REAL-TIME TRAJECTORY TRACKING OF NONHOLONOMIC MOBILE ROBOT BASED ON DECOUPLING CONTROL TECHNIQUES

Abstract

This paper addresses the real-time implementation problem for the trajectory tracking of nonholonomic mobile robot. A tracking control scheme is first proposed for general nonlinear systems based on the input/output decoupling technique, and the application of this tracking control method in the two-wheel driven mobile robot is then studied. Furthermore, the implementation platform of a two-wheel driven mobile robot is developed to perform the real-time trajectory tracking algorithms, and the experiment results do show the efficiency of the proposed nonlinear tracking algorithm.
