Posted 22 June 2021
In my previous post on this subject, I described my effort to improve Wall-E2’s wall tracking performance by leveraging controlled-rate turns and the dual VL53L0X ToF LIDAR arrays. This post describes an enhancement to that effort, aimed at allowing the robot to start from a non-parallel orientation and still capture and track a desired wall offset.
The previous post showed that when starting from a parallel orientation either inside or outside the desired wall offset, the robot would make a turn toward the offset line, move straight ahead until achieving the desired offset, then turn down-track and start tracking the desired offset. The parallel starting condition was chosen to make things easier, but of course that isn’t realistic – the starting orientation may or may not be known. In previous work I created an entire function ‘RotateToParallelOrientation()’ to handle this situation, but I would rather not have to do that. It occurred to me that I might be able to eliminate this function entirely by utilizing the known characteristics of the triple-VL53L0X array. The linear array exhibits a definite relationship between ‘steering value’, (the difference between the front and rear sensor values, divided by 100) and the off-perpendicular orientation of the array. At perpendicular (parallel orientation of the robot), this value is nominally zero, and exhibits a reasonably linear relationship out to about +/- 40º from perpendicular, as shown in the following plot from this post from a year ago.
As can be seen above, the ‘Steering’ value is reasonably linear, with a slope of about -0.0625/deg. So, for instance, the calculated value for an offset of 30cm would be -0.0625*30 = -0.1875, which is very close to the actual plotted value above for 30º
So, it should be possible to calculate the off-perpendicular angle of the robot, just from the measured steering value, and from that knowledge calculate the amount of rotation needed to achieve the desired offset line approach angle.
The desired approach angle was set more or less arbitrarily by
|
1 |
cutAngleDeg = WALL_OFFSET_TGTDIST_CM - (int)(Lidar_LeftCenter / 10.f); |
and this assumes an initial parallel orientation (i.e. 0º offset in the above plot). If, for instance, the initial steering value was -0.1875, indicating that the robot was pointing 30º away from parallel, then the code to compute the total cut (assuming we are tracking the wall on the left side of the robot) would look something like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
TrackLeftWallOffset() { ... ... ... //modify the cut angle based on robot's actual orientation if(cutAngleDeg < 0) //robot inside desired offset distance { adjCutAngleDeg = cutAngleDeg + getSteeringAngle(LeftSteerVal); } else //robot outside desired offset distance { adjCutAngleDeg = cutAngleDeg - getSteeringAngle(LeftSteerVal); } ... ... ... } SpinTurn((adjCutAngleDeg < 0),adjCutAngleDeg); double getSteeringAngle(double steerval) { double val = steerval / -0.0625; //e.g. for steerval = -0.1875, returns +30 } |
So, for example, if the robot’s starting orientation was offset 30º away from the wall, and 20cm inside the desired offset line of 30cm, we would have:
cutAngleDeg = WALL_OFFSET_TGTDIST_CM – (int)(Lidar_LeftCenter / 10.f);
cutAngleDeg = 30 – 10 = 20
adjCutAngleDeg = cutAngleDeg – 30 = -10º, so the robot would actually turn 10º CCW (back toward the wall) before starting to move to capture the desired offset line.
If, on the other hand, the robot was starting from outside the desired offset (say at 60cm), but with the same (away from wall) pointing angle, then the result would be
cutAngleDeg = WALL_OFFSET_TGTDIST_CM – (int)(Lidar_LeftCenter / 10.f);
cutAngleDeg = 30 – 60 = -30
adjCutAngleDeg = cutAngleDeg – 30 = -30 – 30 = -60º, so the robot would actually turn 60º CCW (back toward the wall) before starting to move to capture the desired offset line.
26 June 2021 Update:
I modified my test program to just report the rear, center, and front VL53L0X distances, plus the steering value and the computed off-parallel angle, using the -0.0625 slope value obtained from the above plots. Unfortunately, the results were wildly unrealistic, leading me to believe something was badly wrong somewhere along the line. So, I redid the plots, thinking maybe the left side VL53L0X sensors were different enough to make that much of a difference. When I plotted the steering value vs off-parallel angle for 10, 20, 30 & 40cm wall offsets, I got a significantly different plot, as shown below:
As can be seen in the above plot, the slope of steering values to off-parallel angles is nice and linear, and also quite constant over the range of wall offset distances from 10 to 40 cm; this is quite a bit different than the behavior of the right-side sensor array, but it is what it is. In any case, it appears that the slope is close to 1.4/80 = 0.0175, or almost twice the right-side slope derived from the previous right-side plots.
Using the value of 0.0175 in my GetSteeringAngle() function results, and comparing the calculated off-parallel angle with the actual measured angle, I get the following Excel plot.
As can be seen in the above plot, the agreement between measured and calculated off-parallel angles is quite good, using the average slope value of 0.0175.
The above plot shows the raw values that produced the first plot.
So, back to my ‘FourWD_WallTrackTest’ program to develop Wall-E2’s ability to capture and then track a particular desired offset. In my first iteration, I always started with Wall-E2 parallel to the wall, and calculated an intercept angle based on the difference between the robot’s actual and desired offsets from the near wall. This worked very nicely, but didn’t address what happens if the robot doesn’t start in a parallel orientation. However, when I tried to use the data from a previous post, the results were wildly off. Now it is time to try this trick again, using the above data instead. Because the measured steering value/off angle slopes for all selected wall offsets were essentially identical, I can eliminate the intermediate step of calculating the appropriate slope value based on the current wall offset distance.
So, I modified my ‘getSteeringAngle()’ function to drop the ‘ctr_dist_mm’ parameter and to use a constant 0.0175 slope value, as shown below:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
double getSteeringAngle(double steerval) { //Purpose: Convert a steering angle into the equivalent off-parallel orientation in degrees //Inputs: // steerval = double value denoting current steering value // Notes: // 06/27/21 now steering_val/off_angle slope is a constant 0.0175 const double slopeval = 0.0175; double offparalleldeg = steerval / slopeval; //e.g. for steerval = -0.187 @ 10cm offset, returns +21deg //mySerial.printf("getSteeringAngle(%d, %2.4f): slopeval = %2.4f, res %2.2f\n", ctrdist_cm, steerval, slopeval, offparalleldeg); return offparalleldeg; } |
With this modification, I was able to get pretty decent results; Wall-E2 successfully captured and tracked the desired offsets from three different ‘inside’ (robot closer to wall than the desired offset) orientations, as shown in the following short videos:
04 July 2021 Update:
After succeeding with the ‘inside’ cases, I started working on the ‘outside’ ones. This turned out to be considerably more difficult, as the larger distances from the wall caused considerable variation in the VL53L0X measurements (lower SNR?), which in turn produced more variation in the starting and ‘cut’ angles. However, the result does seem to be reasonably reliable, as shown in the following videos.
05 July Update:
After getting the left-side tracking algorithm working reasonably well, I ported the ‘TrackLeftWallOffset()’ functionality to ‘TrackRightWallOffset()’. After making (and mostly correcting) the usual number of mistakes, I got it going reasonably well, as shown in the following short videos:
Here is the complete code for my wall capture/track test program:
