Résumé

While working side-by-side, humans and robots complete each other nowadays, and we may say that they work hand in hand. This study aims to evolve the grasping task by reaching the intended object based on deep reinforcement learning. Thereby, in this paper, we propose a deep deterministic policy gradient approach that can be applied to a numerous-degrees-of-freedom robotic arm towards autonomous objects grasping according to their classification and a given task. In this study, this approach is realized by a five-degrees-of-freedom robotic arm that reaches the targeted object using the inverse kinematics method. You Only Look Once v5 is employed for object detection, and backward projection is used to detect the three-dimensional position of the target. After computing the angles of the joints at the detected position by inverse kinematics, the robot’s arm is moved towards the target object’s emplacement thanks to the algorithm. Our approach provides a neural inverse kinematics solution that increases overall performance, and its simulation results reveal its advantages compared to the traditional one. The robot’s end grip joint can reach the targeted location by calculating the angle of every joint with an acceptable range of error. However, the accuracy of the angle and the posture are satisfied. Experiments reveal the performance of our proposal compared to the state-of-the-art approaches in vision-based grasp tasks. This is a new approach to grasp an object by referring to inverse kinematics. This method is not only easier than the standard one but is also more meaningful for multi-degrees of freedom robots.
