This paper considers a leader-follower formation control problem of nonholonomic vehicles
of unicycle-type subject to velocity constraints. The velocity constraints of each vehicle are …

This brief proposes a motion planning-based adaptive control strategy for an underactuated
overhead crane system. To improve the transportation efficiency and enhance the safety of …

Presently, ship-mounted cranes are playing more and more important roles in modern
ocean transportation and logistics. Different from traditional land-fixed crane systems, ship …

This work proposes the control of an autonomous vehicle using a Lyapunov-based
technique with a LQR-LMI tuning. Using the kinematic model of the vehicle, a non-linear …

This paper develops a robust nonlinear controller that asymptotically drives the dynamic
model of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) onto a predefined path at a constant …

This paper aims to give a general and unifying presentation on modeling of wheel mobile
robots (WMRs) in the presence of wheel skidding and slipping from the perspective of …

The global finite-time attitude stabilization problem for a rigid spacecraft system is
investigated. The actuator saturation is explicitly taken into account in the proposed finite …

We investigate formation control of a group of unicycle-type mobile robots at the dynamics
level with a little amount of inter-robot communication. A combination of the virtual structure …

The uniform global finite-time stability is discussed for a cascaded time-varying system
consisting of two uniformly finite-time stable subsystems. It is shown that a forward …

A smooth time-varying controller is proposed to simultaneously address the stabilization and
tracking problems of nonholonomic mobile robots for most admissible reference trajectories …
