In this paper, finite-time tracking problem of nonholonomic mobile robots for a moving target is considered. First of all, polar coordinates are used to characterize the distance and azimuth between the moving target and the robot. Then, based on the distance and azimuth transported from the sensor installed on the robot, a finite-time tracking control law is designed for the nonholonomic mobile robot by the switching control method. Rigorous proof shows that the tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This paper investigates the fixed-time trajectory tracking control for a group of nonholonomic mobile robots, where the desired trajectory is generated by a virtual leader, the leader’s information is available to only a subset of the followers, and the followers are assumed to have only local interaction. According to fixed-time control theory and adding a power integrator technique, distributed fixed-time tracking controllers are developed for each robot such that all states of each robot can reach the desired value in a fixed time. Moreover, the settling time is independent of the system initial conditions and only determined by the controller parameters. Simulation results illustrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
