  • Balanced Motions Realization for a Mechanical Regulators Free and Front-Wheel Drive Bicycle Robot Under Zero Forward Speed
    International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yonghua Huang, Qizheng Liao, Lei Guo, Shimin Wei
    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on a mechanical regulator free and front- wheel Drive bicycle robot. We present a scheme to achieve the robotʹs track-stand motion and circular motion under zero forward speed. In a situation where the robotʹs front-bar is locked at 90 degrees, a kinetic constraint about the rotating rate of the Front-Wheel and the yawing rate of the frame is derived. Using the constraint as a basis, we developed a simplified model of two independent velocities for the robot. The model suggests there is an under- actuated rolling angle in the system. Our control strategy originates from the under- actuated characteristics of the robot system. Concretely, we linearize the rolling angle of the frame and set the bicycle robot to regulate its tilting by rotating the Front-Wheel. In the track-stand motion, we control the position and the rotational rate of the Front-Wheel; but in the circular motion, only the rotational rate of the Front-Wheel is strictly regulated. Both simulations and physical experiments results show that our strategy is effective for achieving these two motions.

    Abstract:

    In view of the difficulty of balanced control in low speed for bicycle robot without regulator weight,a Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot is concerned,dynamics of the robot and stable-balanced controller for the track-stand motion under 45° front-bar turning angle are investigated.Considering wheels' turning radius,yaw angle velocity of frame and rotational velocity of rear-wheel are derived from rotational velocity of Front-Wheel and rotational angle of front-bar,dynamics for the system is established with Lagrange Formulation.By the linearization of under-actuated subsystem of frame rolling angle,controller for 45° front-bar turning angle track-stand motion is constructed with partial feedback linearization.Numerical simulation for the controller shows the bicycle robot can realize 45° front-bar turning angle track-stand motion quickly with appropriate controller parameters.Prototype experiment further validates track-stand motion can be achieved with torque not exceeding driving motor's torque tolerance.The study verifies from theory and experiment that,in low running velocity,the Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot can keep balance only with front-bar turning and Front-Wheel driving torque,and regulator weight is not prerequisite.

    Abstract:

    Considering pure rolling condition and track stand motion's characteristics of front-bar being vertical to frame,nonholonomic constraints between Front-Wheel's driving angle velocity and frame's yaw angle rotational rate are derived,from which dynamic model is built by Lagrange formulation.With partial feedback linearization method,a track stand motion controller is designed,in which the under-actuated frame rolling angle is linearized and the whole dynamics are taken as output.Simulation of the controller indicates that,under proper parameters,the track stand motion within ±10° rolling angle can be achieved quickly with a small driving torque.Experiment also validates that,with the proposed controller,the Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot can realized a small rolling angle range of track stand motion only by Front-Wheel driving torque input.

  • Control and Realization of the Rotation Stand Motion for a Bicycle Robot With Front-Wheel Drive

    Co-Authors: Guo Lei
    Abstract:

    Dynamics for a Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot is established under the state of frame being vertical to front-bar,and stable-balanced control of the rotation stand is investigated.Rolling rate of frame is derived with driving velocity of Front-Wheel by combining frame and front-bar's orthogonal configuration and Front-Wheel's pure rolling assumption.Dynamic model is built with Lagrange formulation.Nonlinear controller for the rotation stand motion is constructed based on partial feedback linearization technology.The controller linearizes the underactuated rolling angle of frame,takes the whole dynamics as output,and sets the rolling angle with a fixed value.Simulation and prototype experiment with the proposed controller indicates that the rotation stand motion can be achieved stably,and different given rolling angle leads to different rotational frequence in which the relationship can be approximately described as a simple linearized function.

  • Modeling and analyzing of stable equilibrium motion of a bicycle robot with Front-Wheel Drive by using moment balance
    2010 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2010
    Co-Authors: Yonghua Huang, Qizheng Liao, Shimin Wei, Lei Guo
    Abstract:

    Bicycle robot have two points contacting with its support plane, and the connecting line between these two point can be dealt with equilibrium axis when the bicycle perform regular motions. In this paper, we discuses stable equilibrium motion of a Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot by use of moment balance of inertial forces and gravities. Firstly, under the presupposition of rolling without sliding, recursion forms of velocities and accelerations of the robot are derived with generalized speeds. The derivations reveal there are three nonholonomic velocity constraints in the system. Secondly, stable equilibrium motion mathematical model is established by fully considering moment balance of gravities and inertial forces of the robot. The model indicates the robot system holds one under-actuated degree of freedom. Thirdly, virtual prototype is constructed in ADAMS and balancing motion is performed to validate the proposed model. And finally, numerical simulations are carried out in MATLAB to analyze stable equilibrium motion of the robot under different situations. The result shows that the bicycle robot can realize stable equilibrium motion with proper steering angle and driving angular velocity of Front-Wheel.

  • Dynamic modeling and analysis of a Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot moving on a slope
    2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Yonghua Huang, Qizheng Liao, Shimin Wei, Lei Guo
    Abstract:

    Bicycle robots are such a kind of mobile robots subjected to nonholonomic constraints and under-actuated degree of freedom (DOF) simultaneously, and it is a common scenario for these robots to climb a slope. The research in this paper is focused on dynamic modeling and dynamic characteristics analysis of a Front-Wheel Drive bicycle robot under the state of slope-climbing. The concepts of critical angle and critical driving torque were proposed to estimate the slope-climbing capability. Kinematics of the robot was derived under the assumption of rolling without slipping of the two road wheels on a slope plane. Recursion dynamic model of the bicycle robot was constructed by using Kane equation and energy and work analysis is introduced to validate the model. Numerical simulations of the running behavior on different gradients were implemented in MATLAB to analyze the dynamical characteristics of the bicycle robot. Simulations results show the model is basically in agreement with the real working condition of the bicycle robot.
