Because of the point contact between spherical shell and ground, the friction cannot counteract the change of motion state caused by motion error of inner drive unit when the robot is in a switching process between static configuration and dynamic configuration. A linear motion control method of two-pendulums-driven spherical robot is studied for the stable start-stop and speed control. The dynamic model of linear motion is constructed by Lagrange equation. A Gaussian function based smooth trajectory control method for linear motion is proposed through analysis of the relationship among dynamic parameters, and the correctness of the method is verified theoretically by simulation. A feedback controller of linear motion is designed to guarantee the accurate tracking of the expected value of practical control signals. The effectiveness of the controller is validated by simulation and prototype experiment.展开更多

School of Information Science & Engineering, Northeast University, Shenyang 110004, China)Abstract: A main characteristic of the reconfigurable mobile robot AMOEBA-1 is that it has diverse configurations, but some reconfigurations are difficult to realize under the influence of ground conditions. A cooperative reconfiguration method is proposed to reduce reconfiguration resistance and enhance the adaptability of the robot to the environment. The mathematical model is established correspondingly. The kinematics and mechanical properties of each section of the robot are analyzed. A part of resistance is transformed into active force of reconfiguration, and transforms are actualized among five specific configurations. Further, the linearization of model based on a perturbation analysis method is used to reduce the computational complexity. Finally, an evaluation criterion is proposed for AMOEBA-I's cooperative reconfiguration performance. The validity of the cooperative reconfiguration method is proved by simulations and experiments.展开更多
