In order to perform safe driving with autonomous driving control, it is necessary to consider unexpected disturbances when the vehicle is moving and that tire forces have limitations. We propose autonomous driving control combining Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC). In this paper, we employ MPC in order to consider the maximum tire forces. SMC is employed to deal with unexpected disturbances that the model has not anticipated. Furthermore, we confirmed that path following control is possible by practical inspection using a small front-wheel steering vehicle that is susceptible to unexpected disturbances.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"744 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132091741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is realized using two vision cameras attached on a wheeled mobile robot. The first camera is positioned at front-looking direction while the second camera is positioned at downward-looking direction. An algorithm is developed to process the images acquired from the cameras to yield the mobile robot's positions and orientations. The proposed algorithm is implemented on a wheeled mobile robot for real-world effectiveness testing. Results are compared and shown the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. At the end of the paper, an artificial landmark approach is introduced to improve the navigation efficiency. Future work involved implementing the proposed artificial landmark for indoor navigation applications with minimized accumulated errors.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127306053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By helping the driver to avoid dangerous situations while letting him in charge of the behavior of the vehicle during normal conditions, this kind of system combines both the rapid reactions of an automated system and the human ability to react to unpredictable scenarios. The main demanding aspect of such an assistance is the capability to detect every encountered hazard and to correctly estimate both its nature and location in the space of the moving vehicle. For that purpose, this paper describes an implementation of an active driving assistant on an electric car, as well as the detection process of the dangers, their identifications and location estimations. Moreover to ensure a better detection coverage of the surrounding of the vehicle, a sharing process of the detected hazards between different systems in the controlled car environment is presented.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128785507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the Mecanum wheel trades off energy efficiency for maneuverability. This paper proposes a novel energy consumption model of the four-wheel omnidirectional Mecanum mobile robots. The model is built based on a comprehensive understanding of the kinematics, dynamics, and energy flow of the Mecanum mobile robot. The energy consumption model has been mathematically implemented in MATLAB, and experimentally validated on Auckbot, the Mecanum mobile robot, developed in our lab. Simulation and experimental results show that for omnidirectional motion primitives on the ground plane, the energy consumption model has over 98% accuracy. This proposed energy consumption model is essential to the energy-optimal motion planning for the Mecanum mobile robot.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127178595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
