Attitude-Oriented Stability Control with Adaptive Impedance Control for a Wheeled Robotic System on Rough Terrain

Base stability for a wheeled robot while driving over rough terrain is a challenging issue. This paper proposes a novel base-stability control framework, consisting of an AVIC (adaptive variable-impedance control), AVIC-based tracking controller, and a THV (terrain height variation) and AC (attitude...

description Base stability for a wheeled robot while driving over rough terrain is a challenging issue. This paper proposes a novel base-stability control framework, consisting of an AVIC (adaptive variable-impedance control), AVIC-based tracking controller, and a THV (terrain height variation) and AC (attitude control) AC-based controller to stabilize the base on rough terrain. The AVIC-based controller aims to track the desired trajectory of the robot base while suppressing lumped disturbance, including system uncertainties in the internal dynamics and unknown external disturbance. The THV-based controller is utilized as a feedforward controller to improve posture tracking performance in order to achieve a horizontal posture. The AC-based controller is employed to maintain the horizontal posture of the base. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controllers are validated by a series of numerical trials, and the results are evaluated.
