Design and Implementation of Autonomic Mobile Robot System
Zhou Ai-yu · Journal of Qingdao University · 2004
As an important branch of robot technology, an autonomic mobile robot has a prosperous future. The design of autonomous mobile robot system, which is composed of a navigation sub-system and a motion controller sub-system, is introduced in this paper. The navigation sub-system is based on a general type of micro-controller—SPMC701FM0A made by Sunplus, and the motion controller sub-system is based on 68HC908GP32 made by Motorola. The hardware of the whole system and the sketch of the software of the motion controller sub-system are proposed as well. The two kinds of sub-systems were designed independently, which could be propitious to both upgrade and function extension of the whole system. The vehicle we designed can move automatically from starting point to destination on level road surface and its orientation tracking precision is one degree. This autonomic mobile robot can be used as a motion platform of many kinds of service robot to accomplish certain mission when corresponding apparatuses were carried on.
