Abstract Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have shown indelible and revolutionary effects on
accident reduction and more efficient use of travel time, with outstanding socio‐economic …

This paper investigates the trajectory tracking control of an autonomous tracked vehicle.
First, the desired linear and angular velocities are evaluated based on vehicle's kinematics …

Illustrating the power, simplicity, and generality of the concept of flatness, this reference
explains how to identify, utilize, and apply flatness in system planning and design. The book …

The subject of the paper is the motion control problem of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) in
environments without obstacles. With reference to the popular unicycle kinematics, it is …

Most ocean vessels are underactuated but control of their motion in the real ocean
environment is essential. Control of Ships and Underwater Vehicles concentrates on the …

This paper proposes a new class of distributed nonlinear controllers for leader-following
formation control of unicycle robots without global position measurements. Nonlinear small …

This paper presents a survey on mobile robots as systems that can move in different
environments with walking, flying and swimming up to solutions that combine those …

This paper presents a design of global smooth controllers that achieve the practical
stabilization of arbitrary reference trajectories, including fixed points and nonadmissible …

This paper considers the problem of finite-time synchronization for a class of second-order
nonlinear multi-agent systems with a leader-follower architecture. By using the finite-time …

A mathematical model of a 4-wheel skid-steering mobile robot is presented in a systematic
way. The robot is considered as a subsystem consisting of kinematic, dynamic and drive …
