The control problem for wheeled systems similar to a mobile robot, a vehicle, a wheeled tractor, etc. is studied. These systems belong to the class of nonholonomic mechanical systems. Analysis in this paper is limited to kinematic models, and the dynamics of control drives is taken into account. Control that stabilizes the motion of a wheeled system along a given trajectory (planar smooth curve...

Autonomous wheeled skid-steering mobile robot off-road trajectory tracking is focused on. According to the kinematics and dynamics analysis of the robot, a constraint of the robot motion is put forward. As uncertain disturbance factors exist during the robot off-road running, a novel fuzzy lateral control law is proposed, which makes the robot motion globally asymptotically stable. According to...

This article presents the development and control of a two‐wheeled mobile robot as the base of a human carrier for an amusement/transportation vehicle. The robot has a combined structure of two systems: a line tracking mobile robot and an inverted pendulum system that maintains balance while following a line on the floor. The mobile robot is purposely designed to carry a huma...

In this paper, different techniques/methodologies/strategies that are used in the field of mobile robot navigation have been reviewed forunknown environment is an important task for the new generation of several mobile robots. We consider the wheeled mobile robotsfor Path Planning, an autonomous robot and an obstacle and collision avoidance to be used in sensor based robots. We propose that dri...

In this paper, we present an experimental approach to compare various trajectory planning methods for practical application of wheeled mobile robots. The first method generates a trajectory according to the acceleration limits of the mobile robot and its relationship with the curvature of the planned path. The second method is an improvement of the conventional convolution-based trajectory gene...
