The Optimal Design Of Competitive Robot

The robot competition is a high-tech activities unfolded rapidly in recent years at home and abroad, it involves a number of areas of cutting-edge technology which contains intelligent control, artificial intelligence, decision-making system design, sensor technology, communications technology and so on. Robotics Competition is an important means of automation and information technology personnel training, and also contributed to the study researchers in related fields, it is also an effective way to progress in high-tech windows and practical promotion of scientific and technological achievements.The main work of this paper is to study and optimization design of group collaborative robot which is a free play of project. Firstly, in order to improve the performance of the robot, the system uses the ARM Cortex-M3 core-based microprocessors.The design of competive robot’s hardware is modular:gray detection module, infrared distance sensor, photoelectric encoder module, XBee communication module, motor drive module, LCD module and so on. Then, on the competive robot hardware system migration embedded μC/OS-Ⅱ real-time operating system, the design of the underlying drivers of each hardware module and group robots cooperative control program.Intersection coorperation algorithm based on communicaton consulation has been designed to relize crossed coordination task of swarm robotics.To meet the swarm robots communicate real-time, reliability and distributed collaboration requirements, this design use the XBee module to exchange information between swarm robots. The data confusion which is caused by using a transparent transmission is analyzed and resolved. Finally, the network performance of the system is tested and the results show that the performance of robot control system to meet the communication reliability and real-time requirement.
