STEERING CONTROLLER FOR MOVABLE ROBOT, STEERING CONTROL METHOD USING THE STEERING CONTROLLER AND MOVABLE ROBOT SYSTEM USING THE STEERING CONTROLLER

摘要

A steering controller for a movable robot is provided. The steering controller drives a plurality of motors, each of which is connected to a wheel. The wheels are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction with respect to an axis of a body of the movable robot. The steering controller comprises an input unit, an output unit and a conversion unit. The input unit receives steering signals including velocities of the movable robot according to the moving directions. The output unit outputs driving signals including rotational velocities of the motors. The conversion unit converts the steering signals to the driving signals. The use of the steering controller enables an operator to intuitionally steer the movable robot, making the movable robot convenient to use.
