Docking for mobile robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method of vehicle control is described. Visual feedback from a microsaccadic tracker is used to provide a docking competence. The vehicle is thereby capable of arriving at goal position with a specified heading angle. The vehicle uses a beacon to estimate it's trajectory and position in the ground plane. This information is used to control the vehicle to move to a "via-point". Complex trajectories can be achieved composed of multiple via-points. This is achieved without the need to plan the path between the via-points. The algorithm is therefore computationally cheap.

متن کاملAggregation and docking strategies for mobile self-reconfigurable robots
The reversible process between distributed robots and connected robot is the key issue of mobile self-reconfigurable robots, which can be divided into two phases of aggregation and docking. In this paper, corresponding strategies are proposed for robots enhanced with mobility. In the dynamic aggregation mechanisms, the optimal locations are determined based on the multi-object optimization of t...

متن کاملAn Infrared Docking System for Modular Wheeled Mobile Robots
A modular wheeled mobile robot is composed of autonomous wheeled modules capable of selfassembling to form up a modular mobile robot. The robot can change the number of its modules by having the modules detach themselves from the main body and move independently. In this paper, we propose a docking system for such robots, including a connection mechanism and a docking guidance system. The conne...
