Differential Steering Control for 6 × 6 Wheel-drive Mobile Robot

摘要

The 6 × 6 Wheel-drive mobile robot is widely used in the field of special operations, and there is the phenomenon of slipping in the process of steering. To study the steering accuracy and stability of mobile robot, the dynamic model of 6 × 6 Wheel-drive Mobile Robot is established, and the sliding mode control strategy of differential steering based on mobile robot is proposed. Firstly, taking the torque of six wheels and the operator’s direction control as input, the three-dimensional attitude and the relative position of the steering center of the mobile robot are obtained by using the position and attitude sensor, to determine the reference steering angle of the mobile robot. Secondly, considering the relationship between the position error and the velocity error, a recursive sliding surface is designed, and a neural network is introduced to approach the uncertain part of the mobile robot model. Then, a nonlinear gain function is applied to construct a dynamic surface control law. Finally, through the Trucksim/Simulink co-simulation model, the nonlinear gain recursive sliding mode dynamic surface adaptive control method for mobile robot trajectory tracking can improve the tracking speed and control precision, and the control force and torque are smooth and reasonable. The results show that the method is effective in improving the steering accuracy and stability of mobile robot.
