In this paper, the path-generating regulator is extended to tracking problem along a straight passage for two-wheeled mobile robots. As most of mobile robots are with nonholonomic constraints, it is difficult for us to make them converge to the target state with a control law. To solve this problem, many methods have been proposed. One of them is Path-generating Regulator(PGR) which designs a nonlinear regulator carrying out asymptotic convergence to a given trajectory family. However, the original method is not well suited for passages. In this paper, we will present the extended PGR for the tracking problem along a straight passage. Numerical simulations and experiments are also performed to show the effectiveness of this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
