As the conventional hydraulic power steering system in the passenger vehicles is being rapidly replaced by EPS (Electric Power Steering) system, performance evaluation of the EPS system has become an important issue in the automotive industries. But the evaluation process takes significant expertise since steering conditions in the test protocols must be implemented with high accuracy. EPS HILS (Hardware-In the-Loop Simulation) system is developed together with robot steering system in this study. Main components of EPS HILS system include: C-EPS hardware, CarSim vehicle model, and road reaction force generation system powered by servo motor. The robot steering system, operated by another servo motor, was combined with EPS HILS system to substitute for steering efforts of human driver. The road reaction force generation system and the robot steering system were carefully validated by using the data obtained from vehicle tests. An on-center handling test was conducted by using EPS HILS system combined with the robot steering system. In the result of this study, robot-steered EPS HILS system developed with its high reliability and no need of skilled driver's, can be widely adopted to evaluate any performance of EPS system.

In this paper, steering systems for mobile robot with permanent magnet wheels are discussed. The mobile robot with permanent magnet wheels can have three different types of steering and driving configurations; two-wheels, three-wheels, four-wheels. By a Two-WD(Wheel Driving) system, driving and steering characteristics are controlled by ratio of each wheel speeds. Three-WD system is steered by a front wheel and driven by rear wheels. Four-WD system has better stability than two wheel system. Usually the permanent magnet wheel has nearly none slip. Thus turning radius of the mobile robot with three-WD and four-WD System will be increased and the steering and driving system will be complicated. To solve this problem, two magnet wheels with two dummy wheels are used in this study. fuming radius of the developed mobile robot is small and the structure of the robot is simple. It is possible to move forward, backward, to turn left and right, and to rotate freely with two-WD. This study proved that two-WD system is very suitable fur the mobile robot with permanent magnet wheels.

This paper proposes a 2D joystick and LoRa-based teleoperation system for the Ackermman steering mobile robot. The proposed joystick mapping algorithm reduces the linear speed of the robot when the joystick is steered in the direction of the maximum steering angle in the high-speed driving state of a mobile robot to reduce the risk of rollover. The LoRa-based remote operation system is designed for remote operation of mobile robots that require long range communication with relatively little data transmission and low power. The proposed system is implemented and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the teleoperation system with respect to the stability of communication strength and the robot motion.

This paper presents a robot which is steered by vision system. The proposed robot system has an AM188ES CPU(5.3 MIPS) and 2DC motors with encoder and turns accurately at any speed and shows a movement like a human controlled car using a steering wheel. To the robot only steering angle value is sent without considering the speed. We present how to control this robot using our real time vision system.

기존의 횡 방향제어 알고리즘은 도로에서 발생할 수 있는 변수를 고려하여 알고리즘을 작성해야 했다. 이러한 제어 알고리즘을 작성하기 위해서는 주행해야 하는 도로에 따라 파라미터를 재조정해야 하는 문제와 대량의 계산이 요구되는 모델링 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 지능적 횡 방향제어가 가능한 학습알고리즘에 관해 연구하였다. 학습알고리즘은 인공지능 알고리즘 중 자기구성 알고리즘을 사용하였으며 학습데이터는 도로의 특징점을 이용하였다. 컴퓨터를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문의 학습알고리즘에 의한 조향제어가 가능한 것을 알 수 있었고 실제로 주행이 가능한 자율이동로봇에 적용하여 학습에 의한 횡 방향제어가 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

Automation is important in modern agricultural environment, which demands the highest level of technology. In the paper an independent four-wheel steering driving platform is developed especially for horticulture in glass house farm. Mathematical modeling of the four wheel system is carried out for smooth movement. The relationships between steering angle, the turning radius, and escape trajectory are simulated using the dynamic analysis program. Optimal driving algorithm is sought through the performance evaluation.

본 논문은 조향구조를 갖는 이동로봇의 조향 제어를 위해 PID 제어기의 이득을 튜닝 방법을 제안한다. PID 이득을 설정하는 다양한 방법들이 제시되고 연구되고 있다. 이득은 지글러-니콜스의 계단형 입력으로부터 이득을 얻는 방법으로 얻어진 이득을 이동로봇에 적용하고 이를 시험하여 다시 2차 전달함수에 의해 새로운 이득을 계산하였다. 얻어진 새로운 이득으로 응답시간 및 유지오차율에 관한 실험을 수행하여 PID 자동 튜닝의 성능을 확인하였다. 유지시간, 응답시간 및 수렴시간에 대한 실험결과로 이동로봇의 조향 시스템에서 사용이 가능하고 응답 시간이 빠르게 도달할 수 있으며 안정하게 제어됨을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is manufacturing of monolithic housing for modularization of steering gear. Monolithic housing is difficult to weld with only rotation and linear motion. It is for this reason that housing of joining parts have a slope of 76.3 degrees. For this reason, welding trajectory was measured by the cooperative controled robot system, and then allowing for measured results, we developed the dedicated system. The developed system can be welded by using only 3 axises in contrast with robot system using 8 axises in housing welding. In addition, we applied CMT and laser welding device to dedicated system and as a result of experiment, sound bead and excellent roundness could be obtained.

In this paper, the wall following navigation algorithm of the mobile robot using a mono vision system is described. The key points of the mobile robot navigation system are effective acquisition of the environmental information and fast recognition of the robot position. Also, from this information, the mobile robot should be appropriately controlled to follow a desired path. For the recognition of the relative position and orientation of the robot to the wall, the features of the corridor structure are extracted using the mono vision system, then the relative position, the offset distance and steering angle of the robot from the wall, is derived for a simple corridor geometry. For the alleviation of the computation burden of the image processing, the Kalman filter is used to reduce search region in the image space for line detection. Next, the robot is controlled by this information to follow the desired path. The wall following control scheme by the PD control scheme is composed of two control parts, the approaching control and the orientation control, and each control is performed by steering and forward-driving motion of the robot. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the real time navigation experiments are performed. Through the result of the experiments, the effectiveness and flexibility of the suggested algorithm are verified in comparison with a pure encoder-guided mobile robot navigation system.

This paper proposes a steering control algorithm for non-holonomic mobile robots. The steering control algorithm is essential to navigate autonomous vehicles which employ comination of the dead reckoning and absolute sensor system such as a machine vison for detecting landmarks in order to estimate the current location of the mobile robot. The proposed algorithm is based on the minimum time BANG-BANG controller and curvature-continuity curve design method. In the BANG-BANG control scheme we introduce velocity/acceleration limiter to avoid any slippage of driving wheels. The proposed scheme is robot-independent and hence can be applied to various kinds of mobile robot or vehicles. To show the effectness of the proposed control algorithm, a series of computer simulations were conducted for two-wheel driven mobile robot.
