Research on Path Planning of Concrete Pouring Construction Robot Based on Online Obstacle Avoidance Algorithm

Aiming at the problem of harsh concrete construction environment and low level automation of concrete pouring operation, this paper proposes an autonomous concrete pouring planning method based on real-time obstacle avoidance algorithm. A new 3-DoF articulated concrete pouring robot is designed and kinematically modeled. Rectangular fitting is adopted to simplify irregular obstacles. Then generate obstacle maps and apply intelligent obstacle avoidance algorithms based on the maps, which adopt the reward mechanism in reinforcement learning. The effectiveness of the proposed method in autonomous obstacle avoidance path planning for pouring robots is demonstrated through simulation and prototype experiments.
