Motion Control of Omnidirectional Mobile Platform for Path Following Using Backstepping Technique

Path Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot

In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...

Motion control of an omnidirectional mobile robot

This paper focuses on the motion control problem of an omnidirectional mobile robot. A new control method based on the inverse input-output linearized kinematic model is proposed. As the actuator saturation and actuator dynamics have important impacts on the robot performance, this control law takes into account these two aspects and guarantees the stability of the closed-loop control system. R...

Learning omnidirectional path following using dimensionality reduction

We consider the task of omnidirectional path following for a quadruped robot: moving a four-legged robot along any arbitrary path while turning in any arbitrary manner. Learning a controller capable of such motion requires learning the parameters of a very high-dimensional policy class, which requires a prohibitively large amount of data to be collected on the real robot. Although learning such...
