Application of a Chaotic Oscillator in an Autonomous Mobile Robot

Abstract

Terrain exploration robots can be of great usefulness in critical navigation circumstances. However, the challenge is how to guarantee a control for covering a full terrain area. That way, the application of a chaotic oscillator to control the wheels of an autonomous mobile robot, is introduced herein. Basically, we describe the realization of a random number generator (RNG) based on a double-scroll chaotic oscillator, which is used to guide the robot to cover a full terrain area. The resolution of the terrain exploration area is determined by both the number of bits provided by the RNG and the characteristics of step motors. Finally, the experimental results highlight the covered area by painting the trajectories that the robot explores.

Brain-wide mapping of neural activity controlling zebrafish exploratory locomotion

“…Because correlated directional locomotion results in a unique spatial pattern over time, we posited that it may reflect a baseline foraging strategy when external guiding cues are scarce. This idea is supported by engineering literature wherein chaotic oscillators driving autonomous agents ( Tlelo-Cuautle and Ramos-López, 2014 ; Mobus and Fisher, 1999 ) produce winding trajectories that efficiently and evenly cover a space, without diffusing into faraway regions. Although the ARTR is probably not a chaotic oscillator, it does exhibit stochastic transitions between states.…”

Complex dynamical behaviors of a novel exponential hyper–chaotic system and its application in fast synchronization and color image encryption

“…Here, we used both the System (6) and System (8) for the synchronization. Figure 14 display the amazing hyper-chaotic attractors of the master (6) and slave (8) systems with initial conditions and parameters (7) and (9). According to Assumption 2, disturbances have been applied to the slave system (8).…”

“…Chaotic programs and methods of analysis were developed over the years. Given that chaotic systems are unpredictable, this key feature can be used in many fields such as: image encryption, 5 , 6 robotic, 7 biological networks, 8 neuroscience, 9 secure communication 10 and information processing. 11 The research on chaotic systems has achieved considerable progress.…”

Finite-time synchronization of a new five-dimensional hyper-chaotic system via terminal sliding mode control

“…Chaos programs are now highly developed. Due to the unpredictability of these systems, they can be used in many applications, including: nonlinear anti-synchronization [6], chaos-based control [7], encryption [8], robotic [9], biological networks [10], secure communication [11] and neuroscience [12]. Many 3-D nonlinear systems were designed, among them the Chen [13], Lu [14] and Qi [15] systems, which are generic.…”
