Towards Cognitive Steering Behaviours for Two-wheeled Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a two-layer architecture for two-wheeled robots trajectory planning. This architecture can be used to describe steering behaviours and to generate candidate trajectories that will be evaluated by a higher-level layer before choosing which one will be followed. The higher layer uses a TÆMS tree to describe the current robot goal and its decomposition into alternative steering behaviours. The lower layer uses the DKP trajectory planner to grow a tree of spline trajectories that respect the kinematic constraints of the problem, such as linear/angular speed limits or obstacle avoidance. The two layers closely interact, allowing the two trees to grow simultaneously: the TÆMS tree nodes contain steering parameters used by DKP to generate its branches, and points reached in DKP tree nodes are used to trigger events that generate new subtrees in the TÆMS tree. We give two illustrative examples: (1) generation and evaluation of trajectories on a Voronoi-based roadmap and (2) overtaking behaviour in a road-like environment.

متن کاملApplication of Kinematic Modeling Methods to Wheeled Mobile Robots
This paper presents, analyzes and compares two different kinematic modeling methods for obtaining the kinematic model of general wheeled mobile robots. The two kinematic modeling methods are based on absolutely different concepts: on the one hand the constraints of each wheel and on the other the well known homogeneous transformation matrix theory. These methods are applied to the most common w...
متن کاملSteering for a class of dynamic nonholonomic systems
In this paper we derive control algorithms for a class of dynamic nonholonomic steering problems, characterized as mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints and symmetries. Recent research in geometric mechanics has led to a single, simplified framework that describes this class of systems, which includes examples such as wheeled mobile robots; undulatory robotic and biological locomotio...

Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...
متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
