Simulation of DC motor for 3-Wheel Omni Drive using MATLAB Simulink
Authors
Abstract
This paper presents a simulation of a DC motor for a 3-wheel Omni drive using MATLAB
Simulink. The Omni drive system is a mechanism that allows for omnidirectional movement by
independently controlling the speed and direction of three wheels arranged in a triangular
configuration. The simulation aims to model the behaviour of the DC motor under different
operating conditions, including variations in speed, torque, and control inputs. By accurately
representing the motor dynamics, this simulation enables engineers and researchers to study the
performance of the Omni drive system and optimize its control algorithms. The simulation results
provide insights into the motor’s response, power consumption, and efficiency, which are crucial
for designing and fine-tuning of the overall Omni drive system. Additionally, the simulation
facilitates the evaluation of different control strategies for achieving precise and agile movement in
various applications such as robotic platforms and autonomous vehicles. The proposed simulation
framework serves as a valuable tool for further development and analysis of Omni drive systems,
ultimately leading to advancements in mobile robotics and automation technologies.
