Simultaneous generalization of trajectory and stiffness based on arc-normalized affine deformation in human–robot collaboration
摘要
To enable efficient motion and stiffness generalization on resource-constrained platforms, this paper proposes a lightweight method called arc-normalized affine deformation (ANAD). The method constructs a unified representation of human-demonstrated trajectories and spatial stiffness profiles, and applies an arc-length-normalized affine deformation to achieve simultaneous adaptation. The influence of directional deformation strategies on motion consistency and compliance adaptation is analyzed. Unlike conventional methods that rely on complex parameter tuning or numerical integration, ANAD requires no parameter tuning, offering high interpretability and real-time performance with minimal computation. Experiments on KUKA and UR5e collaborative robots demonstrate that ANAD can accurately generalize both motion and stiffness. Compared with the traditional DMP method, ANAD reduces computation time by over 99 %, validating its effectiveness and practicality in real-time human–robot collaboration.
