Introduction

It is important for every mobile robot to possess the ability to navigate in target environment. Navigation can be described here as the robotic system’s ability to identify its own position in an unknown area with respect to some reference point and then move to its target position. In order to navigate in its environment and reach target position correctly, an efficient control system should be designed. The aim of this project is to design and implement a mobile robot localisation and control.The mobile robot is developed with the ability of:

Localisation System

For a positioning system, it is required ...

As a mobile robot operates in environment, its actual position and orientation are not exactly the same as targeted. Therefore, it is important to know about the robot’s definite current position for controlling it. In this section, three methods for positioning are described; using encoders, using ultrasonic ranging sensor, and using both ultrasonic and encoder sensors.

Positioning Using Encoder

In order to position the robot using encoders, it is necessary to take two steps. First, encoders should provide the current robot position. Second, it is important to reach the target position given by the supervisor.

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...
