Design Improvements for Proportional Control of Autonomous Wheelchairs Via 3DOF Orientation Tracker
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a three degrees of freedom orientation tracker as suitable controlling equipment for an automated wheelchair. Mounted at the back of an operator’s head by the help of an easy to wear frontlet, the device permanently outputs the user’s head posture which can be used as a joystick-like signal. Within an experimental evaluation we demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control interface even for untrained users.

Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملOmni-directional mobile robot controller based on trajectory linearization
In this paper, a nonlinear controller design for an omni-directional mobile robot is presented. The robot controller consists of an outer-loop (kinematics) controller and an inner-loop (dynamics) controller, which are both designed using the Trajectory Linearization Control (TLC) method based on a nonlinear robot dynamic model. The TLC controller design combines a nonlinear dynamic inversion an...
