Abstract

This paper presents a control method of a mecanum wheel-based omni-directional electric board using driver weight shift. Instead of a steering device such as a joystick or a remote controller, 3 degree-of-freedom driving command for translational and rotational motion of the omni-directional electric board is generated from position of center of gravity measured from weight distribution. The weight shifting motion is not only a driving command but also an intuitive motion to overcome inertial forces. The overall control structure is presented with experimental results to prove validity of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 운전자의 체중 이동을 활용한 메카넘 휠 기반 전방향 전동 보드 제어 방법을 제안한다. 운전을 위한 별도의 운전 장치를 사용하지 않으며, 다수의 센서를 활용하여 측정한 체중 분포로부터 무게 중심의 위치를 구하여 전방향 전동 보드의 병진 운동과 회전 운동의 3 자유도 운전 명령을 생성한다. 체중 이동은 운전 명령으로 반영됨과 동시에 관성력을 극복하기 위한 운전자의 동작과 일치하여 직관적인 장점이 있다. 전체 제어 구조를 제시하며, 실험에 적용하여 제안된 방식의 타당성을 확인한다.
