Omnidirectional Mobile Platform

We detail an omnidirectional mobile platform for research and development (R&D). In 1995, we reported that a special driving mechanism for holonomic omnidirectional mobile robots was designed to enable 3 degree of freedom (DOF) motion control by 3 corresponding actuators decoupled with no redundancy. We constructed a omnidirectional mobile robot prototype with a drive. We took part in a RoboCup tournament as Uttori United with omnidirectional mobile robots: ZEN-450, using our driving mechanism, in 1997, and 2000. ZEN-450 showed high mobility during the tournament However, unpredictable problems occurred because ZEN-450 is not developed for robotic soccer. , We considered improving its hardware as a platform. We report the new platform and test-running results.

Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

Tujuan mendasar dari kontrol gerak mobile robot adalah untuk mengarahkan robot ke posisi yang diberikan secara acak pada ruang 2D. Mobile robot dengan roda omni memiliki sifat holonomic di mana memiliki keunggulan kelincahan dan permasalahan pengendalian gerak hanya pada sisi aktuator, sedangkan mobile robot dengan roda konvensional, memiliki permasalahan tambahan pengendalian gerak dalam ruang area operasional robot. Karenanya, robot omni lebih gesit untuk bergerak dalam konfigurasi ruang area kerja apa pun. Makalah ini menyajikan model kontrol konvergensi eksponensial berbasis model untuk mobile robot omnidirectional roda empat. Kontrol yang diusulkan menjamin penurunan kesalahan secara eksponensial dari gerakan robot ke setiap posisi robot yang diinginkan. Pembahasan meliputi model kinematik dan kontrol dari robot bergerak omnidirectional roda empat dan eksperimen simulasi yang telah dilakukan untuk memverifikasi kinerja kontrol yang meliputi lintasan robot 2D, serta nilai error atau kesalahan pada kontrol robot. Hasil dari eksperimen simulasi menunjukkan keefektifan kontrol yang diusulkan. Mobile robot telah bergerak ke posisi yang diinginkan pada garis lurus dengan tujuan robot yang akurat dan niali error atau kesalahan yang didapat ialah |0.02735| serta grafik error telah menurun secara eksponensial.   The fundamental objective of a mobile robot motion control is to navigate the robot to any given arbitrary posture in which robot 2D location and its heading are concerned. Mobile robots with omni wheels have a holonomic properties the advantage is of agility and motion control problems only on the actuator, while mobile robots with conventional wheels, have a problem of motion control the robot in task space. Therefore, the omni-wheeled mobile robots are more agile to move in any task space configuration.  This paper presents a model based exponential convergence control law for a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot. The proposed control law guarantees an exponential error decay of mobile robot motion to any given desired robot posture. The kinematic model and the control law of a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot are discussed. Simulation experiments have been conducted to verify the control law performances which include the 2D robot trajectory, the error signals, and the robot control signals. Results from simulation experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed control law. Mobile robot has moved to the desired position in a straight line with the aim of the robot that is accurate and the error or error obtained is | 0.02735 | and the error graph has decreased exponentially

Motion control in dynamic environments is one of the most important problems in using mobile robots in collaboration with humans and other robots. In this paper, the motion control of a four-Mecanum-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) in dynamic environments is studied. The robot’s differential equations of motion are extracted using Kane’s method and converted to discrete state space form. A nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy is designed based on the derived mathematical model to stabilize the robot in desired positions and orientations. As a main contribution of this work, the velocity obstacles (VO) approach is reformulated to be introduced in the NMPC system to avoid the robot from collision with moving and fixed obstacles online. Considering the robot’s physical restrictions, the parameters and functions used in the designed control system and collision avoidance strategy are determined through stability and performance analysis and some criteria are established for calculating the best values of these parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed controller and collision avoidance strategy is evaluated through a series of computer simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy is efficient in stabilizing the robot in the desired configuration and in avoiding collision with obstacles, even in narrow spaces and with complicated arrangements of obstacles.

The Difference

This article proposes a Linear Visual Servoing (LVS)-based method of controlling the position and attitude of omnidirectional mobile robots. This article uses two markers to express their target position and attitude in binocular visual space coordinates, based on which new binocular visual space information which includes position and attitude angle information is defined. Binocular visual space information and the motion space of an omnidirectional mobile robot are linearly approximated, and, using the approximation matrix and the difference in the binocular visual space information between a target marker and a robot marker, the robot’s translational velocity and rotational velocity are generated. Since those are all generated based only on disparity information on an image, which is similar to how this is done in existing LVS, a camera angle is not required. Thus, the method is robust against calibration errors in camera angles, as is existing LVS. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by simulation.

RT-middleware enables an interface between RT components by means of interface description language IDL, but it does not prescribe any specific format. If a unique representation format is used, it leads to a reduction in the reusability of a Robotic Technology Component (RTC). A working group of three research bodies engaged in the research and development of mobile robots was organized in the NEDO Intelligent RT Software Project, and this working group is involved in activities aimed at the jointing of RTCs for mobile robots. This paper describes specific this working group’s attempts enhance the sustainability and reusability of common RT components for mobile robots by achieving the jointing of RTCs for mobile robots.

Hil Simulation

Omnidirectional robots offer better maneuverability and a greater degree of freedom over conventional wheel mobile robots. However, the design of their control system remains a challenge. In this study, a real-time simulation system is used to design and develop a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform for an omnidirectional mobile robot using bond graphs and a flatness-based controller. The control input from the simulation model is transferred to the robot hardware through an Arduino microcontroller input board. For feedback to the simulation model, a Kinect-based vision system is used. The developed controller, the Kinect-based vision system, and the HIL configuration are validated in the HIL simulation-based environment. The results confirm that the proposed HIL system can be an efficient tool for verifying the performance of the hardware and simulation designs of flatness-based control systems for omnidirectional mobile robots.
