In this paper the systematic modeling method of general wheeled mobile robot is proposed. First we show how to describe kinematics properties of wheeled mobile robot in the method formulating constraint equations using Basic Homogeneous Transform(BHT) which is used mainly the kinematics modeling of manipulator, and, under assumption it's provided part of nullvector in given constraint equations, find kinematics model of mobile robot related to actuators in real robot.

In this paper, the simple geometric kinematics of a three-wheeled holonomic mobile robot is proposed. Wheel architecture is developed for the holonomic mobile platform in order to provide omni-directional motions by three individually driven and steered wheels. Three types of basic motions are proposed for the path generation of the developed mobile robot. All paths of the mobile robot can be achieved through a combination of the proposed basic motion trajectories. The proposed method is verified through computer simulations and the developed mobile robot.

Path following of the mobile robot is one research hot for the mobile robot navigation. For the control system of the wheeled mobile robot(WMR) being in nonhonolomic system and the complex relations among the control parameters, it is difficult to solve the problem based on traditional mathematics model. In this paper, we presents a simple and effective way of implementing an adaptive following controller based on the PID for mobile robot path following. The method uses a non-linear model of mobile robot kinematics and thus allows an accurate prediction of the future trajectories. The proposed controller has a parallel structure that consists of PID controller with a fixed gain. The control law is constructed on the basis of Lyapunov stability theory. Computer simulation for a differentially driven nonholonomic mobile robot is carried out in the velocity and orientation tracking control of the nonholonomic WMR. The simulation results of wheel type mobile robot platform are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposed a method of cooperative control of three mobile robots for carrying an object placed on a floor together. Each robot moves to the object independently from its location to a pre-designated location for grasping the object stably. After grasping the common object, the coordination among the robots has been achieved by a master-slave mode. That is, a trajectory planning has been done for the master robot and the distances form the master robot to the two slave robots have been kept constant during the carrying operation. The localization for mobile robots has been implemented using the encoder data and inverse kinematics since the whole system does not have the slippage as much as a single mobile robot. Before the carrying operation, the lifting operations are implemented using the manipulators attached on the top of the mobile robots cooperatively. The real cooperative lifting and carrying operations are implanted to show the feasibility of the master-slave mode control based on the kinematics using the mobile manipulators developed for this research.

A real-time path planning of mobile robots is a broad topic, covering a large spectrum of different technologies and applications. Briefly a path planning is designated moving technique from current pose to desired pose. It is remarkably easy to handle for human, not for robot. It is difficult that a robot recognizes surround to get a current pose and to avoid an obstacles. In this paper covers kinematics, path planning for efficient movements of a mobile robot. Kinematics of mobile robot which is suggested in this paper is exploited to create reliable and suitable motions. In addition, Gradient method is a algorithm which can guarantee for real-time path planning.

This paper describes a tracking control for the mobile robot based on fuzzy systems. Since the mobile robot has the nonholonomic constraints, these constraints should be considered to design a tracking controller for the mobile robot. One of the well-known tracking controllers for the mobile robot is the back-stepping controller. The conventional back-stepping controller includes the dynamics and kinematics of the mobile robot. The conventional back-stepping controller is affected by the derived velocity reference by a kinematic controller. To improve the performance of the conventional back-stepping controller, this paper uses the fuzzy systems known as the nonlinear controller. The new velocity reference for the back-stepping controller is derived through the fuzzy inference. Fuzzy rules are selected for gains of the kinematic controller. The produced velocity reference has properly considered the varying reference trajectories. Simulation results show that the proposed controller is more robust than the conventional back-stepping controller.

We propose a blind mobile robot force control algorithm that uses force information as a guidance toward to the goal position. Based on the mobile robot dynamics, the control law is formed from explicit force errors. Simulation studies are conducted based on the kinematics and the dynamics of the mobile robot. Simulation results show that good force tracking can be achieved. In order to confirm simulation results, experiments are performed. The robot is commanded to follow unknown environment with maintaining a certain desired force. Experimental results show that the blind mobile robot successfully maintains contact with a regulated desired force and arrives at the goal position.

In this paper, the kinematic model and motion control of a joint-actuated mobile robot are analyzed. To take an efficient approach to the wheeled mobile robots, the relationship between wheel rotation and the contact point of the wheel is considered. It is shown that each addition of a joint to a mobile robot increases the degree of freedom(DOF) of mobile robot, and the way of joint attachment to a mobile robot is proposed. To get a solution of inverse kinematics of mobile robot, two types of approaches are proposed.

One of the most important features of the Mobile Manipulator is redundant freedom. Using it's redundant freedom, a Mobile Manipulator can move in various modes, and perform dexterous motions. In this paper, to improve robot job performance, two robots -mobile robot, task robot- are joined together to perform a job, we studied the optimal position and posture of a Mobile Manipulator to achieve a minimum of movement of each robot joint. Kinematics of mobile robot and task robot is solved. Using the mobility of a Mobile robot, the weight vector of robots is determined. Using the Gradient method, global motion trajectory is minimized, so the job which the Mobile Manipulator performs is optimized. The proposed algorithm is verified with PURL-II which is Mobile Manipulator combined Mobile robot and task robot, and the results are discussed.
