Abstract:Aiming at the problems of complex environment, insufficient autonomous walking ability and low trajectory tracking accuracy faced by fully automatic transplanter in facility greenhouse operation, a tracked electric-driven mobile platform architecture driven by wheel-side motors was proposed, a multi-degree-of-freedom kinematics model was constructed, a variable time-domain MPC strategy combining with fuzzy control was put forward, and the corresponding TC-MPC controller was designed, the U-shaped trajectory simulation test was completed in Matlab/Simulink simulation environment and verified by greenhouse test. The results of the U-shaped trajectory simulation test showed that when the electric drive mobile platform was tracking the trajectory at three different speeds of 0.6 m/s, 0.8 m/s and 1 m/s, the transverse maximum absolute errors of the TC-MPC controller were 2.55 cm, 3.12 cm and 3.71 cm, respectively, and the transverse maximum absolute errors under the MPC controller were 2.80 cm, 3.73 cm and 4.51 cm, respectively. The U-shaped trajectory test in the greenhouse scene showed that the lateral mean absolute errors of the TC-MPC controller at speeds of 0.6 m/s, 0.8 m/s and 1 m/s were 0.82 cm, 1.12 cm and 1.28 cm, respectively, which were reduced by 21.15%, 17.04% and 15.23% compared with that of the MPC controller. The trajectory tracking effect was significantly improved. The research result can provide a reference for the trajectory tracking control research of greenhouse transplanting electric-driven mobile platform.
