Two methodological problems of UGV design are formulated. The first problem is the difference between the purpose of creating a self-driving automobile from UGV, which leads to fundamentally different systemic solutions. The second methodological problem is associated with the need for sufficiently deep knowledge and the ability to work with a number of technologies that are used in the complex to create a control system for self-driving. The joint analysis of these problems allowed us to put forward a number of control systems design principles for self-driving UGV, including the principle of upcycling, the principle of using a discrete-event model for the logical synchronization of the operation of modules and the principle of ensuring the functional safety of the UGV during autonomous movement. The principle of using the discrete-event model for synchronizing the operation of software modules is explained by the example of a Petri net. A general solution to the problem of quantitative evaluation of the safety of autonomous movement of UGV is presented. The considered principles were used during development of prototypes of self-driving control systems for various purposes.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126662477","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}

Subtasks that have to be solved to implement a high-level understanding of the environment are considered. The basis here is an understanding of the geometry and semantics of the scene, which can be decomposed into subtasks of robot localization, mapping and semantic analysis. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques have already been successfully applied and, although they have some as yet unresolved problems for dynamic environments, do not present a problem for this issue. The focus of the work is on the task of semantic analysis of the scene, which assumes three-dimensional segmentation. The field of 3D segmentation, like the field of image segmentation, has been decomposed into semantic and object segmentation, contrary to the needs of many potential applications. However, at present, panoptic segmentation is beginning to develop, combining the two previous ones and most fully describing the scene. The paper reviews the methods of 3D panoptic segmentation, identifies promising approaches. The actual problems of the scene recognition problem are also discussed. There is a clear trend towards the development of complex incremental methods of metric-semantic SLAM, which combine segmentation with SLAM methods, and the use of scene graphs, which allow describing the geometry, semantics of scene elements and the relationship between them. Scene graphs are especially promising for the field of mobile robotics, since they provide a transition from low-level representations of objects and spaces (for example, segmented point clouds) to describing a scene at a high level of abstraction, close to a human one (a list of objects in a scene, their properties and location relative to each other).","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121806499","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 statement of the problem of autonomous movement along a given trajectory, the assumptions and restrictions adopted are presented. The features of the application of model predictive control for solving the problem are described. A feature of the proposed implementation of the trajectory controller is the use of a linearized chassis dynamics model to predict the position of the robot after a given period of time and control the movement without solving the optimal control problem. To determine the parameters of the dynamic model of the robotic complex, taking into account the drive level, the identification problem was solved, as a result of which two linear models with delay were obtained, describing the dynamics of the longitudinal movement and rotation of the robot. The experiment showed that the obtained models provide high compliance with experimental data, while the robot moves on a surface with a constant coefficient of friction. An algorithm for calculating the predicted position, a block diagram of the trajectory controller and its software implementation are described. The implemented trajectory controller provides autonomous movement of an UGV in an industrial-urban environment or in slightly rugged terrain.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129822720","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}
