Unmanned Ground Vehicle Energy Efficiency Validation in Territory Surveillance Mission

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes test case of an energy efficiency validation method. Test case is selected as surveillance mission which is simple and common case for universal unmanned ground vehicle where environment dynamics has major influence. The prototype UGV platform is equipped with combined measurement system providing data about dynamic parameters of platform physical movement as well as real-time energy consumption. Platform energy efficiency is evaluated on several stages, enabling to evaluate both mechanical design and control system algorithms. In addition, environment interaction with the vehicle is measured also for analyzing the vehicle limitations and scope of use. Real-condition missions are used for vehicle design validation purposes.
