CONTROL-CENTRIC SIMULATOR FOR MECHATRONICS DESIGN Case Study: Gyroscopically Stabilized Single Wheel Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
A 3-Dimensional simulation platform developed as an aid for designing complex mechatronics system is presented in this paper. It uses ADAMS for simulation with animation of the dynamic behavior of the mechanism whose parts are drawn using a 3-D drawing software e.g., SolidWorks. The overall simulation platform integrates the 3-D simulator ADAMS with control design software MATLAB. This integration allows the designer to adopt a control-centric approach for designing complex mechanical structure to be used in a mechatronics system. Dynamic analysis of single wheel robot is used in this paper as an example to illustrate its uses. The simulating environment can easily be extended to any complex mechanical system simply by altering SolidWorks drawings.

Gyroscopically Stabilized Robot: Balance and Tracking
The single wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot Gyrover, is a dynamically stable but statically unstable, underactuated system. In this paper, based on the dynamic model of the robot, we investigate two classes of nonholonomic constraints associated with the system. Then, based on the backstepping technology, we propose a control law for balance control of Gyrover. Next, through transferring ...
متن کاملControl of the Gyrover. A single-wheel gyroscopically stabilized robot
The Gyrover is a single wheel gyroscopically stabilized mobile robot developed at Carnegie Mellon University. An internal pendulum serves as a counter weight for a drive motor that causes fore/aft motion, while a tilt-mechanism on a large gyroscope provides a mechanism for lateral actuation. In this paper, we develop a detailed dynamic model for the Gyrover, and use this model in an extended Ka...

Abstract The Gyrover is a single wheel gyroscopically stabilized mobile robot developed at Carnegie Mellon University. An internal pendulum serves as a counter weight for a drive motor that causes fore/aft motion, while a large gyroscope on a tilt-mechanism provides for lateral balance and steering actuation. In this paper, we develop a detailed dynamic model for the Gyrover, and use this model...
متن کاملDynamic Mobility with Single-Wheel Configuration
This paper presents a novel concept of mobility that provides dynamic stability and rapid locomotion. The concept, called Gyrover, is a single-wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot that can be considered as a single wheel actuated by a spinning flywheel attached to a two-link manipulator at the wheel bearing and drive motor. The spinning flywheel acts as a gyroscope to stabilize the robot, and...
متن کاملPath Following Controller for Gyroscopically Stabilized Single-Wheeled Robot
Path following controller, designed according to the principle of following a virtual robot, for a gyroscopically stabilized single-wheeled robot (gyrobot) is presented in this paper. Linear and angular velocities of the virtual robot are pre-computed such that it follows the desired path. These velocities also constitute the feed-forward component of the reference velocities for the gyrobot. T...
