This paper reviews evolutionary approaches to the automatic design of real robots exhibiting a given behavior in a given environment. Such a methodology has been successfully applied to various wheeled or legged robots, and to numerous behaviors including wall-following, obstacle-avoidance, light-seeking, or arena cleaning. Its potentialities and limitations are discussed in the text and direct...

This paper presents a time invariant kinematic motion controller for wheeled mobile robots. Actuator capability, mechanical design, and traction forces governed by terrain features provide velocity and curvature limitations that are used in the design of the controller. A novel path manifold that considers curvature limitations is introduced to provide a desired path shape and convergence to th...

In the agricultural industry, an evolutionary effort has been made over last two decades to achieve precise autonomous systems perform typical in-field tasks, including harvesting, mowing, and spraying. One of main objectives system in agriculture is improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact cost. Due nature these operations, complete coverage path planning (CCPP) approaches play e...

The paper deals with the modeling and control strategies of the motion of wheeled mobile robots. The model of the vehicle has two driving wheels and the angular velocities of the two wheels are independently controlled. First, the vehicle kinematics model and the control strategies using a feedforward compensator are analyzed. Second, fuzzy reactive control of a mobile robot motion in an unknow...

As the level of human interaction with robotic systems increases, robot mobility becomes more important. Two wheeled robots offer higher levels of mobility and manoeuvrability when compared to their four wheeled counterparts with the ability to turn on the spot and easily negotiate tight corners. Whilst the stabilisation of two wheeled platforms has been well studied, there is no published rese...

In recent years, a significant development of technologies related to the control and communication mobile robots, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, has been noticeable. Developing these requires having necessary hardware software enable prototyping simulation algorithms in laboratory conditions. The article presents Laboratory Intelligent Mobile Robots equipped with latest solutions. equipme...

in this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. for vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. in accordance...
