In the present work the problem of exponential stabilization of the kinematic and dynamic model of a simple wheeled mobile robot is addressed and solved using a discontinuous, bounded, time invariant, state feedback control law. The properties of the closed-loop system are studied in detail and its performance in presence of model errors and noisy measurements are evaluated and discussed.

Motion control involving DC motors requires a closed-loop system with a suitable compensator if tracking performance with high precision is desired. In the case where structural model errors of the motors are more dominating than the effects from noise disturbances, accurate system modelling will be a considerable aid in synthesizing the compensator. The focus of this paper is on enhancing the tracking performance of a wheeled mobile robot (WMR), which is driven by two DC motors that are subject to model parametric uncertainties and uncertain deadzones. For the system at hand, the uncertain nonlinear perturbations are greatly induced by the time-varying power supply, followed by behaviour of motion and speed. In this work, the system is firstly modelled, where correlations between the model parameters and different input datasets as well as voltage supply are obtained via polynomial regressions. A robust H ∞ -fuzzy logic approach is then proposed to treat the issues due to the aforementioned perturbations. Via the proposed strategy, the H ∞ controller and the fuzzy logic (FL) compensator work in tandem to ensure the control law is robust against the model uncertainties. The proposed technique was validated via several real-time experiments, which showed that the speed and path tracking performance can be considerably enhanced when compared with the results via the H ∞ controller alone, and the H ∞ with the FL compensator, but without the presence of the robust control law.

This paper proposes an optimal time-varying linear state feedback control for wheeled mobile robot of the unicycle type. The control law that stabilizes exponentially the motion of the robot to a given desired trajectory is found, after transformation of the cinematic model of the robot into a well-known Brocket integrator [1]. Numerical simulations are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control design.

In this paper, following the state-feedback stabilization for time-varying systems proposed by Wolovich, a controller is designed for the overhead cranes with a linearized parameter-varying model. The resulting closed-loop system is equivalent, via a Lyapunov transformation, to a stable time-invariant system of assigned eigenvalues. The simulation results show the validity of this method.

A digital state feedback control algorithm has been developed to obtain the near-minimum-time trajectory for the end-effector of a robot manipulator. In this algorithm, the poles of the linearized closed loop system are judiciously placed in the Z-plane to permit near-minimum-time response without violating the constraints on the actuator torques. The validity of this algorithm has been established using numerical simulations. A three-link manipulator is chosen for this purpose and the results are discussed for three different combinations of initial and final states.

Abstract This note addresses the stabilization problem of nonlinear chained-form systems with input time delay. We first employ the so-called σ-process transformation that renders the feedback system under a linear form. We introduce a particular transformation to convert the original system into a delay-free system. Finally, we apply a state feedback control, which guarantees a quasi-exponential stabilization to all the system states, which in turn converge exponentially to zero. Then we employ the so-called -type control to achieve a quasi-exponential stabilization of the subsequent system. A simulation example illustrated on the model of a wheeled mobile robot is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

[abstFig src='/00290003/14.jpg' width='300' text='Amphibian vehicle maneuvering simulator' ] This study proposes a maneuvering support system for an amphibian vehicle by applying a nonlinear state feedback control law for vehicle trajectory control. We consider that the vehicle should not drift sideways for good driving performance. To derive a nonlinear state feedback control law, we have defined ‘Maneuvering Trajectory’ as an additional reference trajectory that is generated by the driver’s maneuver. We have constructed a Lyapunov-like function for the trajectory control system. In this paper, we construct a vehicle-maneuvering simulator and set a clockwise circular reference trajectory. The efficiency of the proposed maneuvering support system is shown in the maneuvering simulations. We consider the case where the propulsive forces of the vehicle have limited influence on maneuverability. A new warning display system is proposed so that the driver can recognize if his or her maneuver is not suitable. Then, we examine the feasibility of the proposed warning display system through several simulations.
