Detection and control of a wheeled mobile robot based on magnetic navigation

Abstract

This paper introduces the design of a wheeled mobile robot based on magnetic navigation. The working principle of magnetic navigation is analyzed, and a novel navigation path detection algorithm is proposed. Meanwhile, the fuzzy control algorithm and PID algorithm are combined to optimize the control performance of the steering servo and the electric motor. The experimental results show the effectiveness of both the detection and the control algorithm. The wheeled mobile robot can trace the navigation path automatically and precisely at a high speed.
