Today, many industries have started using
wheeled robots to transport raw materials because of their
mobility. Usually, the robot's movement is only from one place
to another and repeatedly occurs in the same place. A waypoint
is a control point where the robot must move towards a
predetermined destination. Industry highly considers
Efficiency and Productivity to reduce losses and increase
profits. Therefore, the robot's movement also needs to be
improved to increase the production line's productivity. In the
current work, a control strategy was developed to make the
robot move linearly and angularly simultaneously to reduce
travel time compared to the usual movement method.
Furthermore, this control strategy is simulated and
implemented on the Omni Mobile Robot with Mecanum Wheel
(OMRMW) prototype. The results indicate that the proposed
control strategy can shorten the robot movement time by up to
10.797 seconds.
