The navigation to these fixed points is a repetitive task that can be automated. The challenge in automating the navigation of vehicles commonly used in mines is the systemic properties of such vehicles. Many mining vehicles, such as the one we have used in the research for this paper, use steering systems with an articulated joint bending the vehicle's drive axis to change its course and a hydraulic drive system to actuate axial drive components or the movements of tippers if available. To address the difficulties of controlling such a vehicle, we present a model-predictive approach for controlling the vehicle. While the control optimisation based on a parallel error minimisation of the predicted state has already been established in the past, we provide insight into the design and implementation of an MPC for an articulated mining vehicle and show the results of real-world experiments in an open-pit mine environment.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KallweitFerreinScholletal.2014, author = {Kallweit, Stephan and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid and Reichert, Walter}, title = {Mobile Autonome Systeme in der Lehre, am Beispiel der ROS Summer School}, series = {Tagungsband AALE 2014 : das Forum f{\"u}r Fachleute der Automatisierungstechnik aus Hochschulen und Wirtschaft ; 11.

As a basic robot platform we deploy a 1/10 RC cart that is wquipped with an Arduino micro-controller to control the servo motors, and an embedded PC that runs ROS. In two weeks, participants get to learn the basics of mobile robotics hands-on.
