In the present disclosure, first, the starting module starts the multi-axis flatbed vehicle, loads and reads a global map containing coordinate information, and determines a movement path of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle according to the initial point and the stop point of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle, the drive module controls the multi-axis flatbed vehicle to drive according to the trajectory generated by the path acquisition module, in the driving process, the steering module collects the path information to determine the steering mode, analyzes the expected steering angle of each wheel train according to the multi-axis flatbed vehicle steering kinematics model established by the embedded upper computer, receives the latest actual steering angle of the wheel train through the CAN bus, then obtains the control output of each loop by using closed-loop control, and sends corresponding output instructions to each node, so as to control each wheel train to achieve the expected steering angle, then the trajectory tracking control module locates, in real time, the actual position of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle by, and when the deviation between the actual position and the target position exceeds a set threshold, the trajectory tracking control module adjusts the posture of the flatbed vehicle to gradually return to the target path. The infrared road sign is installed in front of the stop point parking space, and the visual perception module is installed in the front of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body. When the multi-axis flatbed vehicle moves near the stop point, the multi-axis flatbed vehicle decelerates and searches for the infrared road sign by the visual perception module by rotating in place. After finding out the infrared road sign, the image position information of the infrared road sign is calculated, and the identified information is transmitted to the embedded upper computer of multi-axis flatbed vehicle. The embedded upper computer of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle calculates the relative posture of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle and the infrared road sign, and realizes the motion planning of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle, and then the driving module controls the multi-axis flatbed vehicle to achieve precise stopping. Preferably, the visual perception module includes a camera and an image information processing card. The camera is used for collecting environmental information in front of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle. The camera is installed below the front of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body. A filter is installed to accurately recognize infrared light. The image information processing card is used for receiving environmental information transmitted by the camera and further processing the image information. Preferably, the shape of the infrared road sign is an isosceles right triangle. The side length on both sides is 50 cm. The three vertices of the infrared road sign are installed with infrared light-emitting diodes. As shown in FIGs. 2, 3, and 5, a method for precise stopping of a multi-axis flatbed vehicle has the specific implementation steps as follows: Step 1.1: The multi-axis flatbed vehicle is started by a starting module. Global information of a job is determined. The scene of the job is rasterized to obtain a global grid map. Step 1.2: Initial locating information of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle (XO, YO, 00) in the global map coordinate system as well as a target stop point information are obtained,, and stored in a database. Step 2.1: In the global grid map of step 1.1, the shortest path from an initial position to near the target stop point are calculated by a path acquisition module using the shortest path algorithm. In this example, the A* algorithm is used as the shortest path algorithm. The specific implementation process of this algorithm is as follows: The A* algorithm combines heuristic search with breadth first algorithm, and is the most effective direct search algorithm for solving the optimal path in static environments. The A* algorithm selects the search direction to expand from the starting point to the surrounding area using a cost function F(n), and calculates the cost value of each surrounding node using the heuristic function H(n), and the minimum generation value is selected as the next extension point. This process is repeated until the ending point is reached, generating a path from the starting point to the ending point. In the search process, as each node on the path is a node with the minimum cost, the resulting path cost is minimal. The cost function of the A* algorithm is: F(n)= G(n)+H(n)
H (n) = V((xi - x.)z - (y, - y. 2 )
where, F(n) is the evaluation function of the current node, G(n) is the actual path cost from the starting point to the current node, and H(n) is the minimum estimated cost from the current node to the target point. The abscissa of the starting point is xi, the ordinate of the starting point is yi, the abscissa of the ending point ordinate is x,, and the ordinate of the ending point ordinate isyn. Step 3.1: Under the control of the driving module, the multi-axis flatbed vehicle travels following the shortest path planned of step 2. In the steering process, the steering module determines the steering mode by collecting path information, calculates the expected steering angle of each wheel train according to the multi-axis flatbed vehicle steering mathematical model established by the embedded upper computer, receives the latest actual steering angle of the wheel train through the CAN bus, then obtains the control output of each loop by using closed-loop control, and sends corresponding output instructions to each node, so as to control each wheel train to achieve the expected steering angle. In the diagram of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle steering kinematics model, taking the splay steering of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle as an example, the vertical line of each wheel intersects the steering centerline at the point P, which is recorded as the steering point of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle. When turning, the steering angle of each wheel on the right side is at, the steering angle of each wheel on the left side is fi, and the distance from the turning point P to the centerline of the flatbed vehicle is R. The distance between each axle in the two groups of axles 1, 2, 3, and 4, 5, 6 is equal, and is set as S 1 . The distance between the two axles 3 and 4 is S2. The right turning of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle is taken as an example, and a mathematical model of the deflection angle is established: When i=1, 2, and 3 axles
S+ 3S1 tana1 = 2 S
S
+ 3S1 tanfi1 2 1
So there is
+ (3 - i)S tana1 =
+ (3 - i)S1 tanpi = R+ When i=4, 5, and 6 axles C7i= -a 1 i
pl7 -1 = -p1i When in closed-loop control, the embedded upper computer calculates the steering target value 00 of each wheel group through the multi-axis flatbed vehicle steering mathematical model. Then the computer compares the value with the actual steering deflection angle Qt from the angular displacement sensors of each wheel group to calculate the steering angle deviation F. The value is regarded as an output signal to the proportional amplifier to obtain the current signal I, which is used for controlling the electro-hydraulic proportional valve. The change in the opening of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve is then converted into a flow Q output, which controls the movement of the hydraulic cylinder and achieves the turning of each wheel to the target value 00, thereby achieving collaborative work between each wheel group. Step 3.2: A trajectory tracking control module obtains real time location information of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle. When the deviation between an actual position and the target position exceeds a threshold, the trajectory tracking control module adjusts the posture of the flatbed vehicle to gradually return to a target path. In this example, the trajectory tracking control module uses the dead reckoning algorithm to achieve real time locating of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle. The specific implementation process of this algorithm is as follows: The basic idea of the dead reckoning is to use a point on the Earth's surface as the origin of the local coordinate system, and calculate the relative position of the moving object at the next moment based on the current change in velocity direction and velocity magnitude. By repeating this process continuously, the motion trajectory of the moving object can be calculated. ti is assumed. The moving object is located at a known point Pi(xi, yi). O indicates the heading of the moving object at the point Pi at time ti. (Where 0 ; i ;> n) xit1 = xi + dicos 1 yi+1 = yi + disin 1 From this, it can be inferred that if the position Po(xo, yo) of the moving object at time to and the magnitude and direction of the velocity at any time after the time to are known.
The position Pi(xi,y) of the moving object at any time ti after the time to can be calculated. Step 4.1: The environmental information in front of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle is collected through the visual perception module. Image information is processed to obtain the position information of the infrared road sign in the image. Step 4.2: The position information of the infrared road sign in the image is sent to the embedded upper computer. The computer calculates the relative posture of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle and the infrared road sign through point perspective analysis method. The steps for calculating the posture of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle relative to the infrared road sign are as follows: Step SI: A world coordinate system is created on the infrared road signs. The position information of the infrared road signs in this coordinate system is obtained through measurement. The camera is fixed on the front of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body. The internal parameters of the camera are calibrated. The internal parameter matrix of the camera is: fu Y u0 A = 0 f£ vo 0 0 1 fu and f are the focal length in the u and v directions respectively. Y is the deviation parameter between two coordinate axes of the image. uo and vo are the image coordinates of a main point. Step S2: The external parameters of the camera are calculated using the perspective n point problem (PnP) analysis method. The external parameter matrix of the camera is:
c = R cp W 0 1 R is the rotation matrix of the world coordinate relative to the camera coordinate. cp is the translation matrix of the world coordinate origin and the camera coordinate origin. Step S3: The transformation matrix between the multi-axis flatbed vehicle coordinate system and the camera coordinate system is calibrated. Then the posture of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle in the world coordinate system is calculated based on the internal and external parameters of the camera. Step 4.3: Based on the path planning during precise stopping, a driving module controls the movement of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle, and uses closed-loop control algorithms to achieve precise stopping. As shown in FIGs. 6 and 7, a method for precise stopping of a multi-axis flatbed vehicle has the specific process as follows: Step Al: The length of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body is assumed as L1 . The width of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body is assumed as L 2 . The initial coordinate of point A is 0 (XA YA A)T The coordinate of point B can be calculated through geometric relationships. The coordinate of point B is: L XB X -YA +2 XB= XA tanOA yB
Assuming that at time t, the coordinate of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle is (xt yt Ot)T , the closed-loop system feedback error can be calculated.
The closed-loop system feedback error is: ex = xt - XB
ey = Yt - YB
et = 8t - tan 1 YBYt XB - t
Based on the closed-loop feedback error e= (ex ey et) T , the multi-axis flatbed vehicle moves from A to B through closed-loop controlled by a driving module. In this process, the multi-axis flatbed vehicle gradually approaches the stop parking space. Step A2: After reaching point B, the multi-axis flatbed vehicle body is adjusted to maintain its posture (xB YB B )T
0 B is: 1 B - YD B= tan XB - XD
Step A3: A multi-axis flatbed vehicle is simulated whose initial position is at point C. The virtual multi-axis flatbed vehicle drives at a constant speed along a straight line CD towards point D. The position information of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle at each moment is collected and calculated. The feedback error with the current multi-axis flatbed vehicle posture information is calculated using the posture information of the virtual multi-axis flatbed vehicle. The smooth movement of the flatbed vehicle towards point D is controlled by the driving module, gradually reducing the feedback error in the direction Xw.
Step A4: After the multi-axis flatbed vehicle moves to point D, the visual perception module recognizes the infrared road signs again to obtain the current position information of the multi-axis flatbed vehicle, in order to eliminate the accumulated error for real time locating using dead reckoning. The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. A person skilled in the art may make various alterations and variations to the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made and the like within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
