Keywors: Aaptable Wheel Geometry Multmoe Moble Robot Maneuverablty Knematc Analyss In ths paper, an nnovatve moble platform s presente whch s equppe by three new wheels. he core of the new ea s to establsh a new esgn of rg crcular structure whch can be mplemente as a wheel by varable raus. he structure of wheel nclues a crcular pattern of a smple two-lnk mechansm assemble to obtan a wheel shape. Each wheel has two egrees of freeom. he frst s to rotate wheel axs an the secon s to change the wheel raus. As the frst step, after efnton of the new moel, ts spatal knematcs an constrants wll be formulate. he well-known Newton-Raphson algorthm s mplemente to fn the current response of the knematc moel. A sem-ynamc formulaton s further utlze to fn the torque of motors for aaptng the requre wheel raus for maneuverablty mprovement on rough surfaces. he prncples of vrtual work wll be use to extract the torque values numercally. he ablty of the propose robot for performng the requre tasks wll fnally be checke by some smulatons.. Introucton In real applcatons of moble robots, mprovement of the maneuverablty on rough surfaces s a challengng task. A great eal of ffcultes arsng n ths topc can effectvely be solve by mplementaton of a proper an nnovatve mechancal esgn. Even a lttle nnovaton n ths regar may effectvely promote the navgaton capablty an mechancal response of moble robots. Substantal amount of esgn efforts have been conucte n ths topc to solve fferent ssues nclung surface sturbance elmnatons [], enhancement of ynamcal stablty [-4], reucng number of actuators, weght an the total cost [5-6], ncreasng the ablty of obstacle clmbng [7-9], promotng the way of connecton between manpulators an the man moble platform [], combnng the platform an manpulator [, ], specal esgn of a moble platform for certan msson [-4], generalzaton of a moble robot to overcome rough surfaces an trouble contons [5-6], an reucng or ncreasng flexblty of platform accorng to the objectve of mssons [7]. In the moble robotcs fel, a we range of such novel esgns can be classfe n the multmoe moble platforms. Wheele moble platforms, havng almost smple esgn, fal n a we range of msson contons. he prmary eas to promote the performance of moble manpulators are to ncrease the number of wheels [7-8] or promoton of the suspenson system. hese efforts lea to the enhancement of maneuverablty an ncrease of the margn of ynamc stablty. * Corresponng author aress: Yaz Unversty, Safayeh, Yaz, Iran. el.: ; fax: , E-mal aress: ebrahm@yaz.ac.r.
2 Internatonal Journal of Robotcs, Vol. 4, No. 4, A. Maran, S. Ebrahm, -5 o promote the ablty of obstacle overcomng, a specal category of multmoe moble manpulators has been evelope by combnng the leg an wheel structures [9-]. Connectng a wheel to the en pont of the artfcal legs [-6] or mplementng a pattern of wheels [7] leas to the more capable moble platforms. hese efforts focus on the mprovement of locomoton ablty but the exact controllng of a pont of the robot boy has been almost msse. A new esgn satsfyng the locomoton objectves beses controllng a pont on the robot boy has been nvestgate n some researches combnng locomoton an manpulaton as a smplfe platform n D. However, 3D locomoton an manpulaton can be satsfe smultaneously by a novel ea. herefore, n ths paper, a novel ea s propose by focusng on wheels structure, rather than wheels pattern, to aapt the wheel geometry by changng raus. he new platform s a pattern of smple mechansm connecte by means of bene revolute jonts to approxmate wheel shape. hs mechansm s rven by means of a motor to shape the moble robot wheel. Inepenent changng of the wheel raus leas to some new avantages for a three-wheele platform, whch allows manpulatng a pont of the robot boy on a certan trajectory. It leas to have a combne platform whch can be a multmoe structure movng an manpulatng as a unque system on rough surfaces. By some atve nstruments lke accelerometers nstalle on each wheel axs, the conton of sturbance elmnaton wll be prove as t has alreay been one n [] for D. Another avantage wll emerge when the objectve of mechancal structure s whrlng. As the man fference between the newly evelope an ol structures, the whrlng moton can also be obtane by settng the angular velocty of the wheel axs on a constant value an ajustng the wheel raus. In the case of passng over an obstacle, the msson can smply be followe by ncreasng the heght of the robot boy as the result of wheel raus ajustment. As another nterestng case, the robot can move on a ramp, whle ts boy keeps a esre orentaton. As the frst part of the present research, the new system wll be recognze to be obvous as well as possble. Knematc parameters, 3D knematc equatons an mathematcal efnton of the esre path wll be presente, respectvely; hen, the knematc constrants wll be ntrouce. he Newton-Raphson algorthm s use to solve nonlnear system of knematc equatons. Dynamcs wll be further consere to obtan the torques of atve ajustment motors n each wheel n the presence of gravty forces. he smulatons an ervaton of equatons wll be one base on the assumptons such as stckng conton, lumpe mass n, gnorng centrfugal forces an movng on rough surface.. Concept Emboment he goal of ths secton s to efne the new platform whch nclues a moble robot wth three ajustable wheels. he man ea of the new platform s to obtan the ablty of ajustng raus of wheels. he key ea of the new platform esgn s to a a transformable seral pattern of cross mechansms to the axs of motor of the wheels nstea of common crcular wheels. Fgure ( a) shows a part whch connects the new wheel to the motors. As t can be llustrate, the connecton part s a rg boy connecte to motors from one se. Other se of the connecton part s equppe wth prsmatc jont. he prsmatc jont s a groove n Fg. -a. he cross n Fg. -b has two lnks. One of them s restrcte by means of a revolute jont, whle the other s restrcte by means of a prsmatc jont. he angle between two lnks s ajuste by means of the motor whch s locate n a poston shown n Fg. -b. a close-loop seral pattern of the crosses s llustrate n Fg. -. hs seral pattern s connecte to the cross mechansm mentone n Fg. -b. he close-loop mechansm s connecte to the wheel axs by small peces whch are shown on the rght se of the cross lnkage n Fg. -b. It can be seen n Fg. - that when the motor rotates, the close-loop mechansm rotates as a wheel. On the other han, when the restrcte cross n Fg. -b s rven by means of the ajustment motor, the close-loop mechansm raus s change. Because the shape of the close-loop mechansm s not a complete wheel, some atve rubbers have to be ae as Fg. -e llustrates. he effect of rubbers on wheel performance s to complete the crcular shape of the wheel an to soften the collson process wth the surface. Fnally, three complete assemble wheels wll be nstalle on a boy as a threewheele moble robot as llustrate n Fg. -f.

Prncple Propertes he man boy of the new platform has sx egrees of freeom, the same as other moble robots. hree egrees of freeom nclung heght of wth respect to the surface, ptch angle an roll angle of the robot boy are restrcte by wheel raus ajustment. It means that the ajustment motors affect these DOFs. he constrants whch control these DOFs as well as the yaw angle of the robot boy are holonomc constrants. wo other constrants for controllng x an y postons are nonholonomc. Smple moble robots only have two nonholonomc constrants (poston x an y on the flat surface) an one holonomc constrant (the yaw angle). he majorty of these moble robots cannot control the heght, roll angle an ptch angle. Inee, the ajustable raus of each wheel as an atve DOF to moble platform. So, new moble platform s equppe by three atve DOFs. he fnal objectve s to control roll, ptch an heght of the boy beses other surface navgaton DOFs (yaw angle, x an y postons) smultaneously, by means of sx control commans. A crucal conceptual queston whch may arse n evelopng the new platform s that how the sgnals of the ajustment motors can be conveye from the robot boy to the rotatng wheel. hs pont shoul be explane to avo any wre cut-off n one complete rotaton of the wheel. he wre cut-off s probable f a se of the wre s fxe n the control an power box an the other se of the wre s connecte to the ajustment motor locate on a rotatng wheel. o solve ths ssue, an atonal part s propose n appenx A. knematc parameters.

Knematc Constrants he constrants can be classfe nto two man categores, namely contact pont poston constrants an contact surface constrants. All ponts of the wheel whch can be n contact wth a surface are assume to locate on a rm. hs assumpton shrnks a 3D moel of the wheel to a smplfe one. It means that the thckness of the wheel can be neglecte. In ths moel, t s assume that the wheel s wthout thckness capable of ajustng ts raus. hs assumpton proves smpler mathematcal expresson of the wheel n the 3D space. So, the contact pont of the wheel can smply be foun through ths assumpton. For algorthms smulatng contact the reaers are referre to, e.g. [9, 3]. he sx control commans that robot boy has to follow were etermne prevously. he constrants whch wll be explane have to take zero value. he poston constrants are efne as C (3) f ( x, y ), ( fr, fl, r) x 3 (), y () 3 3 () hs equaton mples that the Z components of the contact pont of each wheel enote by (3) 3 (ntrouce n Eq.

Exactly, the maneuverablty an 6-DOF locomoton of the have been nvestgate n the smulatons. Beses to track the trajectory, the results emonstrate that the new platform s able to elmnate surface sturbance. he atve ajustment motors have been nvestgate on the torque.. Appenx A.: Atonal Part to Avo Wre Cut-off o solve the problem of wre cut-off, an atonal part s nstalle on the rotatng axs of each wheel as shown n Fg. 6. he atonal part stcks to the wheel axs an keeps the rotor of the rotatng motors n the hole enote by number 7. It causes that the sk enote by number 3 rotates when the wheel starts to rotate. On the other han, part stcks to the motor boy. It means that both motor an part keep ther fxe poston. herefore, part 3 can rotate an part keeps the fxe poston. he torque results are n the acceptable range an the requre angular splacement of these motors s n the range of 4-7 egrees. So t can be recognze that the boy can track each 6-DOF esre comman. he future works whch wll be one to complete the new propose wheel, are to nclue the effect of lttle eformaton of the each part of new wheel an to nclue the effect of frcton between jonts an lnks. Also, the other mportant nvestgaton s to esgn the complete control loop of the new moel nclung ynamc smulaton wth uncertantes of the moel n the presence of frcton an flexbltes, control low n the presence of elays, roun of errors, sensor errors an sturbances. he fnal future work s to propose nterestng motons whch new platform can perform.

In ths way, the sgnals can be conucte from the man boy to the rotatng wheels wthout any wre cut-off. All conuctve crcular paths (numbers 4, 5 an 6) are connecte to the servo motor. References [] D.
