Abstract

This paper presents a novel inertia moment estimation algorithm to enable the Active Force Control Scheme for tracking a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) effectively in a specific trajectory within constrained environments such as on roads or in factories. This algorithm, also known as laser simulator logic, has the capability to estimate the inertia moment of the AFC-controller when the robot is moving in a pre-planned path with the presence of noisy measurements. The estimation is accomplished by calculating the membership function based on the experts’ views in any form (symmetric or non-symmetric) with lowly or highly overlapped linguistic variables. A new Proportional-Derivative Active Force Controller (PD-AFC-LS-QC), employing the use of laser simulator logic and quick compensation loop, has been developed in this paper to robustly reject the noise and disturbances. This controller has three feedback control loops, namely, internal, external and quick compensation loops to compensate effectively the disturbances in the constrained environments. A simulation and experimental studies on WMR path control in two kinds of environments; namely, zigzag and highly curved terrains, were conducted to verify the proposed algorithm and controller which was then compared with other existed control schemes. The results of the simulation and experimental works show the capability of the proposed algorithms and the controller to robustly move the WMR in the constrained environments.
