Closed-Loop Motion Control for Mobile Robotics

چکیده
CIRCUIT CELLAR www.circuitcellar.com The mechanical components that make up robots aren’t getting much cheaper. That’s the bad news. The good news, of course, is that electronics and processors continue their steady march toward higher performance and lower cost. As an engineer, you have to figure out how to use the extra resources and capabilities most effectively. In some cases, extra processing allows you to use lower-cost mechanical components, which can effectively reduce the system’s overall cost. With this idea in mind, I’ll tackle the robot drive train armed with a modest amount of computing power. When I’m done, you’ll have two different closedloop drive train designs that would make R2-D2’s head spin with envy. I’ll show you how to accomplish this using inexpensive permanent magnet motors and a clever feedback scheme that requires no mechanical overhead. Let’s begin by addressing the topic of motors.

Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity of Mobile-Base Flexible-Link Manipulators: Feedback Linearization Control Approach
This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...
متن کاملVisual Dead-Reckoning for Motion Control of a Mecanum-Wheeled Mobile Robot
Given an omni-directional mobile platform using four Mecanum wheels, it requires further a capability being programmed to achieve various motion behaviours and intelligence. This paper describes an undergraduate solution to the problem involving both hardware and software developments. With a path following behaviour as the aim, the research focused mainly upon sensors for dead-reckoning, motor...
متن کاملClosed loop motion planning of cooperating mobile robots using graph connectivity
In this paper we address the problem of planning the motion of a team of cooperating mobile robots subject to constraints on relative configuration imposed by the nature of the task they are executing. We model constraints between robots using a graph where each edge is associated with the interaction between two robots and describes a constraint on relative configurations. We develop a decentr...
متن کاملModeling robot discrete movements with state-varying stiffness and damping: A framework for integrated motion generation and impedance control
Successful execution of many robotic tasks requires precise control of robot motion and its interaction with the environment. In robotics these two problems are mainly studied separately in the domain of robot motion generation and interaction control, respectively. Existing approaches rely on two control loops: a motion generator (planner) that provides a reference trajectory in the outer loop...
متن کاملVisual Servoing under Changing Illumination Conditions
Visual servoing, or the control of motion on the basis of image analysis in a closed loop, is more and more recognized as an important tool in modern robotics. In this paper, we present a new model-driven approach to derive a description of the motion of a target object. This method can be subdivided into an illumination invariant target detection stage and a servoing process which uses an adap...
متن کاملRandomized path planning for linkages with closed kinematic chains
951 planning problem, with proven features as long as the tracking is good enough, and one tracking problem. The tracking problem is solved for a class of nonholonomic robots of the unicycle type, and we illustrate the soundness of our method by applying it to rigid body constrained motions. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors would like to thank the three anonymous reviewers for their insightful commen...
