چکیده

In this paper it is shown that simple, low-level motion cues, inspired by the visual navigation of flying insects, can be used to provide a mobile robot with the ability to traverse various corridor environments. Distances to the walls of the corridor and to potential obstacles are measured using the apparent angular velocity of patches in the image and the known motion of the robot.

Insect Inspired Robots

Insect behaviour has been a rich source of inspiration for the field of robotics as the perception and navigation problems encountered by autonomous robots are faced also by insects. In this paper, we introduce a research platform, the Insectbot, that was built as a testbed for new biologically-inspired, vision-based algorithms and systems. The Insectbot is a groundbased robot but it is capable...

Trajectory Tracking of Two-Wheeled Mobile Robots, Using LQR Optimal Control Method, Based On Computational Model of KHEPERA IV

This paper presents a model-based control design for trajectory tracking of two-wheeled mobile robots based on Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal control. The model proposed in this article has been implemented on a computational model which is obtained from kinematic and dynamic relations of KHEPERA IV. The purpose of control is to track a predefined reference trajectory with the best po...

Recent studies of insect visual behaviour and navigation reveal a number of elegant strategies that can be profitably applied to the design of autonomous robots. The peering behaviour of grasshoppers, for example, has inspired the design of new rangefinding systems. The centring response of bees flying through a tunnel has led to simple methods for navigating through corridors. Experimental inv...

Dynamical formation control of wheeled mobile robots based on fuzzy logic

In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...

Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control of a Nonholonomic Wheeled Mobile Robots Using Fuzzy Based Tyre Force Estimator

This paper, proposes a methodology to implement a suitable nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller associated with the output feedback control to achieve a successful trajectory tracking of a non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot in presence of longitudinal and lateral slip accompanied. This implementation offers a relatively faster and high precision tracking performance. We investigate this...
