A Sensor Fusion Based Nonholonomic Wheeled Mobile Robot for Tracking Control.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a detail design procedure of the real-time trajectory tracking for the nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (NWMR) is proposed. A 9-axis micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor is used to measure the posture of the NWMR, the position information of NWMR and the hand-held device are acquired by global positioning system (GPS) and then transmit via radio frequency (RF) module. In addition, in order to avoid the gimbal lock produced by the posture computation from Euler angles, the quaternion is utilized to compute the posture of the NWMR. Furthermore, the Kalman filter is used to filter out the readout noise of the GPS and calculate the position of NWMR and then track the object. The simulation results show the posture error between the NWMR and the hand-held device can converge to zero after 3.928 seconds for the dynamic tracking. Lastly, the experimental results show the validation and feasibility of the proposed results.

Project description:Unmanned vehicles need to make a comprehensive perception of the surrounding environmental information during driving. Perception of automotive information is of significance. In the field of automotive perception, the sterevision of car-detection plays a vital role and sterevision can calculate the length, width, and height of a car, making the car more specific. However, under the existing technology, it is impossible to obtain accurate detection in a complex environment by relying on a single sensor. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the complex sensing technology based on multi-sensor fusion. Recently, with the development of deep learning in the field of vision, a mobile sensor-fusion method based on deep learning is proposed and applied in this paper--Mobile Deep Sensor Fusion Model (MDSFM). The content of this article is as follows. It does a data processing that projects 3D data to 2D data, which can form a dataset suitable for the model, thereby training data more efficiently. In the modules of LiDAR, it uses a revised squeezeNet structure to lighten the model and reduce parameters. In the modules of cameras, it uses the improved design of detecting module in R-CNN with a Mobile Spatial Attention Module (MSAM). In the fused part, it uses a dual-view deep fusing structure. And then it selects images from the KITTI's datasets for validation to test this model. Compared with other recognized methods, it shows that our model has a fairly good performance. Finally, it implements a ROS program on the experimental car and our model is in good condition. The result shows that it can improve performance of detecting easy cars significantly through MDSFM. It increases the quality of the detected data and improves the generalized ability of car-detection model. It improves contextual relevance and preserves background information. It remains stable in driverless environments. It is applied in the realistic scenario and proves that the model has a good practical value.

Project description:ObjectiveTo reduce the danger for firefighters and ensure the safety of firefighters as much as possible, based on the back propagation neural network (BPNN) the fire sensor multi-sensor information fusion detection system is investigated.MethodAccording to previous studies, the information sources and information processing methods for the design of this study are first explained. Then, the basic structure and flowchart of the research object in this study are designed. Based on the structure diagram and flowchart, the BPNN is selected to fuse the feature layers in this study, and the fuzzy control is selected to fuse the decision layers in this study. The multi-sensor information fusion detection system collects information for the sensors first, processes the collected information, and sends it to the processor of the robot. The processor analyzes and processes the received signal, and transmits the obtained information to the control terminal through the wireless communication system.ResultsThrough the tests in this study, it is found that when the number of hidden layer nodes of the BPNN is 7, the optimal training result is obtained. On this basis, the test of BPNN in this study is performed. The test results show that after 127 iterations, the error of the BPNN reaches the lowest target value, indicating that the BPNN achieves an excellent level of accuracy. The trained BPNN has a running time of 0.0276 s and a mean square error of 0.0013. The smaller the mean square error value is, the higher the accuracy of the BPNN is, which shows that the BPNN meets the high precision requirements of this study.ConclusionThe research on the multi-sensor information fusion detection system of fire robots in this study can provide theoretical support for the research on forest fire detection in China. Since the proposed BPNN-based robot is applied to the inspection and processing of forest remaining fire, the results are applicable to the forests of various countries, with a wide range of applications.

Project description:This article provides a perspective on estimation and control problems in cyberphysical human systems (CPHSs) that work at the intersection of cyberphysical systems and human systems. The article also discusses solutions to some of the problems in CPHSs. One example of a CPHS is a close-proximity human-robot collaboration (HRC) in a manufacturing setting. The issue of the joint operation's efficiency and human factors, such as safety, attention, mental states, and comfort, naturally arise in the HRC context. By considering human factors, robots' actions can be controlled to achieve objectives, including safe operations and human comfort. Alternately, questions arise when robot factors are considered. For example, can we provide direct inputs and information to humans about an environment and the robots in the area such that the objectives of safety, efficiency, and comfort can be satisfied by considering the robots' current capabilities? The article discusses specific problems involved in HRC related to controlling a robot's motion by taking the current actions of the human in the loop with the robot's control system. To this end, two main challenges are discussed: 1) inferring the intention behind human actions by analyzing a person's motion as observed through skeletal tracking and gaze data and 2) a controller design that keeps robot motion constrained to a boundary in a 3D space by using control barrier functions. The intention inference method fuses skeleton-joint tracking data obtained using the Microsoft Kinect sensor and human gaze data gathered from red-green-blue Kinect images. The direction of a human's hand-reaching motion and a goal-reaching point is estimated while performing a joint pick-and-place task. The trajectory of the hand is estimated forward in time based on the gaze and hand motion data at the current time instance. A barrier function method is applied to generate safe robot trajectories along with forecast hand movements to complete the collaborative displacement of an object by a person and a robot. An adaptive controller is then used to track the reference trajectories using the Baxter robot, which is tested in a Gazebo simulation environment.
