Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of unmanned reconfiguration and docking of ground vehicles under complex working conditions, we designed a piece of docking equipment composed of an active mechanism based on a six-degree-of-freedom platform and a locking mechanism with multi-sensors. Through the proposed control method based on laser and image sensor information fusion calculation, the six-dimensional posture information of the mechanism during the docking process is captured in real time so as to achieve high-precision docking. Finally, the effectiveness of the method and the feasibility of the 6-DOF platform are verified by the established model. The results show that the mechanism can meet the requirements of smooth docking of ground unmanned vehicles.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
