Feasible utilization of the inherent characteristics of holonomic mobile robots

This paper presents a computationally inexpensive generic method to utilize the maximum velocity and acceleration of an omnidirectional mobile robot. The proposed method is based on the inverse kinematic and inverse dynamic models by defining novel velocity and acceleration reserve multipliers respectively. The defined multipliers enable a computationally inexpensive solution and give representative index numbers, showing the amount of utilized resources during online computation. The model was applied to control a kiwi drive mobile robot and validated by experimental measurements. An open-source Robot Operating System (ROS) catkin C++ package was published to enable the feasible implementation of the results.
