Projek ini mengeksplotasi penggunaan Teknologi Bluetooth dalam robot mudah alih. Robot mudah alih mempunyai kebolehan untuk bergerak secara automasi menggunakan algoritma yang rumit dan canggih. Algoritma disimpan dalam sebuah komputer sebagai tuan dan juga “server”. Segala bacaan penderia daripada robot mudah alih akan dihantar kepada tuan dan diproses. Kemudian, arahan untuk langkah seterusnya akan dihantar dari “server” kepada robot mudah alih dalam mode komunikasi dua hala dan dupleks penuh. Maka, “otak” utama berada di "server" dan bukannya pada robot mudah alih. Kertas ini akan memfokus pada perantaraan muka antara Bluetooth transceiver dan Handy Board MC68HC11 mikro pengawal pada robot mudah alih. Untuk kes biasa, satu penerima dan penghantar diperlukan untuk setiap alat (server dan client) masing-masing, tetapi dengan Teknologi Bluetooth, hanya dua Bluetooth transceiver diperlukan untuk mencapai perhubungan dupleks penuh. Projek ini telah menghasilkan robot mudah alih dengan kebolehan Bluetooth. Robot tersebut boleh dikawal secara “wirelessly” melalui Bluetooth transceiver. Kata kunci: Teknologi Bluetooth; dua hala; duplex penuh; automasi; Handy Board This work explores the implementation of Bluetooth technology in mobile robots. The mobile robot has the capability to move around autonomously using complicated and powerful algorithm. The algorithms are stored in the master as the server. All sensor readings from the mobile robot will be transmitted to the master and processed. Then, command or instruction for further action is transmitted from the server to the mobile robot in a bi-directional full duplex communication mode. Hence, the main “brain” is in the server instead of the mobile robot. This paper will focus on the interfacing between Bluetooth tranceiver and Handy Board MC68HC11 micro-controller of mobile robot. For common case, a receiver and transmitter are needed for each device (robot and control unit), but with Bluetooth technology, only two Bluetooth transceivers are needed to achieve full duplex connection. This project has provided a Bluetooth enabled mobile robot. The mobile robot can be controled wirelessly via Bluetooth transceiver. Key words: Bluetooth Technology; bi-directional; full duplex; autonomously; Handy Board

Control Implementation

This paper presents the virtual environment implementation for simulation and design conception of supervision and control systems for mobile robots, that are capable to operate and adapt in different environments and conditions. The purpose of this virtual system is to facilitate the development of embedded architecture systems, emphasizing the implementation of tools that allow the simulation of the kinematic conditions, dynamic and control, with monitoring in real time of all important system points. For this, an open control architecture is proposed, integrating the two main techniques of robotic control implementation in the hardware level: systems microprocessors and reconfigurable hardware devices. The implemented simulator system is composed of a trajectory generating module, a kinematic and dynamic simulator module, and an analysis module of results and errors. All the kinematic and dynamic results obtained during the simulation can be evaluated and visualized in graphs and table formats in the results analysis module, allowing the improvement of the system, minimizing the errors with the necessary adjustments and optimization. For controller implementation in the embedded system, it uses the rapid prototyping which is the technology that allows in set, with the virtual simulation environment, the development of a controller project for mobile robots. The validation and tests had been accomplished with nonholonomic mobile robot models with differential transmission.

An intelligent tracking control system based on the micro-control unit (MCU) has been developed to control the motors by sensing the change of black guide lines. After the training of the BP Neural Network, the MCU is able to make decisions quickly and accurately for various situations during robot moving. Using MCU technology to control the motors, the system is compatible for both manual and automatic control. The experiment shows that the mobile robot could follow the change of black guide lines accurately and quickly, and stillness and out-of-orbit were effectively inhibited during moving. The proposed tracking control system based on the BP Neural Network has been verified to have high reliability.

After a general introduction of the research, firstly the mechanical hardware and control hardware composition of the wheel–track robot is provided and the principles of its mechanical structure are illustrated. Secondly, through studying the fundamental constrains during the process of the robot climbing the obstacles, a mathematical model based on classical mechanics method is built to help analyze the dynamic principles of a wheel–track mobile robot climbing stairs. Thirdly, the dynamic stability analysis is carried out by analyzing not only the interaction among forces of track, track edge, and stair step but also the different stabilities of the robot when the track and the stairs have different touch points. Finally, an experiment of the modeling track robot climbing the stairs has convinced the effectiveness of the dynamic theories researched, which will be a beneficial reference for the future mobile robots obstacle climbing studies.

Abstract We describe a novel design for a compliant arm that can be mounted on a mobile robot. The main features of the arm are the in-parallel architecture of the arm and a novel control scheme that allows us to easily control the Cartesian stiffness or impedance in the plane. Because the arm is compliant, a mobile robot can manipulate or interact with objects that are not precisely positioned in the environment. Further, a mobile robot equipped with such an arm can cooperate with other mobile robots in manipulation tasks. For example, two such arms can hold an object in a stable grasp by applying and maintaining appropriate contact forces with the appropriate stiffness. We present experimental results that show the performance of the compliant arm and the use of the arm while two platforms cooperate in a manipulation task.

Enabling technologies that drive Industry 4.0 and smart factories are pushing in new equipment and system development also to prevent human workers from repetitive and non-ergonomic tasks inside manufacturing plants. One of these tasks is the order-picking which consists in collecting parts from the warehouse and distributing them among the workstations and vice-versa. That task can be completely performed by a Mobile Manipulator that is composed by an industrial manipulator assembled on a Mobile Robot. Although the Mobile Manipulators implementation brings advantages to industrial applications, they are still not widely used due to the lack of dedicated standards on control and safety. Furthermore, there are few integrated solutions and no specific or reference point allowing the safe integration of mobile robots and cobots (already owned by company). This work faces the integration of a generic mobile robot and collaborative robot selected from an identified set of both systems. The paper presents a safe and flexible mechatronic interface developed by using MBSE principles, multi-domain modeling, and adopting preliminary assumptions on the hardware and software synchronization level of both involved systems. The interface enables the re-using of owned robot systems differently from their native tasks. Furthermore, it provides an additional and redundant safety level by enabling power and force limiting both during cobot positioning and control system faulting.
