Abstract

This paper presents designing and manufacturing the hardware and software of a low-cost robotic system, which can be installed into any petrol car with an automatic gearbox, giving the ability to a...

Highlights

  • Cost has always been a barrier to turn self-driving cars from blueprints into real world, this kind of technology is for a little portion of buyers only, which prevents human transportation from being moved to the stage of future

  • Because of a high percentage of old cars exist presently (ACEA, 2017), a possible solution is to focus on upgrading old cars instead of replacing them with expensive ones, following this approach allows more cost-effective and economical solution and results in evolution of humanity transportation outside the restriction of economical boundaries

  • In many studies, (Hasunuma et al, 2003; Paolillo, Cherubini, Keith, Kheddar, & Vendittelli, 2014; Rasmussen, Sohn, Wang, & Oh, 2014) and (Yokoi et al, 2006) authors proposed an anthropomorphic humanoid robot which is able to be fit in the driver seat and drives the vehicle

Summary

Introduction

Cost has always been a barrier to turn self-driving cars from blueprints into real world, this kind of technology is for a little portion of buyers only, which prevents human transportation from being moved to the stage of future. 3. Mechanical design The control of steering is based on fixing a gear on steering wheel and a pinion beneath it (Figure 2), the pinion and the gear mesh together allowing movement of steering wheel by achieving 1:7 transmission ratio; a stepper motor connected to the pinion generates a high torque sufficient to rotate the steering wheel. The relation between steering wheel and motor is determined by gear ratio presented in Section 3 (see Figure 13(b)). PWM duty cycle of the motor is increased by 5% when moving from hold state
