Abstract

The research on two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) mobile robots has been ongoing in a number of robotic laboratories around the world. In this paper, we consider a robust controller design for the TWIP mobile robot driving on uniform slopes. We use a 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) model which is obtained by restricting the spinning motion in a 3 DOF motion dynamic equation. In order to design the robust controller guaranteeing stability of the TWIP mobile robot driving on inclined surface, we propose a sliding mode control based on the theory of variable structure systems and design a sliding surface using the theory of the linear quadratic regulation (LQR). For simulation, the dynamic model of the TWIP mobile robot is constructed using Mathworks' Simulink and the sliding mode control is also implemented using Simulink. From simulation results, we show that the proposed controller effectively controls the TWIP mobile robot driving on slopes.

세계적으로 수많은 로봇연구실에서 이륜 도립진자 이동로봇에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 이륜 도립진자 이동로봇이 평탄한 경사면에서 안정적으로 주행할 수 있도록 하는 강인 제어기를 개발하는 것으로 고려한다. 경사면에서 이륜 도립진자 이동로봇의 균형을 위해 3 자유도의 운동방정식에서 선회운동을 제한한 2 자유도 동력학식을 사용하며, 가변구조시스템 이론을 근간으로 하는 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 제안하고 LQR 이론을 이용하여 슬라이딩 운동이 일어나는 슬라이딩 평면을 설계한다. 시뮬레이션을 위해 Mathworks사의 Simulink를 활용하여 이륜 도립진자 이동로봇의 2 자유도 모델을 실현하고, 슬라이딩 모드 제어기 또한 Simulink를 이용하여 구현한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 제어기가 경사면을 주행하는 이륜 도립진자 이동로봇을 효과적인 제어한다는 것을 보인다.
