Abstract

Double parking is very common in a parking lot where there is not sufficient parking space. When we double-park a car, we leave transmission gear in neutral position and release the emergency brake so that the double-parked car can be moved just by pushing it. However, moving a double-parked car by pushing is very hard and dangerous especially for the old and the weak. So, we propose an omni-directional mobile robot for moving a double-parked car easily and safely. The developed omni-directional mobile robot moves a double-parked car by rotating a wheel of a double-parked car. It has two specially designed rollers to rotate a wheel of a double-parked car and is designed so that the height of the robot is very low to be able to enter beneath a double-parked car. It can move a double-parked car safely by detecting obstacles in the way with five ultrasonic sensors. We verified by several experiments that the developed omni-directional mobile robot can be used to move a double-parked car easily and safely.
