Abstract:

In order to realize the self-adaptive adjustment of the motion speed of mobile robot in different terrain environments, a method of terrain clustering analysis based on robot vibration information and self-adaptive adjustment of motion speed based on clustering results is proposed. In this method, the acceleration information in the vertical direction and pitch angle information of the robot in the process of motion are used, and the terrain information is clustered based on the improved Gaussian mixture model to obtain the membership degree of the terrain relative to the typical terrain. In combination with the terrain undulation information, the adaptive control of the robot's motion speed is realized through the fuzzy control strategy. In order to verify the correctness and practicability of the proposed method, relevant experiments are carried out on the platform of pioneer 3-At four-wheel drive all terrain robot. The experimental results show that this method can make the robot cluster analysis on different terrain accurately and realize its speed adaptive adjustment under different terrain, which effectively enhances the terrain adaptability of the robot.
