Abstract

The invention discloses a motion control system and a motion control method for a spherical robot with visual feedback. The motion control system comprises a binocular visual system, a gyroscope, a spherical robot body, an embedded-type controller and a wireless communication module. The motion control system is positioned through cooperation between a visual camera and the gyroscope and measures self motion parameter information of the robot in real time, and the self motion parameter information is used as feedback to be input into a controller. After conducting calculations, the controller issues a control order to a motor on the spherical robot so as to achieve tracking of a targeted path. Meanwhile, the controller can also monitor state information of the robot remotely and give an operation order. The motion control method sets up an inner ring control strategy by adopting a state feedback algorithm, sets up an outer ring control strategy by adopting a curvature tracking algorithm and conducts control through combining an inner ring and an outer ring. The left and right image sequence can be collected in real time through the binocular visual system. By means of adoption of a binocular visual range algorithm, postures and changes of position of the spherical robot can be figured out. By mean of the gyroscope, errors caused by an unstable platform are complemented, and obtained results are used as feedback to be brought into a control algorithm.

arrive expection;
S9: by real-time visual feedback, the inner and outer ring controller constantly carries out iterative computation, the outer ring controller constantly real-time expection course angle speed of output is given interior ring controller, thereby adjust the movement locus of robot, make movement locus level off to destination path, finally make robot walk along destination path.
6. according to robot motion's control method claimed in claim 5, it is characterized in that, step S7 comprises: comprise the steps:
Calculate the curvature, deflection of the track of current robot and from the distance of destination path according to the kinematic parameter of destination path and current robot.
Bring the data that obtain into the curvature tracking control unit, its mean curvature tracking control unit is:
dk ds = - k a &CenterDot; k - k b &CenterDot; ( &psi; - &psi; r ) - k c &CenterDot; &Delta;d
In formula: the derivative of the curvature k that dk/ds is robot path to path arc length s; k a, k band k cfor being greater than zero constant; ψ and ψ rbe respectively the deflection of robot and the deflection of expected path; Δ d means the distance of current point apart from target line, and when Δ d>0, robot is positioned at the left side of expected path, and when Δ d<0, robot is positioned at the right of expected path, if robot is positioned on the path of expectation, and Δ d=0.
The result that controller is obtained is carried out integration, obtains the curvature of expectation, then is multiplied by the current speed of robot and obtains, the course angle speed of expectation
