Abstract

Because the stability of obstacle avoidance ability is important for the safe operation of mobile robots, this paper deals with the analysis of dynamic stability of Limit-cycle navigation method that was proposed by authors. Limit-cycle navigation method is fast and easy to implement for fast moving mobile robots using limit-cycle characteristics of the 2nd-order nonlinear function. It can be applied to robots in dynamically changing environment such as the robot soccer. By adjusting the radius of the motion circle and the direction of the obstacle avoidance, the mobile robot can avoid the collision with obstacles and move to the destination point. The stability of Limit-cycle navigation method is analyzed with a linear model. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability, it is applied to the robot soccer Simulations and real experiments ascertain the merits of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 Limit-cycle 항법의 안정성을 분석하고 path follwer를 제안한다. Limit-cycle 항법은 2차 비선형 함수의 특징을 이용하며, 빠른 이동로봇의 움직임을 제어하기 위해 제안되어졌다. Limit-cycle의 수렴반경과 방향을 조절하여 충돌 없이 장애물을 회피하고, 목표점에 도달할 수 있다. 하지만 지금까지 Limit-cycle 항법의 안정성은 연구되어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 안정성을 분석하고, Limit-cycle 항법을 로봇축구에 적용하여, 시뮬레이션과 실제 실험에서 제안된 방법을 검증한다.
