TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of reconnaissance robots, and particularly relates to a wheel-leg type air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot based on super-helical sliding mode. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern society, the urban environment is complex, and after natural disasters attack, the collapsed buildings and damaged roads in the city all cause great difficulty for personnel search and rescue, and currently, the robots used for search and rescue are mainly air reconnaissance robots and ground reconnaissance robots. However, the air robots are short in endurance time, large in size, and poor in weather adaptability, and these shortcomings limit the reconnaissance tasks that can be performed by the air robots; the ground reconnaissance robots are difficult to cross when encountering complex obstacles such as gullies, high walls and low-lying places, and the reconnaissance range is limited, so the air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot combining the advantages of the two has great research significance.

[0003] The existing air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot can realize the combination of air and ground modes, and improve the terrain adaptability and reconnaissance range of the robot, but due to the design limitation of the ground traveling mechanism, the ground reconnaissance level of the robot is low, and only the view angle equivalent to the height of the robot body can be obtained. In the ground reconnaissance process, if a higher shelter is encountered, the view angle behind the shelter cannot be obtained, which greatly limits the ground reconnaissance range of the air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot.

[0052] Specifically, the flight control cavity 14 is internally provided with a flight control, an electronic governor, and a GPS for realizing stable flight of the robot. The upper and lower double-layer supports can provide good protection for the internal hardware. The camera device 8 is arranged at the front end of the multi-diffuser flight frame keel 3 and is fixed on the multi-diffuser flight frame through two side adjusting screws 15. The camera device can adjust the pitch of the camera 16 by adjusting the adjusting screw 15 to realize the change of the photography angle.

[0053] Specifically, the wheel-leg chassis 2 comprises a torso control cavity 4 and a wheel-leg mechanism 5 and a motor cavity 6. The wheel-leg mechanism 5 comprises a front thigh support rod 22, a front shank support rod 24, a rear thigh support rod 23 and a rear shank support rod 25. The front thigh support rod 22, the front shank support rod 24, the rear thigh support rod 23 and the rear shank support rod 25 form a five-bar linkage with the torso control cavity 4; the upper ends of the front thigh support rod 22 and the rear thigh support rod 23 are directly connected with a rudder on one side of the torso control cavity 4, the upper ends of the front shank support rod 24 and the rear shank support rod 25 are connected with the lower ends of the front thigh support rod 22 and the rear thigh support rod 23 through bearings, and the lower ends of the front shank support rod 24 and the rear shank support rod 25 are connected with the motor cavity 6 through bearings; the rudder transmits torsional force to the front shank support rod 24 and the rear shank support rod 25 by twisting the front thigh support rod 22 and the rear thigh support rod 23, and rotates around the bearings at the connection positions; since the lower ends of the front shank support rod 24 and the rear shank support rod 25 are fixed on the bearings at the two ends of the motor cavity 6, the robot wheel-leg can be controlled to rise and fall by rotating the bearings at the two ends, thereby adjusting the height of the robot.

[0054] Specifically, the motor cavity 6 comprises a chassis motor 7, a wheel hub 27 and a tire 26. The chassis motor 7 is arranged in the wheel hub 27, and the tire 26 is wrapped outside the wheel hub 27; the torso control cavity 4 mainly comprises four rudders, a main controller, a battery and various electrical components; the four rudders, the main controller, the battery and various electrical components are arranged inside the torso control cavity 4, so that the chassis-related hardware can be well protected; the main controller is directly connected with the rudders, a chassis motor control board and a flight control of the robot, controls the ground mode movement of the robot and the issuance of the core instructions in the flight mode; the rudders are used to control the rising and falling and locking of the wheel-leg, and the coordinated rotation of the rudders on both sides realizes the rotational movement of the knee bearings of the wheel-leg as the center, and then the wheel-leg is elongated and contracted. The main controller is powered by the battery, the battery is electrically connected with the power supply, and the battery supplies power to each device of the robot.

[0055] Specifically, when the robot moves in the ground mode, the height of the robot can be controlled by controlling the rudders of the wheel-leg chassis 2, so that more levels of perspective or the robot itself can be hidden; when the robot is in the flight mode, the wheel-leg mechanism 5 can be contracted by adjusting the wheel-leg chassis 2, so that the volume of the robot is minimized, the probability of collision is reduced, the center of gravity of the robot is raised, and the flight stability of the robot is improved.

[0056] Specifically, when the robot needs to switch between the ground mode and the flight mode, the front thigh support rod 22 and the rear thigh support rod 23 are twisted outward by controlling the rudders, so as to drive the front shank support rod 24, the rear shank support rod 25 and the motor cavity 6, realize the contraction of the robot wheel-leg, and reduce the flight volume of the robot; when the robot switches to the ground mode, the robot is landed by the reverse process, and the wheel-leg is unfolded.

[0057] The self-balancing of the robot ground mode adopts a super-spiral sliding mode control method, which comprises the following steps:

[0058] Step 1, a dynamics model of a wheel-legged air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot ground mode based on super-spiral sliding mode is established, and a matrix equation containing three degrees of freedom and two driving torques [C l C r ] T of the system dynamics equation is obtained;

[0059] Step 2, since the balance of the robot only involves position and inclination, the system equation is reorganized to obtain a matrix equation containing a state vector q=[x φ] T and a control vector u=[C l C r ] T ;

[0060] Step 3, a new state vector is selected, and the robot dynamics model is written as a differential equation set in the standard Cauchy form;

[0061] Step 4, the control amount is calculated according to the super-spiral sliding mode algorithm.

[0062] Specifically, the dynamics equation of step 1 is based on the kinematic analysis and modeling of the robot based on Newtonian mechanics; in the following formula, x is the displacement of the robot, φ is the inclination of the center of mass of the robot, δ is the angle between the robot and the X axis, i.e. the rotation angle around the Y axis, m is the mass of the left and right wheels, R is the radius of the left and right wheels, D w is the distance between the left and right wheels, M is the total mass of the upper body of the robot, J ω is the moment of inertia of the left and right wheel rotation shafts, J δ is the moment of inertia of the vehicle body around the Y axis, J p is the moment of inertia of the vehicle body around the Z axis, L is the distance from the center of mass of the robot to the Z axis of the base coordinate system, C l and C r are the torques of the left and right chassis motors output to the wheels, x l and x r are the displacements of the left and right wheels, f l and f r are the friction forces between the ground and the left and right wheels, H l and H r are the components of the interaction forces between the left and right wheels and the vehicle body in the X axis direction, V l and V r are the components of the interaction forces between the left and right wheels and the vehicle body in the Y axis direction, C l and C r are the torques of the left and right motor outputs to the wheels, x p and y pFor the displacement of the vehicle body's center of mass in the X-axis and Y-axis direction, θ l and θ r For the angle of rotation of the left and right wheels around the Z-axis.

[0063] Relationship between the displacement of the robot and the displacement of the left and right wheels:

[0064]

[0065] Relationship between the angle of rotation of the robot around the Y-axis and the displacement of the left and right wheels:

[0066]

[0067] Where:

[0068] x l = Rθ l

[0069] x r = Rθ r From the above four relationships:

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Newtonian mechanics modeling is as follows:

[0075] ① Left wheel mechanical equation:

[0076] Left wheel along the X-axis direction:

[0077]

[0078] Left wheel rotation around the Z-axis:

[0079]

[0080] ② Right wheel mechanical equation:

[0081] Right wheel along the X-axis direction:

[0089]

[0090] The vehicle body moves along the Y-axis direction:

[0091]

[0092] The vehicle body rotates around the Y-axis:

[0093]

[0094] The above partial parameter calculations are as follows:

[0095] x p = x + L sin φ

[0096] y p = L cos φ

[0097] Eliminate the intermediate variable to obtain the nonlinear model of the two-wheel self-balancing robot as follows:

[0098]

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] From the dynamic model, it can be seen that the robot has three degrees of freedom and two driving torques [C l C r ] T when the robot is in the ground travel mode, so the dynamic model of the robot is a typical second-order underactuated system.

[0102] Specifically, in step 2, the balance of the robot only involves the control of the position and the inclination angle, so this paper selects the first two equations in the nonlinear model of step 1 to form a subsystem, and designs a super-spiral sliding mode controller for it. Rearrange the two equations to write them in the following form:

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] Take the state vector q = [x φ] T , and the control vector u = [C l C r ] TThe dynamics model of the reconnaissance robot in the ground travel mode can be written as follows:

[0106]

[0107] wherein,

[0108] Specifically, in step 3, take The robot dynamics model can be written as a standard Cauchy form of differential equations, as follows:

[0109]

[0110] wherein, For convenience of representation, f(x) and g(x) are abbreviated as f and g, respectively.

[0111] Specifically, in step 4, according to the super-spiral algorithm, for a second-order nonlinear system, if the sliding surface s satisfies the following equation:

[0112]

[0113] The system is stable. Wherein λ and α are design parameters, set to

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] Wherein λ, α, ω1, γ1, ε, β are greater than zero.

[0117] Let the expected value of the state variable x1 be x 1d The expression of each tracking error is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] The sliding surface is defined as:

[0120] s = ce1 + e2

[0121] Taking derivative, we can get:

[0122]

[0123] Obviously, the control amount when the sliding surface s satisfies the condition is

[0124]

[0125] The super-coil sliding mode based wheel-leg air-ground integrated reconnaissance robot of the application can realize free switching of flight mode and ground mode under different task requirements and environments; the robot flight mode can provide higher visual angle image information, and at the same time, the robot has stronger obstacle crossing ability and high building reconnaissance ability; the ground mode can make the robot quickly approach the target reconnaissance, and at the same time of ensuring that the robot has strong ground obstacle crossing ability of leg type robot, the robot has the moving ability of wheel type robot. The robot takes the ground mode as the main travel mode, flies into the reconnaissance site through the flight mode, and then switches to the ground mode for reconnaissance, when encountering obstacles such as high platforms, gullies, steps and the like which cannot be passed by the robot, the flight mode is switched to pass. This greatly expands the reconnaissance range of the robot, and greatly improves the overall endurance. The wheel-leg structure of the robot can change the camera visual angle by lifting the bottom disc of the robot in the ground mode, and obtain multi-level visual angle; in the flight mode, the robot can reduce the overall volume as much as possible by retracting the robot wheel legs, and reduce the collision probability.
