| Abstract | This master thesis is mainly focused on implementing a new hybrid omni-mecanum wheel mechanism for an intelligent vehicle. This intelligent vehicle is able to navigate fully autonomously in any indoor area. The most significant parts of this thesis are the development of a new wheel configuration by using two types of w heels. Basically, this mobile robot is having 2 mecanum wheels and a single Omni wheel in a triangular formation. Lidar sensor is used to guide the robot inside the lab while avoiding static as well as dynamic obstacles. The robot is mainly programmed by using Robotics Operating System (ROS) which is a Linux based universal robot platform with a PC and it is able to navigate with an Arduino Due microcontroller. |
