Abstract

A detailed literature analysis depicts that artificial neural networks are rarely used for the power consumption estimation in the mobile robotics field. Instead, researchers prefer to develop analytical models of investigated robots. This manuscript presents a comparison of mathematical models and non-complex artificial neural networks in energy prediction tasks for differential and skid-steer drive robots which move over various types of surfaces. The results show that both methods could be used interchangeably but AI methods are more universal, do not depend on the kinematic structure of a robot and are tolerant for designers not having a complex knowledge about the system.
Keywords: differential drive mobile robot; skid-steer drive mobile robot; energy prediction algorithms; artificial neural networks differential drive mobile robot; skid-steer drive mobile robot; energy prediction algorithms; artificial neural networks
