双腕動的マニピュレーションによる絡まったワイヤハーネスのクローズドループ・ビンピッキングシステム

原文アブストラクト

This paper addresses the challenge of industrial bin picking using entangled wire harnesses. Wire harnesses are essential in manufacturing but poses challenges in automation due to their complex geometries and propensity for entanglement. Our previous work tackled this issue by proposing a quasi-static pulling motion to separate the entangled wire harnesses. However, it still lacks sufficiency and generalization to various shapes and structures. In this paper, we deploy a dual-arm robot that can grasp, extract and disentangle wire harnesses from dense clutter using dynamic manipulation. The robot can swing to dynamically discard the entangled objects and regrasp to adjust the undesirable grasp pose. To improve the robustness and accuracy of the system, we leverage a closed-loop framework that uses haptic feedback to detect entanglement in real-time and flexibly adjust system parameters. Our bin picking system achieves an overall success rate of 91.2% in the real-world experiments using two different types of long wire harnesses. It demonstrates the effectiveness of our system in handling various wire harnesses for industrial bin picking.
