摘要:
Mobile robots have found widespread use in military and civilian applications. The presence of nonholonomic constraints, strong nonlinearities and parametric uncertainty poses serious challenges to controller design with guaranteed internal stability and desirable performance specifications. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the status of the art on the stabilization and control of nonholonomic mobile robots, and report on our research on the adaptive stabilization and tracking of mobile robots. A novel adaptive controller design will be presented, along with computer simulations. Open problems in related research fields will be discussed.
