Design and implementation of intelligent driving controller for car-like mobile robot

摘要

This paper presents the design and implementation of the intelligent driving control and accomplishes it in a car-like mobile robot, which possesses the function to accept the command from the cellular phone through Bluetooth, and then estimates the environment by integration of ultrasonic sensors array and image sensors. We utilize the NIOS embedded system development board as a low level controller to compute these received data and then decide the reactive behavior. Furthermore, the system architecture of the car-like mobile robot contains the reconstruction of the chassis of the robot, NIOS development board, DC motor unit, servo motor unit, driver circuit, ultrasonic sensors, accelerometer, cellular phone, and image sensors. Additionally, this paper also addresses how to process and analyze the input signals of image sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and accelerometer. Finally, it is perceived that our intelligent driving controller is feasible and effective from the practical experiments.
