Design of the Dual Offset Active Caster Wheel for Holonomic Omni-Directional Mobile Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown how a holonomic and omni‐directional mobile robot is designed towards indoor public services. Dual offset steerable wheels with orthogonal velocity components are proposed. The proposed wheel provides precise positioning and reliable navigation performance as well as durability. A fabricated prototype is introduced, then, an experiment is carried out.

متن کاملDelay 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 کاملMechanical Design of Step-Climbing Vehicle with Passive Linkages
In recent years, mobile robots are expected to perform various tasks in general environments such as nuclear power plants, large factories, welfare care facilities and hospitals. However there are narrow spaces with vertical gaps made by two horizontal floors in such environments and it is difficult for general car-like vehicles to run around there. Generally, the mobile robots are required to ...
