Abstract |
Recently, skid steering methods have been increasingly applied to unmanned ground vehicles since they can provide a narrow turn that general steering methods like ackerman steering may not provide. However, dynamic behaviors of the skid steering vehicles with articulating arms which occur during a steering are very complicated and coupled. This makes it difficult to control vehicles and in severe case vehicles may loose stability. There are two methods to control unmanned ground vehicles. The first one is speed control method generally used with easiness and robustness in remote vehicle control. The next one is torque control allowing the vehicles to get better performance in several cases provided careful application is achieved. This paper addresses dynamic phenomena of skid steering vehicles during steering and compares with vehicle driving control methods between torque(traction force) control and speed control. |
