Path Following Control of a Planar Snake Robot with an Exponentially Stabilizing Joint Control Law
This paper considers the problem of path following control of a planar snake robot without sideslip constraints. We use Lagrangian mechanics to derive the dynamical equations of motion of the system. The possibility of controlling the orientation of the robot in the absence of external dissipative forces is investigated. An exponentially stabilizing joint control law for the actuated shape dyna...
متن کاملCoordinated Path Following for Mobile Robots Using a Virtual Structure Strategy with Model Predictive Control
In this paper, we propose a novel coordinated path following controller based on model predictive control (MPC) for mobile robots. The strategy is based on a virtual structure approach where the entire formation is considered as a rigid body and the control laws for a virtual leader vehicle and for actual follower robots are optimized by considering the dynamics of the virtual structure and the...
متن کاملDynamic Path-Following Using Temporary Path Generator for Mobile Robots with Nonholonomic Constraints
The performance of dynamic path following of a wheeled mobile robot with nonholonomic constraints is highly affected by its initial states, because nonholonomically constrained system cannot guarantee the asymptotic stability for one equilibrium point of which errors and the time derivative of errors are zero. For this reason, the dynamic path following may yield poor performance with some init...
متن کاملVirtual Holonomic Constraints for Euler-Lagrange Systems
This paper investigates virtual holonomic constraints for Euler-Lagrange systems with n degreesof-freedom and n− 1 controls. In our framework, a virtual holonomic constraint is a relation specifying n − 1 configuration variables in terms of a single angular configuration variable. The enforcement by feedback of such a constraint induces a desired repetitive behavior in the system. We give condi...
متن کاملFurther Results on Virtual Holonomic Constraints
This paper continues recent work by the authors on virtual holonomic constraints (VHCs) for Euler-Lagrange control systems with n degrees-of-freedom and m control inputs. The focus of the paper is on implicit constraints of the form h(q) = 0. Under suitable regularity conditions, the enforcement of k ≤ m constraints induces constrained dynamics that are described by a reduced-order control syst...
