Optimizing mobile robot power efficiency -
Optimizing mobile robot power efficiency The basic physical body of the robot should be understood and optimized first. Robot should be as lightweight as possible, unless high mass (for weight or inertia) is needed for a specific reason. Friction between moving parts should be minimized except for the parts that need a certain amount of friction. The components must be energy efficient, such as motors, sensors, microcontrollers. Sensor data should be obtained and processed efficiently, to avoid unnecessary data and processing. For this, data from multiple sensors should be efficiently integrated. Also see “sensor fusion” Some tasks use a lot of power such as image processing, analysis of input data, […] Read More
