PID for Locomotion of an Autonomous Multi-Wheeled Robot Using a Six Axis Gyroscope

Abstract

This research paper is based on the regular problem that occurs in the locomotion of an autonomous multi-wheeled robot. We frequently observe that an autonomous robot is unable to traverse on a specified path to its target location; that is its locomotion has many errors. This problem usually occurs due to asymmetrical mechanical structures, or faults in assembling or manufacturing, or errors in electronic modules that cause imbalanced current distribution to the actuators; also this happens due to unbalanced load on the robot. This problem can be countered and reduced by using the concept of PID. PID takes input from a sensor which acts as the feedback about the position and orientation of the robot and computes the appropriate values of P, I and D and according to that the output is given to the connected actuators which indeed reduces the error and brings the robot on its programmed path. In this paper uses a Six Axis Gyroscope as the sensor which gives the feedback of the current position of the robot to the microcontroller and by using the concept of PID the error is reduced.
