“…In particular, the application of sliding-mode and backstepping methods can be hindered by the need to transform previously the dynamic model of mobile manipulators into canonical or triangular state-space forms. One can also note results on robust and adaptive control schemes for mobile manipulators which aim at compensating for model uncertainty and disturbances in these robotic systems [Xu et al, 2009], [Souzanchi et al, 2017], [Wu et al, 2014], [Park et al, 2018], [Monzur and Kulawik, 2006]. There are also findings on global linearizationbased control schemes for mobile manipulators, as for instance in the case of flatness-based control [Tang et al, 2011], [Morales et al, 2014], [Lévine, 2011], [Fliess and Mounier, 1999], [Sira-Ramirez and Agrawal, 2004], [Villagra et al, 2007].…”
