| Sumario: | Skid-steered wheeled vehicles are commonly adopted in outdoor environments with the benefits of mobility and flexible structure. However, different from Ackerman turning vehicles, skid-steered vehicles do not possess geometric constraint but only dynamic constraint when steered, which leads to motion control and state estimation problems for skid-steered vehicles. The controlling accuracy of a skid-steered vehicle depends largely on feedback state information from sensors and an observer. In this study, a 3-DOF dynamic model using a Brush nonlinear tire model is built, first, to model a 6 × 6 skid-steered wheeled vehicle in flat ground driving conditions. Then, an observer using the unscented Kalman filter with a strong tracking algorithm and adaptive noise matrix adjustment (AN-STUKF) is established to estimate vehicle motion states based on the 3-DOF dynamic model. Finally, the experiment is carried out in three different driving conditions to verify the accuracy and stability of the proposed method. The results show that the AN-STUKF method possesses better accuracy and tracking rate than the traditional UKF, and the phenomenon of ICRs shifting forward of the skid-steered wheeled vehicle is also verified. |
