MPC-Based Path Following Control of an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot with Consideration of Robot Constraints

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...

Backward and forward path following control of a wheeled robot

A wheeled mobile robot is one of the most important types of mobile robots. A subcategory of these robots is wheeled robots towing trailer(s). Motion control problem, especially in backward motion is one of the challenging research topics in this field. In this article, a control algorithm for path-following problem of a tractor-trailer system is provided, which at the same time provides the ab...

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...
