Algorithm Design of a Variable Height Wheel-Legged Robot with Fuzzy Theory and PID Fusion Control

摘要

Abstract A balancing control algorithm for a wheel-legged robot is designed for current logistics and distribution mobile robots. Since the wheel-legged robot is a nonlinear underactuated system, it is crucial to realize the balanced control and robustness of the wheel-legged robot in the absence of an accurate dynamics model. In this paper, an optimal control scheme for the wheel-legged robot based on the fusion control of variable-height adaptive fuzzy PID and conventional PID is designed. The balance of the wheel-legged robot is controlled by adaptive fuzzy PID control, the lifting and attitude changes of the two sides of the wheel-legs are controlled with high precision by traditional PID control, and the speed and steering control of the wheel-legged robot is not affected by the structure of the model, and is controlled by traditional PID control with linearization. The attitude of the robot is detected in real time using the BMI088 attitude sensor to realize the positional control. Experimental and simulation results show that the control algorithm of the wheel-legged robot designed in this paper is reliable, and the robot runs smoothly and robustly.
