rd stage of the ostonng method. The gven ose of the end-effetor of the robot arm s alulated, and s ket for later stages. o Stage 3 The oston that the hand should reah at ths stage s alulated aordng to the oston of the valve (b onsderng the oston of the mark and handles. Based on knemats and nverse knemats, the hand s ontrolled to move to the handle whle the amera n the hand measures the green olour mage se of the handle marker. It wll sto when the marker se s large enough or a gven oston s reahed. o Stage 4 An mage-based vsual servong method s adoted to gude the end-effetor to reah and ath the handle. Fnall hbrd ontrol wth fore and oston s emloed to rotate the valve usng two hands. Fg.. Valve wth a retangle mark Camera Grer Handle mark Valve mark Handle mark Wth regard to ontrol, man methods are emloed n the roess desrbed above. The ontrol methods n the st and nd stages emlo oston-based vsual servong. Control n the 3rd stage emlos models and ontrol n the 4th stage nvolves mage-based vsual servong. The oston-based vsual servong methods n the st and nd stage and the model based ontrol method n the 3rd stage are tradtonal. The are omtted here beause of length lmtaton. The ose of the valve, gven at the end of the nd stage, s an mortant arameter beause t ensures that the end-effetor an ath the handle wth orret orentaton. The vsual ostonng method n the nd stage wll be desrbed n the net seton. 68

Vsual ostonng method A red retangular olour marker s attahed to the valve, as shown n Fg.. The measurement of the oston and ose for the valve s smlar to that for the red marker. A frame s establshed as a target frame based on the retangle entre, whh takes the retangle lane as a XOY lane. The lne between two handle markers ats as the X as, as shown n Fg. 3.

The oston and ose of the target relatve to the left amera at the -th samlng s denoted as T, that of the robot s hand as T e, and that of the target n the world frame of the ndustral robot as T w. The edges of the red retangle were deteted usng a Hough transformaton (Tv 990 after dstorton orretons. Two onts were then seleted from eah lne to alulate, T, the oston and ose of the target aordng to the method desrbed n Seton 4.

Errors n oses should be less than those n ostons,.e. the objet ose measurements have hgher aura. 6. Eermental results Based on the roosed method, eerments were desgned and onduted for our humanod robot to aroah and oerate a valve wth a retangular oloured marker attahed on ts anel, as shown n Fg.. The red retangle was 00mm n heght and 00mm n wdth. The ose of the valve handles was marked b green olour, whose dreton was onsstent wth the X as n Fg. 3. The head wth two MINTRON 8055MK ameras s shown n Fg.. Two mn ameras were fed on the wrsts of the two manulators. The ameras on the head were well albrated, but the ones on the wrsts are not albrated. 6. Aroahng the Valve b the moble base At the begnnng, the robot searhed for the target valve n the laborator. When the valve was found, the st stage desrbed n Seton was started. When the valve was wthn two meters of the robot, the nd stage began and the method desrbed above was n oeraton. The oston and ose of the moble base was adjusted aordng to that of the valve untl the robot was n an adequate oeratonal area. When the robot stoed movng, the oston and ose of the valve relatve to the head was measured agan b usng the roosed method. The oston and ose of the target valve relatve to the hest of the humanod robot ould be obtaned through oordnate transformaton. Table 5 shows the oston and ose of the target relatve to the referene frame at the hest. The ose and oston of the target relatve to two end-effetors ould also be alulated resetvel through oordnate transformaton. At the st and nd stages, both arms were not n oeraton and were ket n a stat oston and ose. In the roess of aroahng the target b the humanod robot, two arms were ostoned so that the dd not blok the head feld of vew of the target valve. n v o r a v v (mm Table 5. Poston and ose of the Valve 6.. Movng the end-effetors near to the Handle One the robot was n an adequate oeratonal area, the hands of both arms would move, one to eah of the handles of the valve. At the same tme, the ameras on the head were natve. The goal oston and ose of the two end-effetors were determned aordng to the ose and oston of the valve gven above. The goal ostons of the hands, eseall n the ameras vew dreton, had an offset added n order to avod ollsons between the end-effetors and the valve as a result of an error. The movng aths were lanned to satsf ostons wth a hgh rort so as to avod ollsons, eet for the ameras vew dreton. The movements were ontrolled usng knemat and nverse knemat models of manulators. Therefore, end-effetors ould move to the gven goal qukl. At the same tme, the amera at eah hand was n oeraton to measure the se of mage areas of the valve handle (the green olour marker on both sdes of the valve. The se of the green markers nreases as eah hand moved loser to the handle. If the se was large enough or a gven oston was reahed, oston adjustment was ended and the roess hanged to the 4th stage of the roosed ostonng method. (a The left mage (b The rght mage Fg. 6. Images atured b the ameras on the robot head Fg. 6 rovdes a ar of mages of one hand, atured at the end of the 3rd stage. Both mages,.e. Fg. 6(a and Fg. 6(b, were atured b the left and the rght ameras of the robot head resetvel. It an be seen that the endeffetor s at the lae near to the handle wth an arorate ose. Ths means that the ose alulated b the roosed method has good aura Aroahng and Cathng the Handle An mage-based vsual servong method n the 4th stage was aled to gude the end-effetors to reah and ath eah handle. As onted out n (Hager 996, magebased vsual servong methods for an ee-n-hand sstem 73

8 Internatonal Journal of Advaned Robot Sstems, Vol. 3, No. 3 (006 have the drawbak that a target objet ma be out of the amera s feld of vew durng ose adjustment of the endeffetor, whh results n servong falure. If ostons were onl adjusted n a statonar ose, ths drawbak would be overome. However, to ensure that the ose s statonar n the servong roess and the end-effetor an ath the handle wth arorate ose, the ose of the end-effetor should be gven auratel at the begnnng of vsual servong. Ths s wh the ose of the valve needs to be measured auratel n the 3rd stage of the roosed ostonng method and ket unhanged n the 4th stage. The goal of mage-based vsual servong s that the mage of the green marker, reresentng the handle, should math a gven referene mage as muh as ossble. The oston adjustments of end-effetors were gven a hgh rort, eet for one (n the ameras vew dreton, to avod ollson wth valve handles. The end-effetor was oen durng the vsual servong roess. The goal was to adjust the end-effetor oston at a small range, and the grer reahed the handle wth an arorate ose when guded b the amera n hand. The fnal art of the roess nvolved the grer losng to gras a handle. A hbrd ontrol method usng fore and oston was emloed to rotate the valve wth the robot s two hands. It s omtted here. In a seres of eerments, the humanod robot was able to autonomousl fnd, reah and oerate the valve suessfull. These eerments show that the oston and ose of the valve alulated usng the roosed methods are aurate enough to gude two arms n order for them to oerate the valve. The advantages of usng both ee-to-hand and ee-n-hand sstems are learl demonstrated. 7. Conlusons A new vsual servong strateg for a humanod robot to aroah and gras a valve s roosed. It onssts of four stages, namel rough base aroahng, fne base aroahng, rough hand aroahng and fne hand aroahng and grasng. As an mortant art n the roess of autonomous valve manulaton, a vsual ostonng and ontrol method was roosed n ths aer (for a hand-ee sstem and retangular shae onstrants. It emlos multle magng onts, whh le on lnes wth re-known arameters n the objetve frame. Postonng aura and robustness, eseall the ose, were nreased, and the nfluene of oston errors n mages was elmnated.
