Abstract

In order to protect equipment such as controllers, it is important to improve the driving stability of $6{\times}6$ skidsteering vehicles driven on rough roads. The estimation and improvement of the driving stability should be based on the vertical acceleration, roll acceleration, and pitch acceleration. These variables will be used to achieve multivariable control and increase the vehicle driving stability. In this study, to improve vehicle stability by reducing the vertical acceleration, roll angular acceleration, and pitch angular acceleration, the skyhook control method is employed to control MR(Magnetorheological) dampers equipped with the vehicle. The proposed control system is tested in multibody dynamic simulation.

견마로봇이 야지 노면에서 주행할 때 로봇에 설치되어 있는 각종 장비의 보호를 위하여 주행 안정성을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 견마로봇의 주행 안정성을 평가하는 데에 있어서 차체의 수직 가속도, 롤 각가속도, 피치 각가속도의 영향이 지배적이다. 가속도가 발생한다는 의미는 차체에 그만큼의 힘이 가해진다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 차체에 작용하는 힘의 크기를 조절함으로써 차량의 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 차량의 안정성을 높이기 위한 하나의 방법으로 MR 댐퍼와 스카이 훅 제어기법을 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $6{\times}6$ 견마로봇에 대하여 MR 댐퍼에 스카이 훅 제어기법을 적용하였으며, 수직 가속도 및 롤, 피치 각가속도를 줄이는 방향으로 제어하여 차량의 주행 안정성을 향상시켰다.
