Abstract In the paper a path following problem for a wheeled mobile robot of (2,0) type has been considered. The kinematic model of the robot was derived with respect to the Serret-Frenet frame. Two kinematic control algorithms - Samson and Morin-Samson - have been tested taking into account their sensitivity to a white noise with a zero mean appearing in the one of state variables. The properties of path following errors have been analysed using statistical techniques. The conclusions related to an acceptable level of noise and a range of applicability of the presented algorithms have been reached.

Near minimum-time direct voltage control (DVC) algorithms synthesizing path-planning and path-following are proposed for wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) satisfying (i) initial and final postures and velocities as well as (ii) voltage and current constraints. To overcome nonholonomic and nonlinear properties of WMRs, we divide our control algorithm for cornering motion into three sections: TSD (Translational Section of Deceleration), RS (Rotational Section), and TSA (Translational Section of Acceleration). We developed off-line DVC algorithms using the quadratic problem with the object function minimizing the total time, where voltages to the motors are controlled directly without velocity/torque-servo modules, while satisfying the current constraints. Two methods of searching for the two control parameters (number of steps for RS MR and velocity constraint in RS β) were considered: The one is composed of one simple 1-dimensional search for β, and the other is composed of two 1-dimensional searches for MR and β which has better performance. Performances of the proposed control algorithms are validated via various simulations.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a polar-space kinematics control method to achieve simultaneous tracking and stabilization for an omnidirectional wheeled mobile robot with three independent driving omnidirectional wheels equally spaced at 120° from one another. The kinematic model of the robot in polar coordinates is presented. With the kinematic model, a kinematic control method based on feedback linearization is proposed in order to achieve simultaneous tracking and stabilization. The proposed method is easily extended to address the path following problem. Computer simulations and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed control method at slow speeds.

Abstract If in the right-hand sides of given differential equations occur discontinuities in the state variables, then the natural notion of a solution is the one in the sense of Filippov. In our paper, we will consider this type of solutions for vector Dirichlet problems. The obtained theorems deal with the existence and localization of Filippov solutions, under effective growth restrictions. Two illustrative examples are supplied.

In this paper, the effects of wheel slip compensation in trajectory planning for mobile tractor-trailer robot applications are investigated. Firstly, a kinematic model of the proposed robot architecture is marked out, then an experimental campaign is done to identify if it is possible to kinematically compensate trajectories that otherwise would be subject to large lateral slip. Due to the close connection to the experimental data, the results shown are valid only for Epi.q, the prototype that is the main object of this manuscript. Nonetheless, the base concept can be usefully applied to any mobile robot subject to large lateral slip.
