— The goal of this paper is to serve as a reference for researchers in robotics and control that are interested in realistic modeling, theoretical analysis and simulation of wire...
A nonlinear control law to steer the unicycle model to a static or dynamic target pose is presented. If the target is static the control signals are smooth in their arguments and t...
—Path tracking control on non-flat terrain is an important capability of mobile robots operating in outdoor environments. A path tracking controller based on the model predictive...
— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
