Abstract With the goal of developing a spatial linkage exoskeleton for a shape-adaptive mobile robot, capable of navigating obstacle-laden environments through changes in geometry, initial research focused on the nature of axis transformations, and parameters affecting linkages, such as the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters. Building on this background, angulated linkages are developed such that a series of scissor pairs, two angulated linkages connected at their midpoints, forming a closed-loop. Using the DH parameters, the geometries are considered in the development of a planar model. A kinematic model is also developed to replicate the design in future work. A linkage was designed using SolidWorks, and then imported into MATLAB’s Simscape Multibody software where a visual, analytical model was developed. The nominal planar model acts as the basis of a spatial model. Using the spatial model, initial prototypes were built to verify the virtual model. A concept for an actuation mechanism is discussed, with a prototype built to identify any limitations. Through experimentation and analysis of the prototypes, areas for improvement in the design are identified. Future work is discussed to further mature the design and development of this solution.

Climbing Ability

In this paper, an experimental activity on the path tracking for a hybrid wheeled-legged mobile robot is presented. The activity has been conducted on the Epi.q-Mod 2 prototype, a mobile robot with obstacle climbing ability. This feature has been obtained using a smart rotating leg architecture. Unfortunately, this solution introduces complexity on the kinematic and dynamic modeling of the robot. In order to understand the behavior of the robot during the motion on a generic trajectory, an open loop position controller has been implemented. In particular, the experimental robot trajectory has been reconstructed from odometric quantities through a simplified kinematic model. This trajectory has been compared with the trajectory obtained from a multibody model of the real prototype in order to evaluate the differences between the two approaches. This activity represents a preliminary step for the development of a self-guidance vehicle. In future works the developed model will be used to provide a position feedback for a closed loop position controller without the necessity to use additional sensors.

In this paper, we present our navigation control approach of a mobile robot (Turtlebot 2 robot) based on the stability Lyapunov function; our mobile robot is composed of two differential wheels. The kinematic model of the robot is presented followed by the description of the control approach. A 3D simulation under the Gazebo software is developed in interaction with the kinematic model and the control approach under MATLAB-SIMULINK software. The purpose of this study is to carry out an autonomous navigation; we initially planned different trajectories then we tried to be followed them by the robot. Our navigation strategy based on its odometry information, based on robot position and orientation errors; Velocity commands are sent for the robot to follow the chosen path. Different simulations were performed in 2D and 3D and the results obtained are presented followed by the envisaged future work.

Kinematic Behaviour

In this paper, the effects of wheel slip compensation in trajectory planning for mobile tractor-trailer robot applications are investigated. Firstly, a kinematic model of the proposed robot architecture is marked out, then an experimental campaign is done to identify if it is possible to kinematically compensate trajectories that otherwise would be subject to large lateral slip. Due to the close connection to the experimental data, the results shown are valid only for Epi.q, the prototype that is the main object of this manuscript. Nonetheless, the base concept can be usefully applied to any mobile robot subject to large lateral slip.

Initial Results

The motivation for this work is to develop a platform for a self-localization device. Such a platform has many applications for the autonomous maneuverable non-holonomic mobile robot classification, which can be used for search and rescue or for inspection devices where the robot has a desired path to follow but because of an unknown terrain, the device requires the ability to make ad-hoc corrections to its movement to reach its desire path. The mobile robot is modeled using Lagrangian d’Alembert’s principle considering all the possible inertias and forces generated, and are controlled by restraining movement based on the holonomic and non-holonomic constraints of the modeled vehicle. The device is controlled by a PD controller based on the vehicle’s holonomic and non-holonomic constraints. An experiment was setup to verify the modeling and control structure’s functionality and the initial results are promising.

To perform mission in variant environment, several types of mobile robot has been developed an implemented. The mobile robot HILARE is a known wheeled mobile robot which has two fixed wheels and an off-entered orientable wheel. Due to extended application of this robot, its dynamic analysis has attracted a great deal of interests. This article investigates dynamic modeling and motion analysis of the mobile robot HILARE. As the wheels of the robot have kinematic constraints, the constraints of wheels are taken into consideration and the matrix form of the kinematic model of the robot is derived. Furthermore, dynamic model of the robot is developed by consideration of kinematic constraints. To derive dynamic equations of the robot, the Lagrange multiplier method is employed and the governing equations of the robot in state-pace form are presented. Then, some simulations are presented to show applicability of the proposed formulation for dynamic analysis of the mobile robot HILARE.

This paper investigates the stabilization and trajectory tracking problem of wheeled mobile robot with a ceiling-mounted camera in complex environment. First, an adaptive visual servoing controller is proposed based on the uncalibrated kinematic model due to the complex operation environment. Then, an adaptive controller is derived to provide a solution of uncertain dynamic control for a wheeled mobile robot subject to parametric uncertainties. Furthermore, the proposed controllers can be applied to a more general situation where the parallelism requirement between the image plane and operation plane is no more needed. The overparameterization of regressor matrices is avoided by exploring the structure of the camera-robot system, and thus, the computational complexity of the controller can be simplified. The Lyapunov method is employed to testify the stability of a closed-loop system. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the suggested control.

In this paper, the trajectory tracking problem is investigated for a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. In this strategy, combining the kinematic model with the dynamic model, the actuator voltage is employed as the control input, and the uncertainties are approximated by a fuzzy logic system. An auxiliary velocity controller is integrated with an adaptive fuzzy integral terminal sliding mode controller, and a robust controller is employed to compensate for the lumped errors. It is proved that all the signals in the closed system are bounded and the auxiliary velocity tracking errors can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. As a result, the tracking position errors converge asymptotically to zeros with faster response than other existing controllers. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
