Anti-slip Balancing Control of a Humanoid Wheeled Inverted Pendulum Robot

This research aims to develop systematic methodologies to perform sensor fusion, balancing control, and whole-body posture control on a humanoid wheel inverted pendulum (WIP) robots.  For sensor fusion, a novel pitch angle estimator is proposed by merging the measurements for two IMU’s.  Such an estimator is meant to eliminate the error caused by motion acceleration when estimating the pitch angle for feedback purposes.  For the balancing control, a controller that provides robust stability to the variations of the CoM height is …

Analysis and Control of an In-pipe Wheeled Robot with Spiral Moving Capability

This paper presents analysis and control of a wheeled robot that can move spirally inside the pipeline. The wheeled robot onsidered is composed of two mechanical bodies, a pair of differential-drive wheels, a lifting motor and a steering wheel. The echatronic design allows the robot to easily press against the inner wall and spiral along …
