Artificial intelligence researchers have produced many computational theories of cognitive mapping. However, few of their ideas have been adapted to mobile robots. This paper outlines a new computational theory of cognitive mapping and then describes an attempt to implement the main properties of the theory on an actual mobile robot. Naturally, the theory needs to be modified to accommodate the...

This article focuses on the modeling of two-wheel mobile robot with differential chassis, which is moving in the plane. According to the application, it can be modeled with different accuracy levels depending on structural limits and other physical impacts. Main goal of this article is to include the effects of friction into the mobile robot dynamics. Four basic models of friction are combined ...

This paper presents parameter identification and discrete-time adaptive slidingmode controller applied to control the mobile platform Pioneer 3-DX wheeled mobile robot (WMR) with 5-DOF manipulator. The dynamic model for mobile robot with two driving wheels, time–varying mass and moment of inertia have been used in sliding-mode control. Two closed-loop, on-line parameter estimators have been use...

This paper addresses the dynamic path planning for two mobile robots in unknownenvironment with obstacle avoidance and moving target tracking. These robots must form atriangle with moving target. The algorithm is composed of two parts. The first part of thealgorithm used for formation planning of the robots and a moving target. It generates thedesired position for the robots for the next step. ...

This paper is devoted to design and implement a non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot that possesses dynamic object-tracking capability by using real-time image processing. Two motion control laws are proposed using Lyapunov’s direct method and computed-torque method. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the developed schemes. The overall experimental setup of the mobile robot develo...

Autonomous navigation of mobile robots in an unknown cluttered environment is quite difficult task in the recent years. Many researchers have been developed several efficient methodologies in the navigation of mobile robot. The main objective of the mobile robot is to determine an optimal path for navigation, that means the robot should be navigate safely from the source to the pre-defined dest...
