Abstract
In this paper, an autonomous navigation and control method is proposed for an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) based on digital twin (DT). An OMR-based DT system is designed from four dimensions, i.e., physical space, virtual space, application service and data processing. By the DT system, the autonomous navigation and control method is implemented from two steps: Autonomous navigation in virtual space and physical-virtual motion synchronization. The autonomous navigation of a virtual OMR is completed by fusion of an Astar algorithm and a dynamic windows approach in virtual environment. After obtaining an optimal navigation trajectory in virtual space, a physical OMR is driven by a physical-virtual motion synchronization method. Integral sliding mode controllers are designed to enhance robustness of the physical-virtual motion synchronization such that velocity tracking errors between the physical OMR and the virtual OMR are convergent. Experiment results show effectiveness of the DT-based autonomous navigation and control method by a physical-virtual synchronization tracking error 0.061 m and capability to handle various tasks.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
