摘要:

移动机器人常需执行长时间任务,包括搜索救援、哨兵、维修、监视和娱乐。当前电源技术限制了机器人在许多任务中的行走和攀爬能力。内燃机噪音大且排放有毒废气,而可充电电池能量密度低且自放电率高。理论上,燃料电池没有这些限制。特别是质子交换膜(PEM)可提供极高的能量密度,清洁且安静。然而,PEM燃料电池因性能退化而不可靠。这可通过在燃料电池电池混合配置中保护燃料电池来缓解,使用过滤电子设备确保燃料电池远离电气噪声,并通过电池隔离它免受电压尖峰影响。针对HOAP 2仿人机器人展示了模拟结果,表明燃料电池混合电源优于传统电池。

英文摘要:

Mobile robots are often needed for long duration missions. These include search and rescue, sentry, repair, surveillance and entertainment. Current power supply technology limit walking and climbing robots from many such missions. Internal combustion engines have high noise and emit toxic exhaust while rechargeable batteries have low energy densities and high rates of self-discharge. In theory, fuel cells do not have such limitations. In particular Proton Exchange Membrane (PEMs) can provide very high energy densities, are clean and quiet. However, PEM fuel cells are found to be unreliable due to performance degradation. This can be mitigated by protecting the fuel cell in a fuel-cell battery hybrid configuration using filtering electronics that ensure the fuel cell is isolated from electrical noise and a battery to isolate it from power surges. Simulation results are presented for a HOAP 2 humanoid robot that suggests a fuel cell powered hybrid power supply superior to conventional batteries.
