In this paper, the dynamics and control aspects of longitudinal motion of pendulum-driven spherical robots are investigated. A simplified dynamic model is established for a spherical robot, which is an underactuated mechanical system. Based on this dynamic model, a hierarchical sliding mode controller is proposed. The stability of the whole system is verified through Lyapunov analysis, and the asymptotic stability of the sub-sliding surfaces is proved with mathematical techniques. The validity of the proposed controller is illustrated through a simulation study.

As the four-wheel steering (4WS) system has great potentials, many researchers' attention was attracted to this technique and active research was made. As a result, passenger cars equipped with 4WS systems were put on the market a few years ago. This report tries to identify the essential elements of the 4WS technology in terms of vehicle dynamics and control techniques. Based on the findings of this investigation, the report gives a mechanism of electronically controlling the steering system depending on the variable pressure applied on it. This enhances the controlling and smoothens the operation of steering mechanism.
