📌 摘要与总结
This field report introduces an open-source mobile manipulation prototype designed for laboratory automation, addressing the ongoing challenge of reliably aligning natural language instructions and sensor observations into safe robotic actions.
By integrating dual OpenArm manipulators with a mobile base, vertical slide, RGB-D sensing, lidar-based mapping, and ROS2/MoveIt execution, the authors implement a system anchored around representation handoffs. These handoffs systematically bridge language, perception, planning, and safety through structured intermediate interfaces—proving crucial for identifying deployment blockers like calibration gaps and missing object assets.

📑 摘要
Open-source robotics and foundation models have lowered the barrier to embodied AI, yet language-guided laboratory automation still requires reliable alignment from instructions and observations to safe actions. This field report presents an OpenArm-based mobile manipulation prototype for laboratory-style tasks, built by integrating dual OpenArm manipulators with a mobile base, vertical slide, RGB-D sensing, lidar-based mapping, ROS2/MoveIt execution, and profile-defined skill interfaces. The system is organized around representation handoffs: natural language requests are constrained into registered skill calls, sensor observations are grounded into maps and object priors provide role and skill constraints, and runtime bindings compile validated skills into executable motion goals. We use dry-run traces and startup checks to evaluate this integration path, showing how the prototype exposes missing calibration, incomplete object assets, and unfinished real-scene visual grounding as explicit deployment blockers. These intermediate representations serve as practical debugging interfaces for integrating language, perception, planning, and robot safety in embodied systems.
开源机器人技术和基础模型降低了具身智能的门槛,然而语言引导的实验室自动化仍然需要将指令和观测可靠地对齐为安全的操作。本现场报告介绍了一种基于OpenArm的移动操作原型,用于执行实验室风格的任务。该原型通过集成双OpenArm机械臂与移动底盘、垂直滑轨、RGB-D感知、基于激光雷达的建图、ROS2/MoveIt执行模块以及配置文件定义的技能接口构建而成。系统围绕表征交接进行组织:自然语言请求被约束为已注册的技能调用,传感器观测被扎根(grounding)到地图和物体位姿中,物体先验提供角色和技能约束,运行时绑定则将验证后的技能编译为可执行的运动目标。我们利用演练轨迹(dry-run traces)和启动检查来评估这一集成路径,展示了该原型如何将缺失的标定、不完整的物体资产以及未完成的真实场景视觉接地暴露出作为显式的部署障碍。这些中间表征可作为在具身系统中集成语言、感知、规划和机器人安全的实用调试接口。
