Adaptive Control of an Electrically Driven Nonholonomic Mobile Robot via Backstepping and Fuzzy Approach

This paper investigates the tracking control of an electrically driven nonholonomic mobile robot with model uncertainties in the robot kinematics, the robot dynamics, and the wheel actuator dynamics. A robust adaptive controller is proposed with the utilization of adaptive control, backstepping and fuzzy logic techniques. The proposed control scheme employs the adaptive control approach to design an auxiliary wheel velocity controller to make...
