塔里木大學(xué)畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)
前 言
割草作為草坪修整的一項(xiàng)最基本作業(yè)，人們希望使用簡(jiǎn)單高效經(jīng)濟(jì)適用的割草機(jī)械來完成草坪修建作業(yè)，并輕松完成割草作業(yè)任務(wù)。同時(shí)，要考慮環(huán)境保護(hù)和可持續(xù)發(fā)展的要求，設(shè)法減輕工作中對(duì)環(huán)境的影響，盡量降低其噪音污染，不給周圍環(huán)境造成負(fù)面影響。割草的主要作用是保持草坪上草的可控性正常生長，并通過割草機(jī)的修剪，保持人們預(yù)期的生長高度以及生長形態(tài)，使草坪美化環(huán)境的功能和其他功能得到充分發(fā)揮。目前，大型生態(tài)園的綠地設(shè)計(jì)已是房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)團(tuán)中一個(gè)重要環(huán)節(jié)，草地是綠化的一種重要形式。目前，庭院里修整草地通常使用身背柴油機(jī)作動(dòng)力，采用尼龍繩甩打草葉；或者是使用電動(dòng)、柴油機(jī)的割草機(jī)，這種割草機(jī)體積大、噪音大，適用于空曠大草坪，易夾草出故障，遇到石塊可能使刀片斷裂，發(fā)生事故。隨著國內(nèi)人們生活水平的提高，人們對(duì)居住的綠化水平要求越來越高，尤其帶花園的別墅不斷增加，更需要開發(fā)一種適合小面積草地、簡(jiǎn)單靈活的手推式割草機(jī)。
本設(shè)計(jì)討論分析了旋刀式割草機(jī)機(jī)的基礎(chǔ)參數(shù)，參考已有旋刀式割草機(jī)的參數(shù)，既要保證工作要求，又要盡量減小噪音污染并提高刀片的時(shí)候用壽命。設(shè)計(jì)出一款經(jīng)濟(jì)適用，成本低廉，可大范圍推廣的割草機(jī)械，為人們的居住環(huán)境的美化提供良好的實(shí)現(xiàn)工具。
旋刀式割草機(jī)的改進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì),姓 名：陳作喜 班 級(jí)：機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)12-2 學(xué) 號(hào)：1061208010 指導(dǎo)老師：范修文,一、課題背景及其意義,隨著社會(huì)的進(jìn)步和經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，人們對(duì)生存環(huán)境的要求也越來越高，城市環(huán)境的保護(hù)得到越來越多的重視。我國草坪建設(shè)也得到了迅速的發(fā)展。草坪美化環(huán)境，固土護(hù)坡，凈化空氣多種功能已經(jīng)成為人們的共識(shí)。割草機(jī)作為草坪養(yǎng)護(hù)的基本工具，已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了大規(guī)模的生產(chǎn)和使用。一些最新的科學(xué)理論、最新的科研成果和最新的科學(xué)技術(shù)都在這些機(jī)械設(shè)備上有體現(xiàn)?？刂葡到y(tǒng)方面，單片機(jī)、可編程控制器PLC、工業(yè)控制機(jī)控制IPC等得自動(dòng)化控制手段都得到充分的應(yīng)用。一些發(fā)達(dá)國家如美國已經(jīng)發(fā)明機(jī)器人割草機(jī)，實(shí)現(xiàn)了自動(dòng)化作業(yè)。,二、 整機(jī)總體設(shè)計(jì)方案,旋刀式割草機(jī)主要萬向輪、下機(jī)架、發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)、上機(jī)架、推桿、工作軸、工業(yè)走輪和刀片等組成。汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)提供動(dòng)力，其輸出軸和工作軸通過花鍵連接，帶動(dòng)旋刀工作，使其實(shí)現(xiàn)割草動(dòng)作，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)有油門控制旋鈕，通過旋轉(zhuǎn)旋鈕控制發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的轉(zhuǎn)速以及停止，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)控制旋刀的工作轉(zhuǎn)速，使其能夠在操作者的要求之下工作。機(jī)具的行走通過操作者推動(dòng)割草機(jī)來實(shí)現(xiàn)，割草機(jī)的前輪是萬向輪，可以實(shí)現(xiàn)割草機(jī)的靈活轉(zhuǎn)向。,在割草機(jī)工作時(shí)，行走的操作者為割草機(jī)提供行走動(dòng)力，并控制使其按人的要求轉(zhuǎn)向；發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)帶動(dòng)刀片旋轉(zhuǎn)實(shí)現(xiàn)割草作業(yè)。翼片可將刀殼內(nèi)的空氣排出，這時(shí)刀殼內(nèi)形成負(fù)壓，當(dāng)草長的較高，割草機(jī)前進(jìn)時(shí)，刀殼前部下緣會(huì)把草按倒；當(dāng)草長得茂盛而發(fā)生倒伏時(shí)，刀殼外的空氣刀殼內(nèi)時(shí)，可對(duì)倒伏的草起到提升的作用。翼片旋轉(zhuǎn)形成的氣流可將刀刃切下的草屑懸浮到氣流中，經(jīng)排草口排除刀殼，就地灑落。,三、主要零部件設(shè)計(jì)和創(chuàng)新點(diǎn)3.1割草高度調(diào)節(jié)方案一,銷軸調(diào)整,可通過使在機(jī)架上的銷軸插入不同高度的孔來調(diào)整旋刀的離地高度，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)割草高度的調(diào)整。,3.2割草高度調(diào)節(jié)方案二,通過調(diào)整改變花鍵的配合尺寸，從而達(dá)到調(diào)節(jié)旋刀的離地高度，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)割草高度的調(diào)節(jié)。工作軸與傳動(dòng)軸由螺紋管連接，可以固定調(diào)整后的高度。,花鍵連接調(diào)節(jié)原理,3.3兩種方案的比較,兩種方案都可以通過簡(jiǎn)單的結(jié)構(gòu)實(shí)現(xiàn)割草高度的調(diào)節(jié)，同時(shí)簡(jiǎn)化了機(jī)具結(jié)構(gòu)，使得機(jī)具的使用和維護(hù)都變得簡(jiǎn)單易行。 方案一的調(diào)節(jié)更加簡(jiǎn)單可靠，在使用過程中不容易出現(xiàn)各種故障。 方案二的調(diào)節(jié)操作更加簡(jiǎn)便，但是由于機(jī)具結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，不便于頻繁操作調(diào)節(jié)割草高度。 兩種方案使用一種就可以達(dá)到調(diào)節(jié)割草高度的使用要求，操作時(shí)應(yīng)避免兩種方案同時(shí)進(jìn)行。,3.4 刀片,,刀片選材及其結(jié)構(gòu),參考旋刀式割草機(jī)刀片研究的最新進(jìn)展，刀片材料選用65Mn鋼，等溫淬火后硬度達(dá)4250HRC，可以顯著改善刀片磨損，提高片的使用壽命。 研究指出，刀片速度為7197m/s時(shí)，刀片結(jié)構(gòu)上，翼篇形成角其2535度，翼弦高1719mm，翼弦長度為5676mm，刀厚3mm時(shí)，由旋刀引起的空氣動(dòng)力噪聲相對(duì)較低。 根據(jù)以上文獻(xiàn)資料確定刀片結(jié)構(gòu)，并作出三維實(shí)體模型。,四、結(jié)論與展望,1、本文分析了目前國內(nèi)外草坪割草機(jī)械的現(xiàn)狀及存在問題，研究了普通草坪的物理狀況，為旋刀式割草機(jī)參數(shù)提供依據(jù)。 2、針對(duì)當(dāng)前國內(nèi)草坪面積不大卻形狀各異、要求割草靈活方便的問題，結(jié)合草坪修剪及方便實(shí)用和農(nóng)藝特點(diǎn)，吸收了JUS-420旋刀式剪草機(jī)及其它經(jīng)典機(jī)型的設(shè)計(jì)理念，提出旋刀式割草機(jī)的改進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì)的設(shè)計(jì)思路。,3、在整機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)中，以汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)作為動(dòng)力，體積小、成本低、工作可靠。采用裝配式機(jī)架，汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)輸出動(dòng)力帶動(dòng)旋刀工作，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)固定在機(jī)架上方，使整機(jī)結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單緊湊又可根據(jù)不同工作環(huán)境以及工作要求調(diào)整機(jī)架。行走輪與機(jī)架直接固定，通過推桿實(shí)行轉(zhuǎn)向。其他零部件經(jīng)過計(jì)算校核后，盡可能采用通用件或標(biāo)準(zhǔn)件，體現(xiàn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)、實(shí)用、操作簡(jiǎn)易、維護(hù)簡(jiǎn)單、成本低廉的設(shè)計(jì)原則。,五、 致 謝,對(duì)于這次畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)的完成，首先感謝母校塔里木大學(xué)的辛勤培育，感謝學(xué)校給我提供了如此難得的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境和機(jī)會(huì)，使我學(xué)到了許多新的知識(shí)、知道了知識(shí)的可貴與獲取知識(shí)的辛勤。 承蒙范修文老師的耐心指導(dǎo)，我順利地完成了我的畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)。在此深深感謝四年大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)過程中所有授予我知識(shí)的老師，感謝你們！同時(shí)感謝范修文老師在設(shè)計(jì)中的方案確定以及設(shè)計(jì)細(xì)節(jié)上的指導(dǎo)。 在我的設(shè)計(jì)過程中，還得到了眾多同學(xué)的支持和幫助，在此，我對(duì)這些同學(xué)表示我衷心的感謝和永遠(yuǎn)的祝福！,肯請(qǐng)各位老師批評(píng)指正！,謝謝！,

引言——本文提出了一種多傳感器系統(tǒng)從超聲波傳感器和導(dǎo)航相結(jié)合的測(cè)量機(jī)器人割草機(jī)。利用傳感系統(tǒng)使機(jī)器人割草機(jī)來映射未知的環(huán)境。對(duì)于自動(dòng)割草機(jī)器人能在未知的環(huán)境中進(jìn)行定位和導(dǎo)航執(zhí)行割草任務(wù)是很重要的。由于環(huán)境的復(fù)雜性，簡(jiǎn)單的一種傳感器是不足夠割草機(jī)器人來完成這些任務(wù)。我們開發(fā)了一個(gè)配有DSPTMS320F2812作為CPU割草機(jī)器人。感測(cè)系統(tǒng)集成由超聲波傳感器，紅外傳感器，碰撞傳感器，編碼器，一個(gè)溫度傳感器和電子羅盤組成。超聲波測(cè)距技術(shù)變換是基于小波變換的精度高來表示的，以提高超聲波傳感器測(cè)量精度。仿真研究表明，所提出的多傳感器信息融合的方法是非常有效的對(duì)于導(dǎo)航割草機(jī)器人。實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明，該傳感系統(tǒng)基于相關(guān)的規(guī)定障礙檢測(cè)和定位顯示出巨大的潛力，為在動(dòng)態(tài)工作條件下的割草機(jī)器人提供一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的高性價(jià)比的解決方案。

1.緒論
草坪修剪被許多人認(rèn)為是一個(gè)最枯燥，累人的日常任務(wù)。首先迫切需要執(zhí)行的任務(wù)是能適應(yīng)環(huán)境的機(jī)器人。一些預(yù)測(cè)表明，割草機(jī)器人將是一個(gè)最有前途的個(gè)人機(jī)器人應(yīng)用，并有重大的市場(chǎng)在世界上。因此，智能化的概念割草機(jī)器人（IRM）在1997年度會(huì)議的OPEI（ 戶外電力會(huì)議設(shè)備研究所）上第一次提出[ 1 ]。該機(jī)器人主要面對(duì)一般家庭幫助忙碌的人們和乏力的老人們節(jié)省支付雇傭勞動(dòng)力的報(bào)酬，同時(shí)消除人們來自噪聲中，花粉和割草刀片的危害。割草機(jī)器人是服務(wù)于家庭護(hù)理的室外移動(dòng)機(jī)器人，是那種真正的智能機(jī)電一體化的環(huán)境清理設(shè)備[ 2 ] [ 3 ]。最重要的是割草機(jī)器人為代表的一些地區(qū)覆蓋的環(huán)保機(jī)器人不僅用于室內(nèi)地面清潔，如[ 4 ]也在危險(xiǎn)的環(huán)境中，例如去地雷，清理輻射點(diǎn)，勘探資源等。與室內(nèi)移動(dòng)機(jī)器人不同，割草機(jī)器人得到很大的挑戰(zhàn)。
在整個(gè)工作區(qū)域內(nèi)，割草機(jī)器人使用傳感器來感知環(huán)境以及識(shí)別他們的實(shí)時(shí)狀態(tài)下的環(huán)境障礙，地圖構(gòu)建，定位和導(dǎo)航。由于環(huán)境的復(fù)雜性，一種簡(jiǎn)單的傳感器是不足以讓割草機(jī)器人來完成這些任務(wù)的。因此有必要結(jié)合來自不同的傳感器上觀察到的傳感器數(shù)據(jù)減少機(jī)器人在任何工作環(huán)境工作的不確定性。為來自各種傳感器的信息能合并，傳感器魯棒性和實(shí)時(shí)性的融合是必需的[ 5 ]。在傳感器出現(xiàn)誤差或失敗的情況下，多融合傳感器融合也可以減少不確定信息，并提高其可靠性。
低成本的傳感系統(tǒng)，說明其低功耗，高性能。超聲波傳感器檢測(cè)范圍是0.3m~ 5m，他們提供良好的范圍信息。然而，環(huán)境引起的鏡面漫反射是超聲波傳感器的不確定因素，讓他們不具吸引力。紅外傳感器的檢測(cè)范圍是0.02m~ 1m，他們可以檢測(cè)在超聲波傳感器的盲區(qū)的障礙。
為了滿足割草機(jī)器人低成本和高精度的測(cè)距技術(shù)的需求，在研究超聲波測(cè)距技術(shù)基于高精度的小波分析變換（WT）的數(shù)據(jù)報(bào)道，提高超聲波傳感器的測(cè)量精度。測(cè)量數(shù)據(jù)從傳感系統(tǒng)集成，實(shí)現(xiàn)規(guī)劃最佳的，可靠地，完全覆蓋整個(gè)工作計(jì)劃的地區(qū)，使割草機(jī)器人避免未知的障礙。
最后，通過仿真研究和實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明該傳感系統(tǒng)的導(dǎo)航效果，障礙物檢測(cè)和割草機(jī)器人定位。
2.信息資源管理系統(tǒng)的硬件
IRM采用DSP TMS320F2812作為其CPU，包括四個(gè)單元：車輛系統(tǒng)，切割系統(tǒng)，傳感系統(tǒng)和控制系統(tǒng)。傳感系統(tǒng)是用來收集外部動(dòng)態(tài)信息的工作環(huán)境
避障，地圖構(gòu)建，導(dǎo)航與定位。它也可以用來檢測(cè)車輛系統(tǒng)的運(yùn)動(dòng)參數(shù)和切削機(jī)構(gòu)的工作狀況。該控制器將獲得的信息與數(shù)據(jù)庫進(jìn)行比較，然后發(fā)出修正后精確的命令讓機(jī)器人完成任務(wù)。信息資源管理的硬件，如圖1所示。
IMR硬件概要圖1
機(jī)器人必須身體強(qiáng)壯，計(jì)算速度快，行動(dòng)準(zhǔn)確和安全。它應(yīng)該有能力
，而在全部或大部分的割草期間無需人的干預(yù)。IRM由于模塊化設(shè)計(jì)，各單元的管理是相對(duì)獨(dú)立的。模塊化設(shè)計(jì)使維護(hù)更容易。IRM任何損壞單元都可以直接取代而不影響其它單元的功能。
3.傳感系統(tǒng)
A：超聲波傳感器單元
超聲波傳感器可以提供良好的范圍是基于飛行時(shí)間（TOF）信息原理，主要是由于其簡(jiǎn)單性和成本相對(duì)較低，他們已廣泛應(yīng)用于移動(dòng)機(jī)器人的障礙物回避，地圖構(gòu)建等。這種類型的外部傳感器能很好測(cè)量的障礙物的距離。靈敏度函數(shù)的主瓣內(nèi)包含一個(gè)20度角，如圖2所示的【6】。大量的試驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明，傳感器的精度范圍為±2cm。
圖2為超聲波傳感器的典型的強(qiáng)度分布
對(duì)于IRM，我們建立了一個(gè)傳感器陣列由12超聲波傳感器間隔30度的間隔。超聲波信號(hào)可以覆蓋所有的空間，可以要求哪些機(jī)器人檢測(cè)整個(gè)空間的環(huán)境信號(hào)。用基于TOF的測(cè)量的超聲換能器的經(jīng)典技術(shù)，計(jì)算出的距離最近的反射器利用聲音在空氣中的速度從發(fā)射脈沖到回波到達(dá)時(shí)間。距離D為反映對(duì)象的計(jì)算
D =（C×T）/ 2 （1）
其中C是聲音的速度，T是飛行時(shí)間。該TOF法產(chǎn)生一系列的值時(shí)，回波幅度首次超過臨界值后發(fā)送，忽略第二回波從進(jìn)一步的反射。
超聲波傳感器單元包括一個(gè)觸發(fā)脈沖生成單元，一個(gè)多通道選擇單元和回聲接收單元。傳感器接口電路設(shè)計(jì)發(fā)送和接收超聲波脈沖，捕獲的總是第一個(gè)返回的回聲。一個(gè)對(duì)象相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)的范圍要考慮到即使是位于在錐軸離軸。
超聲波頻率通常在40和180千赫之間，而在該系統(tǒng)中超聲波傳感器的頻率使用的是40千赫。光束角度是20度。40千赫PWM脈沖是由通用DSP的定時(shí)器單元產(chǎn)生的。驅(qū)動(dòng)發(fā)射機(jī)有效而不帶來大的振動(dòng)，40千赫的超聲波一次突發(fā)的時(shí)間是8周期。當(dāng)超聲波脈沖發(fā)射時(shí)，傳感器將經(jīng)歷“振鈴”。振鈴引起的由所發(fā)送的脈沖可以使接收器檢測(cè)到一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤回聲。這個(gè)不能夠捕獲解決DSP中斷問題，直到延遲間隔已過。這意味著在延遲的時(shí)間間隔那測(cè)距儀不能檢測(cè)物體距離該傳感器是少于一半的聲音傳播的距離。這是該超聲波傳感器的盲區(qū)，如圖3所示。
圖3超聲波發(fā)射和接收示意圖
B.：.紅外傳感器裝置和其他傳感器
針對(duì)超聲波傳感器的盲區(qū)，增加了紅外傳感器。紅外傳感器可以檢測(cè)在20cm內(nèi)的障礙，這彌補(bǔ)了超聲波傳感器由于失明問題所造成的區(qū)域的問題。
這個(gè)單元有16個(gè)紅外傳感器。每個(gè)紅外搜索器范圍有6度，是靈敏度函數(shù)主要的圓錐曲線的視圖。該傳感器具有一個(gè)高精度測(cè)量范圍，有效測(cè)量范圍是一個(gè)目標(biāo)到一米左右。一些測(cè)試表明，該傳感器的測(cè)距精度在±1cm左右。
為了節(jié)省DSP的資源，16個(gè)紅外傳感器采用DSP TMS320F2812的數(shù)據(jù)接口代替IO接口。這種結(jié)構(gòu)也可以同時(shí)讀取傳感器的狀態(tài)，以確保該系統(tǒng)的時(shí)間性能。傳感器接口電路用于發(fā)送和接收紅外脈沖并總是捕獲第一個(gè)回波來處理其振幅。
割草機(jī)器人在室外環(huán)境中工作時(shí)，其溫度變化迅速。溫度的變化會(huì)影響聲音的速度。因此，溫度傳感器用于保證超聲波傳感器的精度。碰撞傳感器是一組敏感的樣本，采用它是為了防止意外的碰撞造成的損害。由于潮濕的環(huán)境會(huì)危害IRM電路，濕度傳感器被引入用于檢測(cè)濕度環(huán)境。雖然這些傳感器不完全是
一個(gè)自主割草機(jī)器人機(jī)必要的，但他們可以提供有益的功能，讓工作更具有效性和安全性。
4.導(dǎo)航技術(shù)
A. 映射
正如圖4所示，基準(zhǔn)方向的X定義和機(jī)器人的坐標(biāo)為，。關(guān)于內(nèi)置電子羅盤對(duì)于機(jī)器人的幫助，角，這是從第一個(gè)傳感器得來的角度，可容易衡量。實(shí)際上，如果只在角（標(biāo)題的機(jī)器人角）的測(cè)量，從其他傳感器的角度可以發(fā)現(xiàn)
角是我們的世界坐標(biāo)中心。該超聲波傳感器組的最大環(huán)數(shù)為n，半徑為R（在我們的系統(tǒng)中，n = 12和R = 0.25m）。該環(huán)的原點(diǎn)到中心之間的距離是r，并且該向中心的基準(zhǔn)角度是Ω。根據(jù)參考位置機(jī)器人的中心是（，）。這個(gè)距離是從原點(diǎn)到通過兩個(gè)傳感器數(shù)據(jù)檢測(cè)的二維平面稱之為。
現(xiàn)在讓我們用DMI測(cè)量值來分別表示從超聲波和紅外傳感器得到的數(shù)據(jù)，用于精確距離。這些值之間會(huì)有一個(gè)誤差
在這項(xiàng)工作中，我們自然假設(shè)是一個(gè)均勻隨機(jī)變量在（W，W）范圍內(nèi)。在這里，W表示最大距離測(cè)量誤差。這里的問題是，給定的，，r ，，，，，和，，，，，估計(jì)占用的坐標(biāo)細(xì)胞和（或等價(jià)的）以最有效的方法。涉及檢測(cè)對(duì)象的方程可以寫為
圖4所示機(jī)器人在X-Y段的位置
由于對(duì)象涉及機(jī)器人的方程被寫為
如果我們定義的位置為：=，，，，，然后我們有
將插入到中，
在這里我們有N個(gè)這樣的方程。我們把它們矩陣形式
如果我們引入新的矩陣
，然后（10），
可以寫為
在這里，如果我們進(jìn)行最小二乘法估計(jì)，我們得到
因此，我們用最小二乘法估計(jì)找到最好的位置。
B. 仿真研究
基于傳感器導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了測(cè)試在顯示該傳感器融合方法的有效性的兩種環(huán)境分別如圖5和圖6所示。割草機(jī)是一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)化的實(shí)驗(yàn)室初步測(cè)試如圖5所示。開始在（0.3m，0.5m，0°），一個(gè)虛擬的機(jī)器人在虛擬廣場(chǎng)走廊一次。墻在人工環(huán)境中是由真正的地圖表示的。
全車是獨(dú)立的。它有一個(gè)最大的運(yùn)行速度是0.4米/秒。實(shí)驗(yàn)室面積調(diào)查出在10cm精度優(yōu)于1cm為佳。提取映射，提出了一開始的目標(biāo)。機(jī)器人位置和方向是由電子羅盤成立[ 8 ]。

The proposed sensing system enables robot mowers to mapping unknown environments. It is important for an autonomous robot mower to explore its surroundings in performing the task of localization and navigation for mowing. Because of the complexity of the environment, one simple kind of sensors is not sufficient for robot mower to accomplish these tasks. We develop a robot mower equipped with DSP TMS320F2812 as its CPU. The sensing system integrates with ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, collision sensors, encoders, a temperature sensor and an electronic compass. A method of high accuracy ultrasonic ranging technology based on wavelet transform is reported to improve the measurement precision of ultrasonic sensors. Simulation studies show that the proposed multisensor fusion method is very effective for the navigation of robot mowers. Experimental results indicate that this sensing system based on generalized auto-correlation method for obstacle detection and localization shows great potential for providing a high performance-to-price ratio and robust solution for robot mowers in dynamic working condition. Index Terms - multisensor fusion, ultrasonic sensors, robot mower, mapping, navigation I. INTRODUCTION Lawn mowing is considered by many to be one of the most boring and tiring routine tasks. The environmental robots are needed urgently to perform the task. Some predictions indicate that the robot mowers will be one of the most promising personal robot applications and have substantial market in the world. Therefore, the concept of Intelligent Robot Mower (IRM) had been proposed for the first time in 1997s annual conference of the OPEI (Outdoor Power Equipment Institute) 1. The robots mainly face to the general families to help the busy people and the hypodynamic old folks save the payments for hiring labours, also remove people from noise, pollen and danger of mowing blade. The robot mowers serve for home care as the outdoor mobile robots, actually kind of intelligent mechatronics devices for environment clean-up 23. The important thing is that the robot mowers are representative of some area-covering environmental robots used not only for indoor floor cleaning as in 4 but also in hazardous environments such as removing landmines, cleaning up radiant points and prospecting for resources etc. The robot mowers get great challenges differing from indoor mobile robots. The robot mowers use sensors to understand environments as well as their real-time states for obstacle avoidance, map building, location and navigation in the whole work area. Because of the complexity of the environment, one simple kind of sensors is not sufficient for robot mower to accomplish these tasks. It is necessary to combine the observed sensor data coming from different sensors to reduce the uncertainties of the robot in any working environment. To merge the information from the various sensors, robust and real-time sensor fusion is required 5. In cases of sensor error or failure, multisensor fusion can also reduce uncertainty in the information and increase its reliability. A sensing system of low cost, low power consumption, high performance is described. The detecting range of ultrasonic sensors is 0.3m5m, they provide good range information. However, uncertainties in ultrasonic sensors caused by the specular reflection from environments make them less attractive. The detecting range of infrared sensors is 0.02m1m, they can detect the obstacles within the ultrasonic sensors blind zone. In order to satisfy the needs of robot mowers for the low cost and high accuracy ranging technology, the research on the high accuracy ultrasonic ranging technology based on wavelet transform (WT) is reported to improve the measurement precision of ultrasonic sensors. Measurement data gathered from the sensing system are integrated to avoid the robot mower from unknown obstacles and plan an optimum, reliable and realizable plan completely coverage of entire working area. Finally, simulation studies and experimental results show the effectiveness of the sensing system for the navigation, obstacle detection and localization of robot mowers. II. SYSTEM HARDWARE OF IRM The IRM uses DSP TMS320F2812 as its CPU, including four units: vehicle system, cutting system, sensing system and control system. The sensing system is used to collect the external dynamic information of the working environment for obstacle avoidance, map building, navigation and localization. It is also used to detect vehicle systems movement parameters and cutting mechanisms working status. The controller compares the acquired information with the database, and then sends out revisory and accurate command to the robot to perform its tasks. The hardware of the IRM is shown in Fig. 1. Multisensor Fusion and Navigation for Robot Mower * 978-1-4244-1758-2/08/$25.00 2008 IEEE. 417 Proceedings of the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics December 15 -18, 2007, Sanya, China Fig. 1 Hardware overview of IMR The robot must be physically strong, computationally fast, behaviourally accurate and safety. It should have the ability to perform on its own, and required no human intervention during the whole or most part of the mowing period. The IRM is modularized designed and each unit of the IRM is relatively independent. Modularized design makes the maintenance much easier. Any broken unit of the IRM can be replaced directly without influencing the functions of other units. III. SENSING SYSTEM A. Ultrasonic Sensor Unit Because ultrasonic sensors can provide good range information based on the time of the flight (TOF) principle, mainly due to their simplicity and relatively low cost, they have been widely used in mobile robots for obstacle avoidance, map building and so on. This type of external sensor is very good in obstacles distance measurement. The main lobe of the sensitivity function is contained within an angle of 20 degrees, as shown in Fig. 2 6. A number of tests showed that the range accuracy of the sensors is in the order of 2cm. Fig. 2 Typical intensity distribution of an ultrasonic sensor On IRM, we set up a sensor array which consists of 12 ultrasonic sensors spaced 30 degrees apart. The ultrasonic signals can cover all the space around and satisfy the space requirement about which robot can detect the environmental signals. Classical techniques used in ultrasonic transducers are based on TOF measurement, which calculates the distance of the nearest reflector using the speed of sound in air and the emitted pulse and echo arrival times. The distance d to a reflected object is calculated by ()2dct= (1) where c is the speed of sound, and t is the time-of-flight. The TOF method produces a range value when the echo amplitude first exceeds the threshold level after transmitting, ignoring a second echo from a further reflector. The ultrasonic sensor unit includes a trigger pulse generation unit, a multi-channel selection unit and an echo receiving unit. A sensor interface circuitry designed to send and receive ultrasonic sound pulses catches always the first returning echo. The range data related to an object is considered to be on the conic axes even if it is located off the axes. The ultrasonic wave typically has a frequency between 40 and 180 kHz, and the frequency of the ultrasonic sensors used in the system is 40 kHz. The beam angle is 20 degrees. The 40 kHz PWM pulse is generated by the general-purpose timer unit of DSP. To drive the transmitter effectively and not to bring much vibration, an 8 cycle burst of ultrasound at 40 kHz is sent out once a time. When the ultrasonic pulse is emitted, the sensor will experience “ringing”. Ringing caused by the transmitted pulse can cause the receiver to detect a false echo. This problem is solved by not enabling the capture interrupt of DSP until a delay interval has passed. This means that the ranger can not detect an object whose distance from the sensor is less than half the distance that sound travels during the delay interval. This is the blind zone of the ultrasonic sensor, as shown in Fig. 3. Trigger pulse Emitted signal Received signal TOF Blind zone Echo Fig. 3 The sketch map of ultrasonic transmission and reception B. Infrared Sensor Unit and Other Sensors To overcome the ultrasonic sensors blind zone, infrared sensors are added. The infrared sensors can detect obstacles within 20cm, which patch up the problem caused by the blind zone problem of ultrasonic sensors. This unit has 16 infrared sensors. Each infrared range finder has a conic view of 6 degrees which is the main lobe of the sensitivity function. This sensor has a useful measuring range of a target up to about one meter with high accuracy. A number of tests showed that the range accuracy of the sensors is in the order of lcm. In order to save the DSPs resource, 16 infrared sensors are connected with DSP TMS320F2812s data interface 418 instead of the IO interface. This kind of architecture can also read the sensors status at the same time, ensuring the real- time capability of the system. A sensor interface circuitry designed to send and receive infrared pulses catches always the first retuning echo to process its amplitude. Robot mower works in an outdoor environment, where the temperature changes rapidly. The changing of temperature will affect the speed of sound. Therefore, a temperature sensor is used to guarantee the precision of the ultrasonic sensor. Collision sensor is a group of sensitive swatches, which used to prevent the damage caused by unexpected collision. Because moist environment do harm to the circuit of the IRM, humidity sensors are introduced to detect the humidity of the environment. Although these sensors are not absolutely necessary for an autonomous robot mower, they can provide helpful functions to make the work availability and safety. IV. SENSOR-BASED NAVIGATION A. Mapping As seen in Fig. 4, a reference direction x is defined and the robot coordinates are shown as R x , R y . By the help of an electronic compass built in on the robot 7, the angle i , which is the ith sensors angle from the 1st sensor, can be easily measured. Actually if only the angle S (heading angle of the robot) is measured, other sensor angles can be found as iSi =+ (2) where i is the angle to the our world coordinate center. The number of maximum sensor group on the ultrasonic ring is n, and the radius is r (in our system n=12 and r=0.25m). The distance between the origin and the center of the ring is R, and reference angle to the center is . The reference position of the robots center is ( R x , R y ). The distance from the origin to object which is detected by the ith sensor data on the two dimensional plane is called i R . Now let i dm denote measured value which is combined data from the ultrasonic and infrared sensors, for the exact distance i R . There will be an error i between these values as iii dm d =+. (3) In this work we naturally assume that i is a uniform random variable in the range of (-W, W). Here W denotes the maximum distance measurement error. Here the problem is, given R x , R y , r, 12 ,,, n g34 , and 12 ,,, n dm dm dmg34 , to estimate the coordinates of the occupied cells i x and i y (or equivalently i R ) in most efficient way. The equations involving the detected object can be written as 222 (( )cos()(( )sin() iR i i R i i Rxrd yrd=++ +++ (4) 22 2 ()2()(cos()sin() iii RR rd rdx y=++ + + + 22 2 ( ) 2( )cos( ) ii R R R rd rd =++ + + (5) y x x y R R g455 d d O Fig. 4 The robot position on x-y section The equations involving the robot due to the object can be written as 222 (( )cos()(( )sin() iiii i Rxrd yrd=+ ++ (6) 222 2 ()2()(cos()sin() ii i ii ii i Rxy rd rdx y =+++ + + If we define the positions as: 11 ,, , TT in Ppp p xy==g34 , then we have 22 2 ( ) 2( ) cos( ), sin( ) ii ii ii R R rd rd y P=++ + (7) After the inserting the 2 i R in 2 R , ( ) cos( ) cos(),sin() iiii rd R y P++ = (8) Here again we have n such equations. And we write them in matrix form i mAP= (9) And if we introduce new matrix as () cos(),sin() iiii LP= and 0,0 = , then (10), can be written as 111 1 2 cos( ) ( ) () cos( ) ( ) R nRn nn rdm R L p L rdm R L p ++ g170g186g170 g186g170g186 g171g187g171 g187g171g187 g171g187g171 g187g171g187 g171g187g171 g187g171g187= g171g187g171 g187g171g187 g171g187g171 g187g171g187 g171g187g171 g187g171g187 ++ g172g188g172 g188g172g188 Here if we perform the least squares estimate for i P , we obtain 1 ()( ) TT lsq i PAAAm = (11) Thus we find the best squares estimate of the positions. B. Simulation Studies Sensor-based navigation has been tested with simulation to shown the usefulness of this sensor fusion method in the two environments respectively as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. The mower has been primarily tested in a structured laboratory as shown in Fig. 5. Start at (0.3m, 0.5m, 0degree), a virtual 419 robot was driven around a virtual square corridor one time. The walls in the artificial environment are denoted by the real map. The entire vehicle is self-contained. It has a maximum travel speed on 0.4 m/s. The laboratory area was surveyed out to a 10cm grid with accuracy better than about 1cm. To extract the mapping, a start and goal points were presented. The robot position and orientation were established by the electronic compass 8. Fig. 5 Data collection and navigation result in structured environment The result in Fig. 5 demonstrates the mapping quality and the usefulness of this sensor fusion method. In the tests, we find that the average error ( ) in estimating the position of the obstacles in the environment was in the range of -0.2, 0.2m. In the simulations we see that () lsq i P in (11), obtained does not satisfy () ilsqi RP= which actually should. In the case a better estimate for the positions can be given as ()() () i ei lsqi lsq i R PP P = (12) In this case, estimate for the angle i does not change but the estimate for distance i R is scaled to it best estimate. Therefore for the position, the distance estimate i R remains the same as before, while the least squares estimate works only for the angle i . Simulations show that this way produces more accurate results. Fig. 6 The simulation result of wall-following behavior Wall following was selected for the initial problem domain because it is a fairly simple problem to set up and evaluate 9. It also lays the groundwork for more complex problem domains, such as maze traversal, mapping and complete coverage path planning which is used on lawn mowing and vacuuming. The simulation result of wall- following behavior shown in Fig. 6, and the experimental result in Fig. 6 demonstrate that the IRM have the capability to perform its mowing task in unstructured environment. The program of sensor-based navigation simulation in Fig. 5 is given below.

ULTRASONIC RANGING TECHNOLOGY BASED ON WT Unfortunately, the practical received multi-echoes has time-varying property and is a typical non-stationary signal because the influence of the environmental complexity and the noise. Furthermore, the noise mixed in the ultrasonic pulse- echo is Non-Gaussian white noise but colored noise, and correlated with the target echo. The TOF method can not be used directly in such conditions. Referencing the generalized correlation method for estimation of time delay 10, we put forward the generalized auto-correlation method for estimation of time-of-flight based on wavelet transform 11 and present in Fig. 7. Fig. 7 Delay estimation of generalized auto-correlation based on WT Where ()t is the mother wavelet and () a t is the daughter wavelet. The coefficient is the scale (or scaling factor) and is the time displacement. The wavelet transform of the signal ()x t is ()yt . Actually this is a filtering process of the ultrasonic echo using a multitude of bandpass filters of equal Q , which is equivalent to the whitening filter of the generalized correlation method for estimation of time delay, in order to eliminate the input noise which can influence the following processing. () yy R can be found as ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) yy xx a a R Eyt yt R t t t == As there has the relationship of Fourier transform between auto-correlation function () yy R and his power spectrume: 2 () () ()()() ()() yy yy xx xx GFRG aaG a === We obtain the generalized auto-correlation function as Last, the peak values of () yy R are detected to accomplish the estimation of TOF and calculate the real ultrasonic velocity. Fig. 8 Noisy ultrasonic echo Fig. 9 Denoised echo using WT Fig. 10 Auto-correlation function () yy R Fig. 11 Peak detection The noisy ultrasonic echo is shown in Fig. 8, and the denoised ultrasonic echo by wavelet transform is shown in Fig. 9. It is obvious that the noise mixed in the ultrasonic echo is effectively eliminated after WT operation. The auto- correlation operation () yy R of the denoised ultrasonic echo is shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 11 shows the envelope of () yy R through Hilbert transform. As we can see, if the abscissa of every peak point is determined, the estimation of TOF g109 ND can be calculated. Considered the attenuation of the ultrasonic echo and the demand of the high precision in practice, only the former four echoes are used to estimate the TOF. The values of the TOF estimation are g110g110 g109 g108 g109 g109 3,2, ,,2,3DDDDDD , which are symmetrical to the x-axis. Using this method, the estimation of the ultrasonic velocity can be calculated. So far, an obstacle detection and localization system has been implemented successfully. By means of above method, an obstacle detection and localization system has been implemente
