At today, smart, and cheap mechatronic devices together with open-source software allow to design and prototype new and effective systems or at least to apply existing platforms to new fields. In this work, starting from the evaluation of the stability of autonomous robotic platforms, a smart and effective real-time anti-overturning mechatronic device for robotic systems operating on side slopes has been developed. It allows to recognize both the orientation and possible critical positions of an autonomous robotic platform, in particular articulated, and to alert the user or stop the motion in case of incipient rollover. The developed platform can be adopted as a cost-effective solution and an effective safety device.

Abstract
At today, smart, and cheap mechatronic devices together with open-source software allow to design and prototype new and effective systems or at least to apply existing platforms to new fields. In this work, starting from the evaluation of the stability of autonomous robotic platforms, a smart and effective real-time anti-overturning mechatronic device for robotic systems operating on side slopes has been developed. It allows to recognize both the orientation and possible critical positions of an autonomous robotic platform, in particular articulated, and to alert the user or stop the motion in case of incipient rollover. The developed platform can be adopted as a cost-effective solution and an effective safety device.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
