Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Shape prediction of deformable linear objects (DLO) plays critical roles in robotics, medical devices, aerospace, and manufacturing, especially in manipulating objects such as cables, wires, and fibers. Due to the inherent flexibility of DLO and their complex deformation behaviors, such as bending and torsion, it is challenging to predict their dynamic characteristics accurately. Although the traditional physical modeling method can simulate the complex deformation behavior of DLO, the calculation cost is high and it is difficult to meet the demand of real-time prediction. In addition, the scarcity of data resources also limits the prediction accuracy of existing models. To solve these problems, a method of fiber shape prediction based on a physical information graph neural network (PIGNN) is proposed in this paper. This method cleverly combines the powerful expressive power of graph neural networks with the strict constraints of physical laws. Specifically, we learn the initial deformation model of the fiber through graph neural networks (GNN) to provide a good initial estimate for the model, which helps alleviate the problem of data resource scarcity. During the training process, we incorporate the physical prior knowledge of the dynamic deformation of the fiber optics into the loss function as a constraint, which is then fed back to the network model. This ensures that the shape of the fiber optics gradually approaches the true target shape, effectively solving the complex nonlinear behavior prediction problem of deformable linear objects. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to traditional methods, the proposed method significantly reduces execution time and prediction error when handling the complex deformations of deformable fibers. This showcases its potential application value and superiority in fiber manipulation.
