A reliable control system is essential for the operation of a wheeled robot. A castor wheel is a robotic control device that enables the wheeled robot to navigate to various positions and orientations. One implementation method employs a servo motor to adjust the orientation of the castor wheel to a specific driving angle. The mechanism is robust, cost-effective, and simple to produce. This work demonstrates the development of a castor-wheel-based control mechanism utilizing a servo motor and the pure pursuit algorithm to determine the driving angle. The designated wheeled robot employs a BLDC motor as the primary actuator for its two main wheels. An experiment has been performed to assess the proposed control mechanism. The proposed control system achieved a position error of 0.228 m in the Y direction minimally and less than 1 m position error globally. This study presents mechanical, electrical, and software components.

Effective Solutions for Moving Objects in Acceleration Functions and Their Reflections Using Goen's Distance Formula

2024-09-24T07:46:26+07:00

Goen's distance formula is an effective formula for calculating the distance from acceleration that has a pattern as a symmetric function of time changes. In the Goen's distance formula where the acceleration function against time has a symmetric pattern, it can be solved simply by performing a total integral and then multiplying it by half of the total time. Symmetric acceleration functions can be constructed from a combination of certain functions with their reflections. In this study, the method of proving the Goen's distance formula is carried out mathematically using single and double-level average integrals of symmetric functions. The advantage of the Goen's distance formula compared to the conventional distance formula is that in finding the distance traveled by an object moving with a symmetric acceleration function, it will be more effective because it is sufficient to perform an integral once compared to having to do two integrals as done in the conventional method
