A universal omni-directional robot development platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a universal omni-directional robot development platform, and relates to the mobile platform field, which includes a platform housing, an omnidirectional moving mechanism, a radar, a sensor, an extended stage, an expanded connection plate, a control system and an operating system; an omni-directional movement mechanism is arranged at the lower part of the platform housing for supporting the movement of the entire platform and connecting a control system controlled by the omni-directional movement mechanism, a lidar is disposed on that platform housing for scan the surrounding environment, a sensor is provided on the platform housing for obstacle avoidance monitoring, the expansion stage is arranged on the platform shell for arranging the expansion equipment, the expansion connecting plate is arranged on the platform shell for arranging the connecting parts for the expansion equipment, the control system is used for controlling the movement control of each equipment on the platform, and the operating system is used for managing and controlling the whole platform and the robot developed on the platform. The platform has better omni-directional mobile flexibility, can adapt to more complex environment and working conditions, and is convenient for function expansion and secondary development.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile platforms, in particular to a robot development platform designed to move in all directions. Background technique [0002] The application of robots is becoming more and more extensive, and penetrates into almost all fields. Countries, especially western developed countries, are committed to research, development and wide application of service robots. At present, in the United States, Japan and other countries, robots have been used in shopping guides, item transfers, and home furnishing. Service, exhibition hall security and other fields. Compared with ordinary industrial robots, service robots have a larger and more flexible working space, so they often use mobile robots. Mobile robots need to adapt to various indoor complex environments, outdoors such as target training grounds, etc., and often require them to have The ability to move freely and flexibly in narrow and crowded places has also become a di...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Most of the existing robot development platforms are differential wheel mobile chassis, and the steering is realized through the speed difference of the driving wheel. The differential wheel chassis is not flexible enough, and its movement is limited in some narrow and crowded spaces, which cannot give high requirements for flexibility. Advanced robot research and development provides a good chassis foundation

In addition, most of the existing chassis hardware is an independent and complete set of systems for algorithm implantation and verification. The closed nature of the hardware makes this type of chassis only suitable for algorithm research and verification. For requirements that require hardware expansion, such as adding It is difficult to satisfy
