A Robot Dynamic Target Grasping Method Based on Affine Group Improved Gaussian Resampling Particle Filter

Tracking and grasping a moving target is currently a challenging topic in the field of robotics. The current visual servo grasping method is still inadequate, as the real-time performance and robustness of target tracking both need to be improved. A target tracking method is proposed based on improved geometric particle filtering (IGPF). Following the geometric particle filtering (GPF) tracking framework, affine groups are proposed as state particles. Resampling is improved by incorporating an improved conventional Gaussian resampling algorithm. It addresses the problem of particle diversity loss and improves tracking performance. Additionally, the OTB2015 dataset and typical evaluation indicators in target tracking are adopted. Comparative experiments are performed using PF, GPF and the proposed IGPF algorithm. A dynamic target tracking and grasping method for the robot is proposed. It combines an improved Gaussian resampling particle filter algorithm based on affine groups and the positional visual servo control of the robot. Finally, the robot conducts simulation and experiments on capturing dynamic targets in the simulation environment and actual environment. It verifies the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper.
