Considering the dynamic performance and stability of railroad vehicles has begun to grab the attention because of developing the high speed train recently. A development based on an analysis of dynamics and verification has to be required to study the stability of vehicle performance. Several ways of analysis were using the look-up table to apply the wheel-rail contact characteristics quickly, whereas there is a constraint of the wheelset lateral displacement. In this study, an development of searching the wheel-rail contact position has been provided. The 2-point contact between wheel and rail during the driving condition can be calculated by numerical analysis. Moreover, a reliability is verified by comparing the result with a commercial program.

A single-axis Cubli frame realized simply with an IMU sensor and DC motor is presented herein. To maintain the balance on the Cubli frame, an LQR controller based on a Lagrangian derivation of the dynamics was designed, which utilized the state variables of the frame angle and its angular acceleration, as well as the wheel angle and its angular acceleration. The designed LQR controller showed a settling time balancing capability of approximately two seconds and 40% of the maximum overshoot in Matlab/Simulink simulations. Our experimental results of the fabricated Cubli frame matched with the simulation results. It maintained balancing at the reference position even though an initial offset as well as external disturbance during the balancing was applied.

In this paper, an attempt has been made by incorporating variable wheel arrangement for a car-like robot. In this scheme, the car-like robot controls its body height and the length of forward and backward wheels while driving in omni-direction. Experimental results show that the proposed car-like robot with wheel arrangement variable structure presents effectiveness of several situations.(a. left and right turn, b. longitudinal and latitudinal parking, c. control of body height and the length of forward and backward wheels, d. passing over obstacles, e. adaptive cruise control.)

The problems occurred when developing a automatic wheel deburring system are to make effective flexibility in model change and the irregularity of the position/shape of the burr, to select optimal robotic manufacturing process and to develope optimal end effector. The locations where burr exists are on flange, rim and spoke. Here will be discussed the optimal solution for the removal of rim burr by using robot. The research can be summarized as the automatic robot path generation by recognizing rim contour and automatic deburring process technique. Various rim contour data is generated automatically when the sensor which is fixed to robot is moving with the parallel motion to the wheel center axis and this generated data is transferred to the data storage system and converted to the robot path data. The robotic tool system which is suitable to the rim deburring process is developed by integrating tool, compliance function and sensor. And factory automation system controlled by robot controller and PC is developed. This system shows good productivity and flexibility.

Generally, The position of mobile robot moving on the plane is measured by the method of dead reckoning, using the encoder system coupled on a wheel axis. But it is noted that the encoder system cannot check the slip of a wheel, often occurring in tracking of the mobile robot. In this study, using velocity angular velocity sensor with a tuning fork vibration system, the system is developed which can measure the directional angle of positional variables on the mobile robot. By measuring the variations of tracking direction mobile robot equipped with this system, following result is found; In spite of the slip at a wheel when measuring the tracking directional angle, the error occurs in the range of .+-. 1 (degree).

In this paper, a mobile system using multi-wheel steering and driving mechanism is proposed to maximize maneuverability of the wheeled mobile system. Among various possible configurations, the two-wheel steering and driving systems, which is minimal in structural requirement, is proposed to reduce the complexity in actual design and difficulties in control. The system possesses three or four degrees of freedom depending on the orientations of two wheels, one or two for driving and two for steering, which implies that the system's mobility is always less than three DOF. The proposed system, nonetheless, can exactly emulate characteristics of the omnidirectional motion as long as the planned path is smooth i.e., the curvature changes continuously while velocity is not zero. Efficient kinematic and dynamic control algorithms are proposed for position and orientation control of the proposed wheeled mobile system.

This article presents experimental studies of fuzzy logic application to control a two-wheel mobile robot(TWMR) system. The TWMR system is composed of two systems, an inverted pendulum system and a mobile robot system. Although linear controllers can stabilize the TWMR, fuzzy controllers are expected to have robustness to uncertainties so that the resulting performances are expected to be better. Nominal fuzzy rules are used to control balance and position of TWMR. Fuzzy logic is embedded on a DSP chip to control the TWMR. Balancing performances of the PID controller and the fuzzy controller under disturbances are compared through extensive experimental studies.

Free-path-type guidance system does not need a hardwired path in the environment so that it gives a mobile robot a flexible path. ln this study to achieve the free-path-type guidance system for a mobile robot which is steered by the differential steering of both drive forewheels, position recognition systems are constructed using odometer system as an internal position sensor. Two odometer systems, a auxiliary wheel odometer and a 2-encoder odometer system are constructed and path following algorithms using these odometer systems are designed and experimented. PID control type is adopted in the path following algorithms.

This paper presents a mobile of robot (for the blind) commanded by written course route on MAP. Its locomotion module is composed of PWM motor driving unit, wheel's rotation measurement unit and display and keyboard unit. In algorithm, "COMMAND" and "NEXT PREDICTED POSITION" for locomotion are computed from the MAP and the next position is compared with the measured one. Also, locomotion method for the convenience of the blind is discussed and experimentally demonstrated. In the experiment, the average speed of robot is 0.4m/sec and the computation error of the map is negligible.

To measure the accurate position of mobile robot, dead-reckoning method using the encoder attached to each wheel is conventionally used, since it is easy to compute and inexpensive to develop. However, that method is useless when slip occurs and error is accumulated with time. This paper proposes a position estimation method using encoder trailer composed of 2 encoders only(ET-2). This method provides accurate position information even when slip occurs, and can reduce accumulated error if we select the proper link lengths of encoder trailer. Experimental results show the performance of ET-2 when slip occurs. Finally, accumulated systematic error from encoder resolution is analyzed in comparison with an existing method with encoder trailer composed of 3 encoders. (As a matter of convenience, we will call the existing encoder trailer ‘ET-3’)
