The positioning accuracy of tracked mobile robot is low because of sliding in steering process. Taking the micro-tracked mobile robot as the platform, the interface force between tracks and ground was analyzed, and the motor model, kinematic model and dynamic model were established further. A tracking error controller was built based on the tracking error equations, and the co-simulation of mechanical and control system was applied to predict the robot’s trajectory. That controller was applied on a small tracked mobile robot designed by the authors’ laboratory, and the path tracking experiments with and without obstacles had been done. The results show that the robot can accurately track the given path, whether there are obstacles or not.

The article renders the special features of the design of a tracked mobile robot (MR) for moving over inclined ferromagnetic surfaces while performing specified technological operations. There is conducted a synthesis of the functional structure and selective technological parameters (such as control coordinates) of the computerized monitoring and control system (CMCS) intended for use with this MR. Application of the CMCS with the proposed functional structure allows substantially increasing the accuracy of the MR monitoring and control, which in turn provides for a considerable enhancement in the quality and economic efficiency of the operations on processing of large ferromagnetic surfaces.

By applying a nonholonomic constraints and Lagrange equation for nonholonomic system, a method is given to model and control the 4-wheel skid-steering mobile robot which tracks a given trajectory. First at all, a fundamental of nonholonomic system is introduced. Next, the skid steering robot’s kinematic model and dynamic model are considered. To control the robot tracking a trajectory, a new algorithm is given by applying feedback linearization and PD control. In addition, simulation results show the good performance in tracking trajectories.
