In this paper, a trajectory tracking control of a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot is proposed based on terminal sliding mode control, and the proposed method has been implemented on a wheeled mobile robot. A wheeled mobile robot is a nonlinear nonholonomic system, and it has three extended coordinates and a nonholonomic constraint. First, the equation of wheeled mobile robot for the extended chained form is derived by transformation of the nonholonomic system equation to the extended chained form. Then a finite time terminal sliding mode approach for trajectory tracking control of the wheeled mobile robot is presented. Afterward, with a graphical simulation environment which is applicable in the Matlab software, graphical simulations of wheeled mobile robot’s movement are done. The result of the graphical simulation in comparing with sliding mode control show the performance of the proposed method. Finally, the practical results of implementation of the controller for trajectory tracking of the wheeled mobile robot is shown, and the results show good tracking performance of the proposed method.

There exist satisfactory results in the analysis of the motion control of the vehicles with the assumption of nonslip (pure rolling) condition of robot wheeles, But unfortunately in practice due to the presence of uncertainties such as sliding of wheels especially in agriculture applications where working conditions are rough the results and the quality of the control performance of the system are affected. The ideal control of wheeled systems is performed with the assumption of the existence of nonholonomic non-slip constraints, while in the real system these constraints are violated due to the presence of slippages. In this paper the problem of trajectory tracking control of wheeled vehicles in the presence of sliding is addressed. To take sliding effects into account, sliding models are introduced into the kinematic model. In other words, these effects are added as unknown parameters to the ideal kinematic model. For taking into account the sliding effects their mathematical models are introduced in system kinematic model. In another word these effects as an unknown parameters are added to the system ideal kinematics. An integrating parameter adaptation technique and backstepping control algorithm has been utilized in order to control the system. The backstepping control law is designed to track the reference trajectories and make the robot asymptotically stable around the reference trajectories. Finally, the obtained results are presented for tracking reference trajectories and comparison results shows the efficiency of using the estimation of slips in control of the system.

One of the main topics in the field of robotics is the formation control of the group of robots in trajectory tracking problem. Using organized robots has many advantages compared to using them individually. Among them the efficiency of using resources, the possibility of robot's cooperation, increasing reliability and resistance to defects can be pointed out. Therefore, formation control of multi-body robotic systems and intelligent vehicles attracted considerable attention that is discussed in this paper. First, kinematic and kinetic equations of a differential drive wheeled robot are obtained. Then, reference trajectories for tracking problem of the leader robot are produced. Next, a kinematic control law is designed for trajectory tracking of the leader robot. The proposed controller steer the leader robot asymptotically follow reference trajectories. Subsequently, a dynamic control algorithm for generating system actuator toques is designed based on feedback linearization method. Afterwards, formation control of the robots has been considered and an appropriate algorithm is designed in order to organize the follower robots in the desired configurations, meanwhile tracking control of the wheeled robot. Furthermore the stability of the presented algorithms for kinematic, dynamic and formation control laws is analyzed using Lyapunov method. Finally, obtained results for different reference paths are presented which represents the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Trajectory tracking is one of the main control problems in the context of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs). Besides, control of underactuated systems possesses a particular complexity and importance; so it has been focused by many researchers in recent years. In this paper, these two important control subjects are discussed regarding a Tractor-Trailer Wheeled Mobile Robot (TTWMR); which includes a differential drive wheeled mobile robot towing a passive spherical wheeled trailer. The use of spherical wheels instead of standard wheels in trailer makes the robot highly underactuated with severe nonlinearities. Spherical wheels are used for the trailer to increase robots’ maneuverability. In fact, standard wheels create nonholonomic constraints by means of pure rolling and nonslip conditions, and reduce robot maneuverability. In this paper, after introducing the robot, kinematics and kinetics models are obtained, and combined as the dynamics model. Then, based on physical intuition a new controller is developed for the robot, named as Lyapaunov-PID control algorithm. Then, singularity avoidance of the proposed algorithm is discussed and the stability of the algorithm is discussed. Simulation results reveal the suitable performance of the proposed algorithm. Finally, experimental implementation results are presented which verify the simulation results.
