System Design, Modelling, and Control of a Four-Wheel-Steering Mobile Robot

چکیده
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 control loop that cross-couples steering and driving motors and is utilized in conjunction with a kinematics-based trajectorytracking controller. The results of simulation show significant reduction of the vehicle slip with moderate trajectory-tracking errors.

متن کاملCross-Coupling Control for Slippage Minimization of a Four-Wheel-Steering Mobile Robot
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. Dri...
متن کاملReal-time Trajectory Generation and Control of a Semi-Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
When controlling a wheeled mobile robot with four independently steerable driving wheels, the control of the wheel coordination must be handled. Both the direction and velocity of the wheels must be coordinated to allow for proper operation of the robot. The focus of this work is on the coordination of the wheel directions. Such coordination is mostly done by solving constraint equations of the...

This paper introduces a new approach to the design and control of a four-degree-of-freedom (4DOF) vehicle. This vehicle can travel sideways and it can negotiate tight turns easily. Existing 4DOF vehicles have been found difficult to control 2. The compliant linkage because of their overcon-strained nature. These difficulties As explained above, the key element in any workable MDOF translate int...
