In this paper, we propose a trajectory tracking controller for a two-wheeled mobile robot (WMR) with nonholonomic constraints using a fuzzy sliding-mode controller-based hyperbolic function. The proposed controller is composed of two separate controllers. The sliding-mode controller is used for attitude control of the WMR, and the fuzzy controller-based hyperbolic function is designed to adjust the reach time of the sliding-mode control. Simulation results on a linear and a circular trajectory show that the proposed controller improves the control performance. The proposed controller reduces the reach time by as much as 47% compared to the controller proposed by Xie et al.

This paper proposes an adaptive control algorithm for nonholonomic mobile robots with unknown parameters and the proposed control method is used in numerical simulations for applying to a practical twowheeled welding mobile robot(WMR). The proposed adaptive controller to track an arbitrary given welding path is designed by using back-stepping technique and is derived for a nonlinear model under the assumption such that the system parameters are partially known. Moreover, the proposed adaptive control system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov stability. Inertia moments of system are considered to be unknown parameters and their values can be estimated simply by using update laws proposed in an adaptive control scheme of this research. The simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the accurate tracking capability of the proposed controller for two-wheeled welding mobile robot with a smooth curved reference welding path.

In this paper, a nonlinear controller based on adaptive sliding-mode method which has a sliding surface vector including new boundizing function is proposed and applied to a two-wheeled welding mobile robot (WMR). This controller makes the welding point of WMR achieve tracking a reference point which is moving on a smooth curved welding path with a desired constant velocity. The mobile robot is considered in view of a kinematic model and a dynamic model in Cartesian coordinates. The proposed controller can overcome uncertainties and external disturbances by adaptive sliding-mode technique. To design the controller, the tracking error vector is defined, and then the sliding surface vector including new boundizing function and the adaptation laws are chosen to guarantee that the error vector converges to zero asymptotically. The stability of the dynamic system is shown through the Lyapunov method. In addition, a simple way of measuring the errors by potentiometers is introduced. The simulations and experimental results are shown to prove the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

The previous kinematic analysis of wheeled mobile robots(WMRs) is performed in an ad-hoc manner, while those of the robot manipulators are done in a consistent way using the coordinate system assignment and the homogeneous transformation matrix. This paper shows why the method for the robot manipulators cannot be used directly to the WMRs and proposes the method for the WMRs, which contains modeling the wheel with the Sheth-Uicker notation and the homogeneous transformation. The proposed method enable us to model the velocity kinematics of the WMRs in a consistent way. As an implementation of the proposed method, the Jacobian matrices were obtained for conventional steered wheel and non-steered wheel respectively and the forward and inverse velocity kinematic solutions were calculated fur a tricycle typed WMR. We hope that our proposed method comes to hold an equivalent roles for WMRs, as that of the manipulators does for the robot manipulators.

In this paper, we present a finite-time sliding mode control (FSMC) with an integral finite-time sliding surface for applying the concept of graph theory to a distributed wheeled mobile robot (WMR) system. The kinematic and dynamic property of the WMR system are considered simultaneously to design a finite-time sliding mode controller. Next, consensus and formation control laws for distributed WMR systems are derived by using the graph theory. The kinematic and dynamic controllers are applied simultaneously to compensate the dynamic effect of the WMR system. Compared to the conventional sliding mode control (SMC), fast convergence is assured and the finite-time performance index is derived using extended Lyapunov function with adaptive law to describe the uncertainty. Numerical simulation results of formation control for WMR systems shows the efficacy of the proposed controller.

This paper presents WMR modelling and path tracking algorithm using Inertial Navigation System. The error models of gyroscope and accelerometers in INS are derived by Gauss-Newton method which is nonlinear regression model. Then, to test availability of error model, we pursue the fitness diagnosis about probability characteristic for real data and estimated data. Performance of inertial sensor with error model and Kalman filter is pursued by comparing with one without them. The computer simulation shows that position error remarkably decrease when error compensation is applied.

This paper proposed a kinematic modeling methodlogy and feedback control system based on kinematics for 2 degrees of freedom of 4-wheeled mobile robot. We assigned coordinate systems to specify the transformation matirx and write the kinematic equation of motion. We derived the actuated inverse and sensed forwared solution for the calculation of actual robot orientation and the desired robot orientation. It is the most significant error and has the largest impact on the motion accuracy. To calculate the WMR position in real time, we introduced the dead-reckoning algorithm and composed two feedback control system that is based on kinematics. Through the simulation result, we compare with the ffedback control system for position control.

A robust control intended for a nonholonomic mobile robot is considered to guarantee good tracking a desired trajectory. The main drawbacks of the mobile robot model are the existence of nonholonomic constraints, uncertain system parameters and un-modeled dynamics. in order to overcome these drawbacks, we propose a robust control based on Lyapunov theory associated with sliding-mode control, this solution shows good robustness with respect to parameter variations, measurement errors, noise and guarantees position and velocity tracking. The global asymptotic stability of the overall system is proven theoretically. The simulation results largely confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control.

This paper proposed a model algorithm control (MAC) method for trajectory tracking control of the differentially steeredwheeled mobile robots (WMRs) subject to nonholonomic constraint. The dynamic model of the wheeled mobile robot is presented and used as the model to be controlled. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is verified via computer simulations in which the WMR is controlled to track several different reference paths. It is shown that the control strategy is feasible.

본 논문에서 4-구륜 2-자유도 이동 로보트의 체계적인 동적 모델링과 경로설계 및 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실시간에서 이동 로보트의 위치 측정을 위해 관성측정장치중의 3가지 요소를 이용한다. 이러한 장치들은 지구의 회전속도 및 중력가속도 등의 여러 요인으로 인해 초기 오차를 가진다. 그래서 초기오차 모델을 유도하고, 실제 데이터와 유도된 모델의 추정 데이터의 확률적 특성을 분석 ${\cdot}$ 비교하여 적합도를 판정하여 사용한다. 관성측정장치의 동작특성은 오차모델과 칼만 필터와 연계된 경우와 배제된 일반적인 경우와 비교한다. 모의실험 결과들은 제안된 경로설계 및 추적 알고리즘이 기존의 방식과 비교하여 보다 유용함을 입증한다.
