A Practical Trajectory Following of an Articulated Steering Type Vehicle

Field and Service Robotics

Abstract

We are interested in automated control of an articulated steering type vehicle like a wheel loader. We consider a typical motion of the wheel loader drawing a V-shape when it picks gravel up and loads it to the dump truck. A symmetrical clothoid is proposed to specify the V-shape trajectory. Representation of the trajectory and a method to follow the trajectory by a miniature wheel loader is illustrated in this paper, together with the implementation and experimental results.
