Using real-time RGB image for linear path tracking of mobile robots

The robot I used(Pionner_p3dx) adopts a differential drive method to control the motor through the underlying PID algorithm to achieve real-time adjustment of the body posture. In the process of designing the correcting controller, a rectification algorithm that combines the deviation distance information and the deflection angle information respectively calculated by the PID controller is proposed to improve the real-time performance of the system.

According to the above method, the movement process of the robot on the boiler wall is simulated in the V-REP.

Model in V-REP

Simulation results show that this method can control the lateral position accuracy of climbing robots with high precision. Under the premise that the random disturbance amount is not more than ± 5%, the offset distance of the vehicle body can always be controlled within ±5mm in a continuous 50s stroke, and the expected design goal is achieved.

The results are as follows:

Gaussian Interference Lateral Error( mm )
± 2 % ± 2
± 5% ± 3
± 10 % ± 6
± 20 % ± 10
