Abstract

In grinding tasks of robotic arms, grinding efficiency is a very important factor. In this paper, an efficient grinding path planning is proposed to improve grinding efficiency by adaptively shortening grinding path as much as possible for workpieces with unknown sizes and arbitrary surface characteristics. First, the size of workpiece is calculated based on information of all points to be ground, and the length of the shortest path along the surface of workpiece between arbitrary two points is obtained based on workpiece size. Second, MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS) is improved through modifications of pheromone concentration update mechanism as well as the adding of pheromone concentration disturbance to enhance its efficiency and optimization capability, and improved-MMAS is applied in optimal sorting algorithm to adaptively generate the shortest grinding path on the workpiece with arbitrary surface characteristics. Experiment results validate that the proposed grinding path planning can adaptively generate the shortest grinding path on workpieces with unknown sizes and arbitrary surface characteristics.
