Mobility augmentation of conventional wheeled bases for omnidirectional motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the mobility augmentation method to provide omnidirectional mobility to nonomnidirectional wheeled bases. First, the kinematic model of a nonomnidirectional wheeled base and a link combined by an extra revolute/prismatic joint to the base is derived in a matrix-vector form. Then it is shown that, if the kinematic model satisfies some structural conditions, the link motion can be omnidirectional. The structural conditions for omnidirectional motion are derived and several examples are provided to demonstrate the method.

Fault Tolerant Control Strategy for OmniKity-III
In this paper OmniKity-III (OK-III), a novel wheeled omni-directional mobile robot is developed and its kinematic model and control laws are derived. A special gear train was developed to have omnidirectional mechanism using conventional tire wheels. Several control laws are provided by considering the robot as a redundantly actuated wheeled mobile robot (WMR) on the plane. Since the robot has ...
متن کاملKinematic modeling of wheeled mobile robots
We formulate the kinematic equations-of-motion of wheeled mobile robots incorporating conuentionaI, omnidirectional, and ball wheels. While our approach parallels the kinematic modeling of stationary manipulators, we extend the methodology to accommodate such special characteristics of wheeled mobile robots as multiple closed-link chains, higher-pair contact points between a wheel and a surface...
متن کاملDesign of a Highly Maneuverable Wheeled Mobile Robot
An omnidirectional mobile robot is able, kinematically, to move in any direction regardless of current pose. To date, nearly all designs and analyses of omnidirectional mobile robots have considered the case of motion on flat, smooth terrain. In this paper, an investigation of the design and analysis of an omnidirectional mobile robot for use in rough terrain is presented. Kinematic and geometr...
متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
متن کاملMaximum Allowable Load On Wheeled Mobile Manipulators (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper develops a computational technique for finding the maximum allowable load of mobile manipulators for a given trajectory. The maximum allowable loads which can be achieved by a mobile manipulator during a given trajectory are limited by the number of factors; probably the dynamic properties of mobile base and mounted manipulator, their actuator limitations and additional constraints a...
