Discrete-time sliding mode path-tracking control for a wheeled mobile robot

摘要

In this work, it is presented a discrete time control strategy for the solution of the path-tracking problem for a wheeled mobile robot of the type (2,0). It is assumed that the mobile robot is remotely controlled over a communication network that induces a transport delay. The exact discrete-time model of the mobile robot including the induced delay is developed. It is presented a discrete-time strategy control based on a sliding mode approach that allows to solve the path-tracking problem. The closed loop stability of the overall system is clearly stated. The proposed control strategy is evaluated by mean of computer simulation
