Design Of Monitoring Robot Based On Bogie Rocker System

Track Side Bogie Monitoring System

Introduction: Indian Railways at present does not use any automated system for real-time online monitoring of the performance of bogies and wheel-sets. Bogies are checked only during TXR examination for loose or broken parts. Wheel sets are changed when they reach the condemning limit. Problems like skew ness in bogie or asymmetric wheel-wear are attended to during preventive maintenance schedu...

Traction Control for a Rocker-Bogie Robot with Wheel-Ground Contact Angle Estimation

A method for kinematics modeling of a six-wheel Rocker-Bogie mobile robot is described in detail. The forward kinematics is derived by using wheel Jacobian matrices in conjunction with wheel-ground contact angle estimation. The inverse kinematics is to obtain the wheel velocities and steering angles from the desired forward velocity and turning rate of the robot. Traction Control is also develo...

Analysis and Simulation of a Rocker-bogie Exploration Rover

Rovers will continue to play an important role in planetary exploration. Plans include the use of the rocker-bogie rover configuration. Here, models of the mechanics of this configuration are presented. Methods for solving the inverse kinematics of the system and quasi-static force analysis are described. Also described is a simulation based on the models of the rover’s performance. Experimenta...

Network Distributed Monitoring System Based on Robot Technology Middleware

In this paper, a network distributed monitoring system for human assistance robot system was developed to improve the interaction among the users and local service robotic system and enable a remote user to get a better understanding of what is going on in the local environment. Home integration robot system and network monitoring system using QuickCam Orbit cameras ...
