Abstract(s)
Este trabalho consiste no desenvolvimento de uma base de carregamento inteligente para robôs m´oveis e autónomos. Foi integrado num estágio curricular na empresa Follow Inspiration. O resultado do trabalho foi integrado com sucesso na plataforma WiiGo, que consiste num carrinho de compras autónomo, que foi projetado para seguir pessoas com ou sem mobilidade reduzida em superfícies comerciais, ajudando-as assim a transportar facilmente as suas compras. Uma das grandes preocupações a nível de robôs m´oveis e autónomos é que estes tenham a maior autonomia possível e que o carregamento das suas baterias seja o mais rápido possível, sem degradar o tempo de vida útil das mesmas.
Atualmente o robô ´e colocado a carregar de forma manual, o que leva à necessidade de haver sempre um operador especializado que faça este processo.
Com a implementação desta Estacão de Carregamento, será possível programar o robô de forma a este se deslocar autonomamente para o seu posto de carregamento.
O carregador aqui desenvolvido e documentado, permite que o robô seja carregado o mais rápido possível, sempre tomando em consideração aumentar ao máximo o tempo de vida útil da bateria. Foi também desenvolvido todo o hardware e software necessário para a monitorização do carregamento da bateria do robô, esta informação será fornecida ao utilizador do robô através de uma User Interface. Neste documento está documentado todo o hardware utilizado, assim como o software desenvolvido para o bom funcionamento do mesmo. Deste projeto resultou numa base de carregamento totalmente funcional e testada em ambiente real.
This work consists of the development of a smart charging base for mobile and autonomous robots. It was integrated into a internship at Follow Inspiration. The result of the work was successfully integrated into the WiiGo platform, which consists of a robotic shopping cart, designed to track people with or without reduced mobility on commercial surfaces, helping them to easily transport their purchases. One of the biggest concerns for mobile and autonomous robots is that they have as much autonomy as possible and that the charging of their batteries is as fast as possible without degrading their useful life. Currently the robot is loaded manually, which leads to the need to always have a specialized operator to do this process. With the implementation of this Smart Charging Base, it will be possible to program the robot so that it moves autonomously to its autonomous charging station. The charger developed and documented here, allows the robot to be charged as fast as possible, always taking into account maximizing the battery life. All hardware and software necessary for monitoring the battery charge of the robot have been developed, this information will be provided to the user of the robot through a textit User Interface. This document documents all the hardware used as well as the software developed for the proper functioning of this project. This project resulted in a fully functional and tested charging base in real environment.
