Abstract :
In batch micro-operation, the system needs to operate multiple targets in unstructured environment and these targets distribute in an area that is larger than micro visual field and much smaller than the whole workspace of robot. During the procedure of micro-operation, the operator ought to moving platform to search micro target and locate it into micro visual field, which is slow and has low precision. How to locate multiple micro targets under unstructured environment and automatically move them into micro visual field is a key problem of batch micro-operation automation. This paper puts forward a mechanism of operating region map management that is applied in batch micro-operation. In the paper, we present scan path plan of micro map dynamic creation, algorithm of micro-target fast orientation based on map compression and put forward a solution to batch micro-operation automation based on micro map and primitive. Finally, by a simple experiment, the mechanism of operating region map management is proved to be effective and feasible.
