Dynamo: real-time experiments with multiple mobile robots
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Dynamo project at UBC, we have developed an extensible facility for experimental mobile robotics. It currently consists of nine radio-controlled mobile robots, two CCD colour video cameras, a video transmitter and tuner, radio controllers, Datacube image processing hardware, and a network of transputers. Software for tracking, control, and simulation has also been developed. Ongoing projects include soccer playing, and constraint programming for robots. We describe the facility and outline the projects.

Delay Compensation on Fuzzy Trajectory Tracking Control of Omni-Directional Mobile Robots
This paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances. On the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...
متن کاملFuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time
Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...
متن کاملDynamite: A Testbed for Multiple Mobile Robots1
We are experimenting with multiple mobile robots under visual control. The current goal of our work is to construct an architecture for robots engaged in cooperative and competitive behaviour. Multiple robots have recently been the focus of much attention; however, the little work that has been done with implemented systems has involved simple tasks and behaviours. We have initiated the Dynamo ...
متن کاملControl 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 کاملReal-time obstacle avoidance for multiple mobile robots
An efficient, simple, and practical real time path planning method for multiple mobile robots in dynamic environments is introduced. Harmonic potential functions are utilized along with the panel method known in fluid mechanics. First, a complement to the traditional panel method is introduced to generate a more effective harmonic potential field for obstacle avoidance in dynamically changing e...
