Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of automatic control, and particularly relates to an autonomous ball-wheel-moving robot and a control method thereof. The autonomous ball-wheel-moving robot comprises a spherical wheel (1), a universal wheel driving mechanism (2), a support structure (3), an assisting bracket (6), a control module (4) and a sensor, wherein the sensor detects the robot posture and the environment information; the control module (4) analyzes the environment information to obtain a control strategy through the balancing algorithm and the motion control algorithm, and sends control signals to the universal wheel driving mechanism (2); the universal wheel driving mechanism (2) drives a direct current motor to move according to the control signals to drive the spherical wheel (1) to move; therefore, the posture and the movement of the robot are controlled. The autonomous ball-wheel-moving robot and the control method thereof can automatically realize static balance and dynamic balance, can pass through an obstacle-free channel, are good in mobility, and are strong in environmental adaptation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic control, in particular to a ball wheel mobile robot and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The research of spherical wheeled mobile robot has become a hotspot in the research of dynamic stable robot. The world's first ball-wheel robot was developed by Carnegie Mellon University in 2005. It is called CMU Ballbot. The robot has the size of an adult and uses an inverse mouse-driven structure. There is no mechanism to make the robot statically stable in the electric state, and an additional yaw mechanism is needed to realize yaw motion. In 2009, the new version of CMU Ballbot designed a leg support to solve the problem of static instability of the robot. However, the structure of the leg support is complicated, which makes the control of the robot more complicated. In 2008, Tohoku Gakuin University in Japan designed the BallIP robot. The robot uses three sets of symmetrical u...
