| Abstract Scope |
Mecanum wheels enable mobile robots to move omnidirectionally. The unique movement is enabled by combination of multiple wheel speeds and the friction between the rollers and surface. Variation of friction as well as wear and tear impact the accuracy of Robot navigation. We propose unique texture on the surface of the wheel rollers as well as the ground to improve the accuracy and repeatability of trajectory. Where sustaining the textures is limited, the specially textured surface is presented at specific intervals. The spacing and texture is driven by error propagation estimates. Solid Freeform fabrication is used to develop and test differnt textures. |
