چکیده

In this paper, an algorithm for a dynamic base real-time kinematic (DRTK) GPS is presented and a novel application to the guidance and control of a mobile robot pulling a trailer is discussed. The DRTK system is used to estimate the relative position between the robot and trailer in the autonomous system described, and the results are compared to traditional methods utilizing an optical encoder. Geometry error is analytically predicted and the influence on trailer position is shown. Experimental results show a marginal accuracy improvement over a properly calibrated encoder based system but a significant improvement when calibration errors are present.

Trajectory Tracking Weeled Mobile Robot Using Backstepping Method with Connection off Axle Trailer

The connection of the tractor to the inactive trailer or motor vehicle causes a motion control problem when turning in the screw, forward or backward movements and high speeds. This is due to the inactive trailer being controlled by the tracking using a physical link that is not affected by the movement. Trailers usually take tracks under these conditions. This phenomenon is called Jack Knife. ...

Motion State Estimation for an Autonomous Vehicle- Trailer System Using Kalman Filtering-based Multisensor Data Fusion

In this research we present a Kalman filtering-based motion state estimation method for an autonomous vehicle-trailer system by fusing multiple sensor data, which can be applied directly to autonomous navigation and motion control. The autonomous vehicle-trailer system consists of an autonomous vehicle and a passive trailer which are coupled by a trailer hitch. Our vehicle-trailer system is equ...
