The focus of this paper is (i) to derive a suitable dynamic model for a self-reconfigurable pavement sweeping robot PANTHERA and (ii) to design a robust controller for the same to tackle uncertainties stemming from the reconfiguration process, external disturbances and from actuator saturation. To m…
An efficient sensors fusion framework in an autonomous robot is necessary for various functions like object detection and perception enhancement. Multi-sensor calibration techniques are used to fuse multiple static sensors into a single frame of reference. However, for reconfigurable robots, sensors…
The holonomic and omnidirectional capabilities imparted to the mobile base platform depends mainly on two factors, i.e., the wheel design and its various arrangements in the platform chassis. This paper reports on the development of a novel omnidirectional spherical sectioned wheel named Ospheel. It…
