Abstract

En 中文
Autonomous posture detection and self-localization of roadheaders is the key to automatic tunneling and roadheader robotization. In this paper, a multi-sensor based positioning method, involving an inertial system for altitude angles measurement, total station for coordinate measurement, and sensors for measuring the real-time length of the hydraulic cylinder is presented for roadheader position measurement and posture detection. Based on this method, a positioning model for roadheader and cutter positioning is developed. Additionally, flexible trajectory planning methods are provided for automatic cutting. Based on the positioning model and the trajectory planning methods, an automatic cutting procedure is proposed and applied in practical tunneling. The experimental results verify the high accuracy and efficiency of both the positioning method and the model. Furthermore, it is indicated that arbitrary shapes can be generated automatically and precisely according to the planned trajectory, employing the automatic cutting procedure. Therefore, unmanned tunneling can be realized by employing the proposed automatic cutting process.
