    Facility plant protection robot based on UWB and visual integrated navigation for leafy vegetable ridge tracking control

    • 摘要: 为提高设施温室垄作模式下移动底盘的自主导航精度,针对直线度较差的叶菜垄面,该研究提出一种组合导航控制系统。该系统主要由视觉模块、UWB(Ultra Wide Band)模块和控制器模块等组成。首先利用深度相机采集机器人前向叶菜垄面图像,采用YOLOv8s-seg算法实现叶菜垄面的分割,并通过Canny算法识别垄面边缘,最后利用最小二乘法进行视觉导航线提取。针对移动机器人垄作环境下自主导航跟踪,提出基于UWB和视觉组合的导航控制策略,基于纯跟踪算法建立导航跟踪控制模型;最后在实际田垄场景下进行自主导航试验。试验结果表明:当植保机以0.4 ~0.5 m/s速度行驶时,视觉导航和UWB导航的最大跟踪偏差分别为6.3、5.8 cm,平均误差分别为4.7、4.3 cm,验证了本文导航线提取算法的可行性和UWB导航的可靠性,为两者结合提供了基础。组合导航调控分界线为15 cm,两组组合导航试验最大跟踪偏差分别为15.2、15.5 cm,平均误差分别为5.9、6.1 cm。通过试验结果表明,组合导航中UWB导航控制在极端情况下发挥了积极调控作用,与单一导航控制策略相比提升了导航精度和鲁棒性,为设施智能装备发展提供了一定的技术支撑。

       

      Abstract: To improve the the autonomous navigation accuracy of the mobile chassis in greenhouse ridge cultivation mode, a combined navigation control system was innovatively developed for leafy vegetable ridges with poor straightness. The system mainly consists of a vision module, UWB module, and controller module. Firstly, a depth camera is used to capture images of the leafy vegetable ridge surface in front of the robot. The YOLOv8s seg algorithm is used to segment the leafy vegetable ridge surface, and the Canny algorithm is used to identify the ridge surface edges. Finally, the least squares method is used to extract visual navigation lines; A control segmentation line between UWB navigation and visual navigation was constructed for autonomous navigation and tracking of mobile robots in a monopolistic environment. A mobile navigation control strategy for crop protection robots based on UWB/visual combination was proposed, and a navigation tracking control model was established based on pure tracking algorithm; Finally, autonomous navigation experiments were conducted in actual field scenarios, and the results showed that when the crop protection machine was traveling at speeds of 0.4~0.5 m/s, the maximum tracking deviations of visual navigation and UWB navigation were 0.063 and 0.058 m, respectively, and the average errors were 0.047 and 0.043 m, respectively. Pure visual navigation and UWB navigation have smaller tracking errors, which verifies the feasibility of the navigation line extraction algorithm proposed in this paper and the reliability of UWB navigation, providing a foundation for the combination of the two. The boundary for integrated navigation control is 0.15 m, and the maximum tracking deviations for the two sets of integrated navigation experiments are 0.152 and 0.155 m, respectively, with average errors of 0.059 and 0.061 m, respectively. Through the analysis of experimental results, it can be concluded that UWB navigation control in integrated navigation has played a significant positive regulatory role in extreme situations, significantly reducing navigation deviation and deviation fluctuation. Therefore, combined navigation has improved navigation accuracy and robustness to a certain extent, providing technical support for improving agricultural production efficiency and developing precision agriculture.
