As nonholonomic dynamic systems have constraints imposed on motions that are not integrable, i.e., the constraints cannot be written as time derivatives of some functions of generalized coordinates, advanced techniques are needed for their control. In this paper, a sliding mode tracking control for nonholonomic dynamic systems is proposed. By introducing a general scheme of coordinate transformation, the state of nonholonomic systems is mapped into a bounded space and a robust controller for dynamic models of nonholonomic systems with input disturbances is designed using sliding mode control scheme. Simulation results of tacking control for a nonholonomic mobile robot with two actuated wheels are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

This paper proposes an autonomous navigation method for a nonholonomic mobile robot, based on the generalized Voronoi diagram (GVD). We define the look-ahead point for a given motion constraint to determine the direction of motion, which solves the problem of a minimum turning radius for the real nonholonomic mobile robot. This method can be used to direct the robot to explore an unknown environment and construct smooth feedback curves for the nonholonomic robot. As the trajectories can be smoothed, the position of the robot can be stabilized in the plane. The simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed methods for the nonholonomic mobile robot. Furthermore, this approach is worth drawing on the experience of any other mobile robots.

A robust tracking control for nonholonomic dynamic systems is proposed in this paper. Since nonholonomic dynamic systems have constraints imposed on motions that are not integrable, i.e., the constraints cannot be written as time derivatives of some functions of generalized coordinates, advanced techniques are needed for their control. It is shown that if the state of nonholonomic systems is mapped into a bounded space by a coordinate transformation, a robust controller for dynamic models of nonholonomic systems with input disturbances can be designed using sliding mode control. Stability and robustness of the proposed controller are proved in the Lyapunov sense. Numerical simulations on the trajectory tracking of a two-wheeled mobile robot are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

This paper addresses dynamic modeling and task-space trajectory following issues for nonholonomic mobile manipulators moving on a slope. An integrated dynamic modeling method is proposed considering nonholonomic constraints and interactive motions. An adaptive neural-fuzzy controller is presented for end-effector trajectory following, which does not rely on precise apriori knowledge of dynamic parameters and can suppress bounded external disturbances. Effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulations.

In this study, a method of designing a neurointerface using neural network (NN) is proposed for controlling nonholonomic mobile robots. According to the concept of virtual master-slave robots, in particular, a partially stable inverse dynamic model of the master robot is acquired online through the NN by applying a feedback-error learning method, in which the feedback controller is assumed to be based on a PD compensator for such a nonholonomic robot. A tracking control problem is demonstrated by some simulations for a nonholonomic mobile robot with two-independent driving wheels.

In this paper, we propose a control strategy for a class of nonholonomic systems. A system with nonholonomic constraint is called a nonholonomic system, and as Brockett showed, the equilibrium of such systems can not be stabilized with any continuous static state feedbacks even though the system is controllable in the sense of nonlinear. A control strategy we propose is transforming this system into time-state control form by coordinate transformation and input transformation. We will apply this control strategy to the motion control of a rigid ball that is held between two parallel plates.

모바일 로봇의 경로 계획의 경우 주로 위치로 표현되는 2차원 공간 상에서 현재 위치에서 목표 위치까지 모바일 로봇이 도달하도록 경로를 계획한다. 그러나 nonholonomic 구조를 가지는 모바일 로봇의 경우 기구학적 제약에 의해 추종 불가능한 경로가 존재하게 된다. 또한 nonholonomic 모바일 로봇은 진행 방향을 포함한 3차원 공간 상에서의 경로 계획이 이루어져야 한다. 모바일 로봇의 경로 계획 알고리즘으로는 A* 경로 계획 알고리즘이 주로 사용되는데, A* 경로 계획 알고리즘은 경로 계획 시 현재 위치에서부터 노드를 확장시켜 가며 경로를 탐색한다. 이 때 각 노드로부터 목표 위치까지의 비용을 계산하기 위해 heuristic 함수가 사용된다. 기존의 A* 경로 계획 알고리즘의 경우 Euclidean 거리에 기반한 heuristic 함수가 사용되었으나, 이 경우 모바일 로봇의 진행 방향은 고려하지 않아, 로봇의 목표 위치에 도말만 할 뿐 목표 방향으로의 도달은 보장 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는, A* 경로 계획 알고리즘을 통해 nonholonomic 모바일 로봇이 목표 위치에 목표 방향에 맞추어 도달할 수 있도록 경로 생성이 이루어지는 heuristic 함수를 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 성능을 검증한다.

Homing operation can be defined as a series of actions which are necessary for a mobile robot to move from the current position with any arbitrary orientation to a desired position with a specified orientation, while avoiding possible obstacles. In this paper, a homing and obstacle avoidance algorithm for nonholonomic mobile robots is proposed. The proposed algorithm consists of a local goal generator, a discrete state controller, and local path tracking controller based on Aicardi's path following algorithm. In the discrete state controller, 4 states are defined according to the environmental conditions and 4 desired high-level command for the states are given as follows: avoid, wander, home and homing zones. The proposed local goal generator is designed to generate the desired local path by using weighted distance transforms which are newly made to satisfy the nonholonomic constraints of mobile robots. Here, subgoals are also found as vertices of the desired local path. To demonstrate result effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm, computer simulations are illustrated and experimental results for a real mobile robot system are also provided.

This paper proposes a robust adaptive fuzzy backstepping control scheme for trajectory tracking of an electrically driven nonholonomic mobile robot with uncertainties and actuator dynamics. A complete model of an electrically driven nonholonomic mobile robot described in this work includes all models of the uncertain robot kinematics with a nonholonomic constraint, the uncertain robot body dynamics with uncertain frictions and unmodeled disturbances, and the uncertain actuator dynamics with disturbances. The proposed control scheme uses the backstepping control approach through a kinematic controller and a robust adaptive fuzzy velocity tracking controller. The presented control scheme has a voltage control input with an auxiliary current control input rather than a torque control input. It has two FBFNs(Fuzzy Basis Function Networks) to approximate two unknown nonlinear robot dynamic functions and a robust adaptive control input with the proposed adaptive laws to overcome the uncertainties such as parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control scheme does not a priori require the accurate knowledge of all parameters in the robot kinematics, robot dynamics and actuator dynamics. It can also alleviate the chattering of the control input. Using the Lyapunov stability theory, the stability of the closed-loop robot control system is guaranteed. Simulation results show the validity and robustness of the proposed control scheme.
