Modeling and control of a 4-wheel skid-steering mobile robot
TLDR
An extension of the kinematic control law at the dynamic and motor levels using the Lyapunov analysis and the backstepping technique is developed, and extensive simulation results for trajectory tracking and set-point cases are discussed.Abstract:
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 levels. Next, a designing process of a kinematic controller based on the algorithm introduced by (Dixon et al., 2001) is shown. An extension of the kinematic control law at the dynamic and motor levels using the Lyapunov analysis and the backstepping technique is developed. To validate the designed algorithm, extensive simulation results for trajectory tracking and set-point cases are discussed. Some deliberations concerning the tuning of the controller are presented, too.read more

Analysis and Experimental Verification for Dynamic Modeling of A Skid-Steered Wheeled Vehicle
TL;DR: It is shown that the closed-loop system that results from inclusion of the dynamics of the [proportional--integral--derivative (PID)] speed controllers for each set of wheels does a much better job than the open-loop model of predicting the vehicle linear and angular velocities.
