Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  5. Gyro principal • Gyro is a type of inertial sensor • Based on conservation of momentum. • Gyro measures rotation • Measure angular velocity • Radians/sec • Integrating the velocity is possible obtain the angular position http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gyroscope_operation.gif ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  6. Gyroscopes • Non-sensitive to magnetic disturbances. It can be used in environment where the magnetic field is not available • Mechanical gyroscopes • Based on conservation of momentum • Measure the changes in linear- or angular momentum • Optical gyroscopes • No moving parts (gravitation doesn’t affect) ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  7. Mechanical Gyroscopes • Based on conservation of momentum • Continuous angular movement • Mm. flywheel gyroscope • Oscillatory angular momentum • Employ a torsionally suspended mass oscillating back and forth at its natural frequency • Continuous linear momentum • Steady stream of fluid, plasma or electrons, which tend to maintain its established velocity • Oscillatory linear momentum • a set of discrete masses moving back and forth along a straight-line path ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  8. Mechanical Flywheel Gyroscope • A rapidly spinning wheel or sphere with big inertia causes a gyroscopic precision, when turned • Rotor is rotated with electrical motor • Rotor on supported by low-friction bearings and in a gimbal • Both axis of the gimbal are perpendicular to the rotating axis ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  9. Optical Gyroscopes • Most promising sensors in the mobile robotics in near future. • Two laser beams are rotating opposite directions in a closed loop • When the beams are combined the rotation rate and direction can be calculated from the interference fringes • Five basic principles: • Active optical resonator • Passive optical resonator • Open loop fibre optic interferometer (anal.) • Closed loop fibre optic interferometer (digit.) • Fibre optic resonator ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  10. Active Ring-laser Gyro • Active optical resonator • Resonator is a laser itself • (active) • If gyro is rotated counter clock wise direction, the counter-clock wise beam is travelling slightly longer than the opposite beam • The change in the path length is proportional to the rotation rate • In very small rotation rates • there is a dead-band because of frequency lock-in http://automation.tkk.fi/attach/AS-84-3145/Gyros.pdf ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  11. Gyroscopes • There are two basic classes of rotation sensing gyros: • Rate gyros • The output is relative to the angular speed • Rate integrating gyros • Indicate the actual turn angle or heading • The angle is relative (must have a initially referenced to a known orientation.

  12. Types of Gyroscopes • Based on coriolis force • Vibrating wheel • Two axis, excitation around axis of symmetry • Vibrating bar gyro • Tuning fork gyro • Analog Devices • Signal conditioning http://metrology.hut.fi/courses/S-108.4010/2007/Spring_2007_MEMS_JKa.pdf ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  13. Gyro Performance • Classification according to bias drift • Rate grade 10 – 10000 deg/h • Tactical grade 0,01 – 10 deg/h • Navigation grade <0,01 deg/h • Mechanical, optical (fog, laser ring), MEMS (tuning fork, vibrating ring) • Dynamic area: few Hz – 500Hz ECE5320 Mechatronics.

  14. Gyro Parameters • These parameters are not easy to calibrate • Drift (see previous slide) [deg/h] • Max angular speed [deg/s] • Dynamic resolution [Hz] http://blogs.smh.com.au/radar/robot.jpg ECE5320 Mechatronics. Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuators

  15.

  20. Final Remarks • All mechanical Gyros (mems also) can be affected by external noise like vibrations and magnetic field • The best bandwidth up to 400Hz is available with optical gyros (ring laser) with mechanical ones typically < 10-20Hz • MEMS and FOGs are the most used in robotics.
