Abstract

In this paper, an upper limb prosthesis has been furnished with a novel vision-based manipulation and grasping strategy. The proposed whole-body safety-critical control design includes vision servoing, multiple tasks planning with strict priorities, which can be formulated as an hierarchical multi-task optimization (HMO) problem with safety conditions—expressed as control barrier functions (CBF). Firstly, a modified YOLOv7 algorithm with key points detection is developed to determine the grasping pattern of the object and extract its edge contour information using a depth camera. An HMO-based strategy with a notion of CBF, providing inequality constraints in the control input, is proposed to handle multiple prioritized tasks with various constraints to offer guarantees of safety with the whole-body motion in consideration. Then the HMO problem is solved by a neuro-dynamics optimization solution online. Finally, experiments are implemented by using a self-developed upper limb prosthesis. Experimental results validate the performance of the proposed whole-body control strategy.
