Car-like robot path following in large unstructured environments

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of on-line path following for a car working in unstructured outdoor environments. The partially known map of the environment is updated and expanded in real time by a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm. This information is used to implement global path planning. A cost graph is initially constructed followed by a search to find the near-optimal path considering uncertainty in both vehicle location and map. Selected points in the global path are connected by continuous-curvature paths. An improved feedback linearization technique is presented to guide the car along the defined path. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the algorithms.

Solving Path Following Problem for Car-Like Robot in the Presence of Sliding Effect via LMI Formulation
One of the main problems of car-like robot is robust path following in the presence of sliding effect. To tackle this problem, a robust mix H2/H∞ static state feedback control method is selected. This method is the well-known linear robust controller which is robust against external disturbance as well as model uncertainty. In this paper, the path following problem is formulated as linear matri...
متن کاملPath following in unknown environment for a car-like mobile robot
The path following is the automatic control of the mobile robot along the specified path without human interference. The proposed path following applies for the robot navigation in unknown environments, where the robot has no preliminary information about obstacles. This paper presents an innovative idea for the path following control that is to integrate the basic path following control with t...
