Design and implementation of a reconfigurable planetary robot control system

摘要

A novel reconfigurable planetary robot system is presented. Based on the decomposition of functions and configuration, a modularized control system is designed, using CAN as a main communication method among the modules. With the control principle and the centralized control algorithm proposed, the locomotion and manipulation of the robot at different modes is efficiently controlled. The experiment with the prototype proves the feasibility of the control system.
