Autonomous Mobile Robots

I started article about PID controller for mobile robots which I’m going to use for position control of my caterpillar robot. It is not finished yet and I’ll be glad to receive comments from you and suggestions how to make the explanation better. PID controller is rather popular type of controller to study but traditional explanation about how it works sometimes are much more sophisticated then algorithm itself. I’m not an expert in this area and I will be really glad if some one will check it out from academic point of view.

My old walking robot is presented to you here. It has original design which I found once in the network, unfortunately I do not remember the link. Still I try to work on my present project of caterpillar robot.

Here you will be able to find what does my mobile robot consists of and some ideas about future development.

One more article was added to “Books and Articles” section.

Two articles were added to “Books and Articles” section.

How Intelligent the Toy Robots are?

Multipurpose Control System and Mobile Robot Development, for Control Algorithms Research.

Today “Electrical Design” section was updated with the first schematic of IR sensor for encoder.

Description of my new mobile robot is added to “Mechanical Design” section

Some old mechanical design added to the “Mechanical Design “section.

It is simple two wheeled robot, easy to control and built. Behind it has some tail/castor wheel for additional support.

My first article “3D Scanning using industrial manipulator and laser range meter” was added to “Books and Articles”.
