Passivity-based control of an omnidirectional mobile robot

Passivity-based control of an omnidirectional mobile robot

This paper studies passivity-based trajectory tracking control of an omnidirectional mobile robot. The proposed control design is simple to be implemented in practice, because of an effective exploitation of the structure of robot dynamics. First, the passivity property of the prototype robot is analyzed. Then the control system is designed based on the energy shaping plus damping approach. We ...

Path Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...

Motion control of an omnidirectional mobile robot

This paper focuses on the motion control problem of an omnidirectional mobile robot. A new control method based on the inverse input-output linearized kinematic model is proposed. As the actuator saturation and actuator dynamics have important impacts on the robot performance, this control law takes into account these two aspects and guarantees the stability of the closed-loop control system. R...

Motion control of an omnidirectional mobile robot

Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

This paper focuses on motion control problems of an omnidirectional robot based on the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) method. Although NMPC has been studied in many mobile robots applications due to the advantages of taking the robot constraints into account and increasing the robot performance with future information, the high computational requirement makes NMPC difficult to be uti...
