In this paper, we addressed the problem of controlling the position of a group of unicycle-
type robots to follow in formation a time-varying reference avoiding obstacles when needed …

In this article, we present a new passivity-based controller which ensures asymptotic stability
of the desired equilibrium point for a quadrotor with a cable-suspended load. Two steps …

The automatic monitoring/tracking of environmental boundaries by multi-agent systems is a
fundamental problem that has many practical applications. In this paper, we address this …

This paper presents a novel contour tracking scheme based on a well-posed kinematic
representation of differential-driven nonholonomic mobile robots. Firstly, a fuzzy aggregation …

This paper's primary motivation is to present a globally predefined-time sliding mode control
(PtSMC) strategy to stabilize a class of second-order systems subjected to matched and …

In this paper, an integrated path planning and tube-following control scheme is proposed for
collision-free navigation of a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in a compact convex workspace …

With the advancement of science and technology, people have gradually realized the power
of robots, and robots have been fully applied in many fields. The functional ability depends …

In this letter, we propose a novel formation controller for nonholonomic agents to form
general parametric curves. First, we derive a unified parametric representation for both open …

A surgical robotic system used for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) usually includes a
patient-side cart, exchangeable instruments and a few accessories. During the preoperative …

In this paper we report a novel output feedback controller for a class of mobile robots that
exhibit nonholonomic restrictions. The control objective is to regulate the robot position and …
