Continuous-time Robust Deadbeat Control of Automatic Guided Vehicle

Real-time control of an automated guided vehicle using a continuous mode of sliding mode control

Abstract: This paper proposes a tracking control method for a certain type of differential-drive wheeled mobile robot, called automated guided vehicles (AGVs), using a continuous mode approach of sliding mode control (SMC). The SMC applied produces a continuous signal in between the U and –U control signals instead of discrete ones. The controller is applied to control the velocity and directio...

Nonlinear Robust Tracking Control of an Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System

This paper develops an improved robust multi-surface sliding mode controller for a complicated five degrees of freedom Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System with floating base. The proposed method combines the robust controller with some corrective terms to decrease the tracking error in transient and steady state. This approach improves the performance of the nonlinear dynamic control scheme a...

PC Guided Automatic Vehicle System

The main objective of this paper is to design and develop an automatic vehicle, fully controlled by a computer system. The vehicle designed in the present work can move in a pre-determined path and work automatically without the need of any human operator and it also controlled by human operator. Such a vehicle is capable of performing wide variety of difficult tasks in space research, domestic...

Robust Integral Sliding-Mode Control of an Aerospace Launch Vehicle

An analysis of on-line autonomous robust tracking controller based on variable structure control is presented for an aerospace launch vehicle. Decentralized sliding-mode controller is designed to achieve the decoupled asymptotic tracking of guidance commands upon plant uncertainties and external disturbances. Development and application of the controller for an aerospace launch vehicle during a...
