Experimental Validation of Four-Wheel Mecanum Mobile Robots
摘要
This paper presents initial experimental results on this type of robot based on recent theoretical research by the author and research group. To begin with, FMWMR’s design and hardware architecture are presented. Following this, a Lidar scanner algorithm for mobile robot localization and mapping. Subsequently, a trajectory-tracking state feedback controller is introduced. Finally, discussions and comparison results between the simulation values on Simulink/Matlab and the experiments are provided to verify the control and operational performance of the manufactured FMWMR prototype. The results have created a complete physical model of FMWMR, allowing us to experiment with positioning and navigation algorithms based on multi-sensor data fusion and develop novel control algorithms integrating artificial intelligence to develop industrial versions of FMWMR in the future.
