چکیده

This paper describes an algorithm to calculate near-optimal minimum time trajectories for four wheeled omnidirectional vehicles, which can be used as part of a high-level path planner. The algorithm is based on a relaxed optimal control problem. It takes limited friction and vehicle dynamics into account, as encountered in high-performance omnidirectional vehicles. The low computational complexity makes the application in real-time feasible. An implementation of the algorithm on a real vehicle is presented and discussed. c © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Stability of Three-Wheeled Vehicles with and without Control System

In this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. For vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. In accorda...

Fuzzy Vehicle Dynamic Control for a Three-Wheeled Vehicle Using Tilt Mechanism

Nowadays, the use of small vehicles is spreading among urban areas and one sort of these vehicles are three-wheeled vehicles (TWVs) which can be competitive with four-wheeled urban vehicles (FWVs) in aspects such as smallness, simple manufacturing, and low tire rolling resistance, fuel consumption and so on. The most critical instability associated with TWVs is the roll over. In this paper a ti...

A nonlinear model predictive control strategy for trajectory tracking of a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot

This paper presents a nonlinear model-based predictive controller (NMPC) for trajectory tracking of a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot. Methods of numerical optimization to perform real-time nonlinear minimization of the cost function are used. The cost function penalizes the robot’s position error, the robot’s orientation angle error, and the control effort. Experimental results of th...

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...

Real-time Trajectory Generation and Control of a Semi-Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

When controlling a wheeled mobile robot with four independently steerable driving wheels, the control of the wheel coordination must be handled. Both the direction and velocity of the wheels must be coordinated to allow for proper operation of the robot. The focus of this work is on the coordination of the wheel directions. Such coordination is mostly done by solving constraint equations of the...
