Vehicle Dynamics of Redundant Mobile Robots with Powered Caster Wheels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamic model of redundantly actuated mobile robots with powered caster wheels is derived based on vehicle dynamics. The contact stability problem of wheeled mobile robots is introduced and stable contact condition that characterizes the bounds of contact stability is derived. Sliding mode observer is proposed to estimate the robot velocity using wheel angular velocity and joint torque information. Actuation redundancy of the robot is utilized to satisfy the stable contact condition in trajectory tracking applications.

Control of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
متن کاملSingularity-Free Dynamic Modeling Including Wheel Dynamics for an Omni-Directional Mobile Robot with Three Caster Wheels
Most of the previously employed dynamic modeling approaches, including Natural Orthogonal Complement Algorithm, have limitations on their application to the mobile robot, specifically at singular configurations. Also, in their dynamic modeling of mobile robots, wheel dynamics is usually ignored assuming that its dynamic effect is negligibly small. As a remedy for this, a singularity-free operat...
