Detailed calculation procedure is:Assuming that alignment system is in initial alignment, optional 3 from 4 fixed beacons, you can No. 1 The coordinate of fixed beacon, No. 2 fixed beacons and No. 3 fixed beacons is respectively (0,0, z1)、(a,0,z2)、(0,b,z3), when this 3 When a fixed beacon is respectively received the ultrasonic signal of mobile beacon transmission, according to trilateration Computing Principle, movement letter Target current position coordinates (X, Y, Z) can calculate as follows:
<mrow> <mfenced open = "{" close = ""> <mtable> <mtr> <mtd> <mrow> <msup> <mi>X</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mi>Y</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>Z</mi> <mo>-</mo> <msub> <mi>z</mi> <mn>1</mn> </msub> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>=</mo> <msup> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mn>1</mn> </msub> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </mrow> </mtd> </mtr> <mtr> <mtd> <mrow> <msup> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>X</mi> <mo>-</mo> <mi>a</mi> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mi>Y</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>Z</mi> <mo>-</mo> <msub> <mi>z</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msub> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>=</mo> <msup> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msub> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </mrow> </mtd> </mtr> <mtr> <mtd> <mrow> <msup> <mi>X</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>Y</mi> <mo>-</mo> <mi>b</mi> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <msup> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>Z</mi> <mo>-</mo> <msub> <mi>z</mi> <mn>3</mn> </msub> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>=</mo> <msup> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mn>3</mn> </msub> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </mrow> </mtd> </mtr> </mtable> </mfenced> <mo>-</mo> <mo>-</mo> <mo>-</mo> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mn>1</mn> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> </mrow>
Calculated by formula (1), you can obtain current position coordinates (X, Y, Z) of a certain mobile beacon in world coordinates;
Step 4, indoor Global localization system of the structure based on supersonic wave beacon, to obtain the real-time position of each mobile robot Appearance;
1) indoor Global localization system is disposed:Fixed beacon is installed on four corner positions, selects two of which fixed beacon Three-dimensional system of coordinate is established as coordinate system benchmark, mobile beacon is separately mounted in each mobile robot, and mobile beacon is with moving Mobile robot controller uses serial communication connection mode;Locating base station controller calculates the position of each mobile robot in real time Coordinate information, and reach corresponding mobile beacon under combining drift angle information in the form of pose data packet;
2) mobile robot parsing pose data packet:Mobile robot reads what mobile beacon received by serial port Pose data packet, is judged using parity check bit, and judges whether check bit is correct, is correct, school when check bit is 1 It is mistake to test position to be 0, and when check bit information is correct, then correct pose coordinate information is stored in processor by mobile robot In caching, the data type conversion for line character string format of going forward side by side is the pose data of floating type, and is stored in pose array, if Check bit information errors, will give up this pose coordinate information;
3) pose data store successively:With the autokinetic movement of mobile robot, its positional information carries out real-time update, by fixed After position base station controller sends to each mobile beacon and parses pose data packet, pose coordinate information follows the suitable of " first in first out " Sequence principle updates in the pose coordinate array of Movement Controller of Mobile Robot successively;
Step 5:The initialization of mobile robot
The initialization of mobile robot mainly includes:Distribution navigates, follows two kinds of mobile robot roles, i.e., any selection one The artificial pathfinder of machine, other is to follow robot, sets the formation figure that Mobile Robot Formation needs to keep according to demand Case, configuration pilot robot follow machine artificially to receive data mode to send data mode;
Mobile Robot Motion Controller based on DSP is designed, realizes multi-robot formation job task, detailed step is as follows:
1) according to mobile robot body construction and type of drive, moveable robot movement model is established, and is built according to this more The kinematics model of Mobile Robot Formation;
2) the indoor global localization method based on above-mentioned supersonic wave beacon, obtains pilot robot and follows working as robot in real time Preceding pose;Further according to default multiple aircraft formation formation geological information, the preferable pose for respectively following robot current time is calculated, Robot will be followed arbitrarily to place, and then, follow robot according to respective preferable pose and attained pose, be calculated respectively with The tracking position and attitude error of random device people;Finally, the tracking pose for following robot is made with control method, design motion controller Error meets required precision, and control according to this follows the tracking position and attitude error of robot to meet required precision, so as to fulfill based on neck The multiple aircraft formation job task of boat follower type.
