In this paper, we identify the isotropic configurations of an omnidirectional mobile robot with three caster wheels, depending on the selection of actuated joints. First, We obtain the kinematic model of a caster wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot(COMR) without matrix inversion. For a given task velocity, the instantaneous motion of each wheel is decomposed into two orthogonal instantaneous motions of the steering and the rotating joints. Second, with the characteristic length introduced, we derive the isotropy conditions of a COMR having $n({\ge}3)$ actuated joints, which are imposed on two Jacobian matrices, $A{\in}R^{n{\times}3}$ and $B{\in}R^{6{\times}6}$. Under the condition of $B{\propto}I_6$, three caster wheels should have identical structure with the length of the steering link equal to the radius of the wheel. Third, depending on the selection of actuated joints, we derive the conditions for $A^t$ $A{\propto}I_3$ and identify the isotropic configurations of a COMR. All possible actuation sets with different number of actuated joints and different combination of rotating and steering joins are considered.

This paper presents a method to design an adaptive controller for the kinematic model of a two-wheeled welding mobile robot (WMR) with unknown parameters. We propose a nonlinear controller based on the Lyapunov function to enhance the tracking properties of the WMR. The WMR can track any smooth curved welding path at a constant velocity of the welding point. The system has three degrees of freedom including two wheels and one torch slider. Torch slider motion is used for fast tracking. To design the tracking performance, the errors from WMR to steel wall is defined, and the controller is designed to drive the errors to zero as fast as possible. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is shown through simulation results.

Conventional path tracking methods designed for two-wheeled differential drive robots are not suitable for omni-directional robots. In this study, we present a controller which can accomplish more accurate path tracking and orientation correction by exploiting the unconstrained movement capability of omni-directional robots. The proposed controller is proven to be stable using a Lyapunov stability criterion. Various experiments in real environments show that performance of path tracking and orientation correction has improved in the proposed controller.

This paper presents the development and balancing control of GYROBO, a one wheeled mobile robot system. GYROBO is a disc type one wheel mobile robot that has three actuators, a drive motor, a spin motor, and a tilt motor. The dynamics and kinematics of GYROBO are analyzed, and simulation studies conducted. A one-wheeled robot, GYROBO is built and its balancing control is performed. Experimental studies of GYROBO's balancing abilities are conducted to demonstrate the gyroscopic effects generated by the spin and tilt angles of a flywheel.

In this paper, we develop a single wheeled robot that has one wheel to move. The single wheel robot is similar to a rolling disk relying on gyroscopic motions to balance. The Gyrobo consists of three actuators: a spin motor, a tilt motor and a drive motor. The spin motor spins a flywheel at high rate so that it provides the balancing stability to upright the robot. The tilt motor controls steering of the robot by gyroscopic effect. The drive motor make forward accelerated motion to the robot. We have built and tested the Gyrobo to turn and move forward.

This paper is about control of Automated Guided Vehicle for path following using fuzzy logic controller. The Automated Guided Vehicle is a tricycle wheeled mobile robot with three wheels, two fixed passive wheels and one steering driving wheel. First, kinematic and dynamic modeling for Automated Guided Vehicle is presented. Second, a controller that integrates two control loops, kinematic control loop and dynamic control loop, is designed for Automated Guided Vehicle to follow an unknown path. The kinematic control loop based on Fuzzy logic framework and the dynamic control loop based on two PID controllers are proposed. Simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

The dynamics of the DDWMR depends on the velocity difference of the two driving wheels. And which is known as a type of non-holonomic equation. By this reason, the treatment of DDWMR had become difficult and conservative. In this paper, the differential-driving wheeled mobile robot is considered. The Takaki-Surgeno fuzzy model and a control method for DDWMR is presented. The suggested controller has three control elements. The first element is fuzzy state feedback designed for eliminating the dependence of time-varying parameter. The second element is weighting controller which is designed for good frequency response. The third controller is PI-controller which is designed for good command following and robustness with un-modeled dynamics. In order for achieving the performance objective, the design of controller is based on the loop-shaping algorithm.

This paper proposes a method of avoiding obstacles and tracking a moving object continuously and simultaneously by using new concepts of virtual tow point and fuzzy danger factor for differential wheeled mobile robots. Since differential wheeled mobile robot has smaller degree of freedom to control and are non-holonomic systems, there exist multiple solutions (trajectories) to control and reach a target position. The paper proposes 'fuzzy danger factor' for obstacles avoidance, 'virtual tow point' to solve non-holonomic object tracking control problem for unique solution and three kinds of fuzzy logic controller. The fuzzy logic controller is policy decision controller with fuzzy danger factor to decide which controller's result is more valuable when the mobile robot is tracking a moving object with obstacles to be avoided.

본 논문에서는 퍼지모델의 최적 입-출력 소속함수들(membership functions) 및 규칙기반(rulebase) 얻기 위한 자율가변구조의 신경망 알고리즘을 제안하였으며 구륜 이동 로봇(WMR : Wheeled Mobile Robot)의 위치, 속도 방향제어를 위한 퍼지-신경망 제어기 설계를 설계하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서 입-출력 소속함수의 파라미터들을 찾기 위하여 유전알고리즘을 응용한다. 유전알고리즘에 의해 출력술어의 원소가 증가되며, 규칙기반이 원소의 증가에 의하여 조절된다. 새롭게 조절된 제어기는 출력술어의 증가를 수행하지 않은 제어기와 경쟁하며. 만약 새롭게 조절되어진 퍼지-신경망 제어기가 경쟁에서 진다면, 그 제어법칙은 소멸한다. 그 반대로 조절된 제어기가 생존한다면, 출력술어의 증가된 각 원소들 및 변화된 시스템의 규칙기반이 제어기에 적용된다. 출력술어 및 규칙의 조절이 완료된 후 입력소속함수들에 대한 탐색이 제약조건을 가지고 수행되며 입력소속함수들의 탐색이 완료된 후 출력소속함수의 미세 조정이 수행된다.

본 연구에서는 전기이륜차의 1회충전주행거리를 알아보기 위해 도로 주행시험과 차대동력계(Chassis Dynamometer) 주행시험을 하였다. 도로주행시험은 대전시(Daejeon Metropolitan City)의 도로 중 대표적인 3가지 루트에서 주행시험을 하였다. 차대동력계를 이용한 CVS-40모드 주행시험의 경우 도로 부하조건을 다양하게 설정하여 CVS-40 모드주행을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 도로에서의 전기이륜차의 1회 충전주행거리(Per-Charge Range Testing)를 확인하고, 차대동력계 도로부하 설정방법에 따른 주행거리 및 에너지소비효율을 측정하였다. 이를 통해 실도로 주행시험과 차대동력계 주행시험을 비교하여, 차대동력계 실험에서도 전기이륜차 1회충전주행거리시험이 실도로에서의 주행조건과 근접한 결과를 갖는 도로부하 설정에 대해 연구하였다.
