A lot of studies have been conducted and published on how to control the wheeled mobile robot to reach the desired target smoothly and many simulation results have been presented. However, very few of the control theorems have been applied on a real mobile robot platform to test the feasibility. This paper focuses on the experimental validation by applying the kinematic model and the control law suggested by Siegwart et al [6] on a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot. The omni-directional camera mounted on ceiling is used to capture the initial position of robot and monitor the trajectory. Our experiment results proved with the proposed control law, the mobile robot can reach the final goal and stop.

This article highlights a robust adaptive tracking backstepping control approach for a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) by which the bad problems of both unknown slippage and uncertainties are dealt with. The radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) in this proposed controller assists unknown smooth nonlinear dynamic functions to be approximated. Furthermore, a technical solution is also carried out to avoid actuator saturation. The validity and efficiency of this novel controller, finally, are illustrated via comparative simulation results.

In this paper, we present two robust trajectory-tracking controllers for a differentially driven two-wheeled mobile robot using its kinematic and dynamic model in the presence of slip. The structure of the differential flatness-based controller, which is an integrated framework for planning and control, is extended in this paper to account for slip disturbances by adding a corrective control term. Simulation results for both kinematic and dynamic controllers are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the robust controllers. Experiments with the kinematic controller were conducted to validate the performance of the robust controller. The simulation and experimental results show that the robust controllers are very effective in the presence of slip.

This paper investigates the stabilization and trajectory tracking problem of wheeled mobile robot with a ceiling-mounted camera in complex environment. First, an adaptive visual servoing controller is proposed based on the uncalibrated kinematic model due to the complex operation environment. Then, an adaptive controller is derived to provide a solution of uncertain dynamic control for a wheeled mobile robot subject to parametric uncertainties. Furthermore, the proposed controllers can be applied to a more general situation where the parallelism requirement between the image plane and operation plane is no more needed. The overparameterization of regressor matrices is avoided by exploring the structure of the camera-robot system, and thus, the computational complexity of the controller can be simplified. The Lyapunov method is employed to testify the stability of a closed-loop system. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the suggested control.

In order to realize accurate flight control system design and simulation, an integrated scheme of aircraft model which consists of flight dynamics, fly-by-wire (FBW) platform and flight environment is proposed. Flight environment includes gravity, wind, and atmosphere. And the actuator and sensors such as gyroscope and accelerometer models are considered in the FBW platform. All parts of the integrated model are closely connected and interacted with each other. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the integrated aircraft model and also indicate that the (Flight Control Law) FCL must be designed with robustness to sensor noise and time delays with the FBW platform in addition to the required robustness to model uncertainty in flight dynamics.

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.

In this paper, the trajectory tracking problem is investigated for a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. In this strategy, combining the kinematic model with the dynamic model, the actuator voltage is employed as the control input, and the uncertainties are approximated by a fuzzy logic system. An auxiliary velocity controller is integrated with an adaptive fuzzy integral terminal sliding mode controller, and a robust controller is employed to compensate for the lumped errors. It is proved that all the signals in the closed system are bounded and the auxiliary velocity tracking errors can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. As a result, the tracking position errors converge asymptotically to zeros with faster response than other existing controllers. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

SUMMARYThis paper presents an adaptive trajectory tracking controller for a non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in the presence of parametric uncertainty in the kinematic and dynamic models of the WMR and actuator dynamics. The adaptive non-linear control law is designed based on input–output feedback linearization technique to get asymptotically exact cancellation for the uncertainty in the given system parameters. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller, a non-adaptive controller is compared with the adaptive controller via computer simulation results. The results show satisfactory trajectory tracking performance by virtue of SPR-Lyapunov design approach. In order to verify the simulation results, a set of experiments have been carried out on a commercial mobile robot. The experimental results also show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
