Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain stable and accurate automatic steering control even in an arc-shaped traveling course by subtracting an offset value corresponding to the radius of curvature of a course and a traveling speed from the angular speed of a vehicle body, feeding back the subtracted value, at the time of determing the objective value of the inverse of a rotational radius, and adding the inverse of the radius of curvature of the course. CONSTITUTION:If the detecting value of the angular speed omega of the vehicle body goes an offset value omega0, when a deviation epsilon from the traveling course is zero, the objective value I/R' of the inverse of the rotational radius goes equal to an offset value I/R0. When the traveling course is straight, both the omega0, I/R0 are zero, and in the case of an arc-shaped traveling course, the I/R0 is made equal to the inverse I/R of the radius of curvature of the course and the omega0 is set up to the offset value corresponding to the radius of curvature of the course and the traveling speed, so that even when the traveling course is straight, stable and accurate automatic steering control can be attained similarly to an arc-shaped traveling course.

Unmanned vehicle that performs steering using conventional left and right drive wheels! In the automatic steering control system for M-vehicle transportation, in addition to detecting and feeding back the deviation from the driving course, the vehicle body angular velocity is also detected and fed back as a steering condition, and the vehicle body turning is determined based on the deviation between the total feed hack term and the target value. Automatic steering control is performed by setting a target value for the reciprocal of the radius and calculating and outputting the rotation speed command value of the left and right drive motors according to the target value and the travel speed command value, but the shape of the travel course is not straight. , Since the feedback of the steering condition and the determination of the target value of the reciprocal of the turning radius are performed in the same way whether it is a line or an arc, the vehicle body is in a straight-line state when the deviation from the driving course on the circular arc-shaped driving course becomes zero. As a result, there is a problem that deviation from the running course occurs, and as a result, the vehicle runs on an arc-shaped course with a certain lateral displacement. In addition, even if the feed bank gain for lateral displacement is increased on an arc-shaped running course in order to reduce this problem, the lateral displacement will not be completely eliminated, and an unstable phenomenon will occur due to increasing the gain. There was a problem.
