Cross-Coupling Control for Slippage Minimization of a Four-Wheel-Steering Mobile Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a cross-coupling controller for a four-wheel steering mobile robot with independently actuated steering and driving of each wheel. The aim of the controller is to minimize slippage during transient states of the vehicle control. Linear approximation of the criterion for no slippage is adopted for the design of the LQR-based cross-coupling controller of steering actuators. Driving actuators are coupled with steering actuators in pairs corresponding to each wheel so that their transient errors are kept mutually proportional. The experiments performed on a dynamic model of the vehicle demonstrate significant reduction of slippage with moderate vehicle posture errors.

Multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) vehicles have many potential advantages over conventional (i.e., 2-DOF) vehicles. For example, MDOF vehicles can travel sideways and they can negotiate tight turns more easily. In addition, some MDOF designs provide better payload capability, better traction, and improved static and dynamic stability. However, MDOF vehicles with more than three degrees-of-freedom ...

This paper describes a dynamic model and crosscoupling control of a mobile robot with four independently steered and driven wheels. The dynamic model incorporates the components of the wheel mechanisms, backlash effects of the wheel actuators and nonlinear forces produced by the tire-ground interaction. The problem of computationally efficient control of the vehicle is solved using a low-level ...
متن کاملKinematic Bilateral Teleoperation of Wheeled Mobile Robots Subject to Longitudinal Slippage
With the widespread use of wheeled mobile robots (WMR) in various applications, new challenges have arisen in terms of designing its control system. One of such challenges is caused by wheel slippage. This paper proposes a new method for haptic teleoperation control of a WMR with longitudinal slippage (not including sliding). In this teleoperation system, the mobile robot’s linear velocity foll...
متن کاملHolonomic Control of a robot with an omni- directional drive
This paper shows how to control a robot with omnidirectional wheels, using as example robots with four motors, and generalizing to n motors. More than three wheels provide redundancy: many combinations of motors speeds can provide the same Euclidean movement. Since the system is over-determined, we show how to compute a set of consistent and optimal motor forces and speeds using the pseudoinver...
