Abstract Multi-joint snake robot is a vital reconnaissance, surveillance and attack weapon in national defence and military in the future. To study the trajectory tracking problem of a multi-joint snake robot with high redundancy and multi-degree of freedom in the plane, an adaptive trajectory tracking controller of a multi-joint snake robot considering non-holonomic constraints is proposed in this paper. The adaptive trajectory tracking controller replaces unknown parameters in the environment wi t h estimated values, which effectively solves the negative effects caused by uncertain and time-varying environmental parameters in the process of the robot movement and realizes the stability of the controller. Firstly, a new dynamical model of a multi-joint snake robot is established through coordinate transformation. Secondly, the control objective of the controller of the multi-joint snake robot is established. Thirdly, the proposed controller of the multi-joint snake robot is designed by the Backsteppi n g method to realize the control of the joint angle tracking error, link angle tracking error, actuator torque error and motion speed error of the robot. Then, a suitable Lyapunov function is found to verify the stability of the controller. Finally, through the MATLAB simulation and prototype experiment, the motion process of the multi-joint snake robot is observed, the trajectory tracking performance of the robot is analyzed, and the effectiveness of the adaptive trajectory tracking controller is verified.

The Stability

A robust trajectory tracking control scheme for quadrotor unmanned aircraft vehicles under uncertainties is proposed herein. A tracking controller combined with the sliding mode and integral backstepping is performed for position and attitude tracking. The stability of the trajectory tracking controller of the quadrotor is investigated via Lyapunov stability analysis. By incorporating force and torque disturbances into numerical simulations, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed quadrotor trajectory controller. Finally, the experiments validate the feasibility of the proposed controller.

Trajectory Tracking Controller

Purpose Trajectory tracking is a common problem in the field of mobile robots which has attracted a lot of attention in the past two decades. Therefore, besides the search for new controllers to achieve a better performance, improvement and optimization of existing control rules are necessary. Trajectory tracking control laws usually contain constant gains which affect greatly the robot’s performance. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, a method based on neural networks is introduced to automatically upgrade the gains of a well-known trajectory tracking controller of wheeled mobile robots. The suggested method speeds up the convergence rate of the main controller. Findings Simulations and experiments are performed to assess the ability of the suggested scheme. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Originality/value In this paper, a method based on neural networks is introduced to automatically upgrade the gains of a well-known trajectory tracking controller of wheeled mobile robots. The suggested method speeds up the convergence rate of the main controller.
