Analysis of the Kinematics of an Eight-Wheeled Mobile Platform

Abstract:

This paper presents the modeling problem connected with the autonomous transport vehicle designed at Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten. The forward and inverse kinematics problem of eight-wheeled autonomous transport vehicle have been formulated and solved, additionally examples of simulation results representing the changes of individual motion parameters have been presented. Contact phenomenon between foundation and drive wheel has been taken into account in the kinematics model. Motion trajectory and velocity of the selected point belonging to the platform have been intended while the inverse kinematics problem has been solved. The forward kinematics problem has been worked out in order to verify correctness of the studied kinematics model. The presented simulation results point out compatibility of the worked out kinematics model of investigated object. The worked out models allow carrying out analysis of object motion through simulation investigations on the basis of proposed computational model.
