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

The subject of this chapter is the control problem for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots
moving on the plane, and in particular the use of] eedback techniques for achieving a given …

This paper describes the Robotarium-a remotely accessible, multi-robot research facility.
The impetus behind the Robotarium is that multi-robot testbeds constitute an integral and …

This paper is concerned with the leader–follower formation control of multiple underactuated
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In the proposed leader–follower control, the …

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 …

Nonholonomic mobile robots have constraints imposed on the motion that are not
integrable, ie, the constraints cannot be written as time derivatives of some function of the …

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 …

Robust path following is an issue of vital practical importance to the ship industry. In this
paper, a nonlinear robust adaptive control strategy is developed to force an underactuated …

This brief proposes a sliding-mode control method for wheeled-mobile robots in polar
coordinates. A new sliding-mode control method is proposed for mobile robots with …

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 …
