In order that a mobile robot executes the real tasks such as inspection and maintenance in nuclear facility efficiently, the coordination between the mobile platform and the manipulator is essentially required In this paper, a new motion control method for a mobile robot to execute the tasks in nuclear facility efficiently is proposed. A series of simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Omnidirectional mobile robots are capable of arbitrary motion in an arbitrary direction without changing the direction of wheels, because they can perform 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion on a 2-dimensional plane. In this research, a new class of an omnidirectional mobile robot is proposed. Since it has synchronously steerable omnidirectional wheels, it is called an omnidirectional mobile robot with steerable omnidirectional wheels (OMR-SOW). It has 3 DOFs in motion and one DOF in steering. One steering DOF can function as a continuously variable transmission (CVT). CVT of the OMR-SOW increases the range of velocity ratio from the wheel velocities to robot velocity, which may improve...

This paper deals with the application of fuzzy Petri net to control the line tracking mobile robot. Comparing with the Petri net and the fuzzy Petri net, the fuzzy Petri net model is more effective than the use of Petri net, so the line tracking mobile robot has a little shake and also has a little moving distance than one of using the Petri, And thus the mobile robot shows less energy consumption

The objective of this paper is to design a adaptive fuzzy controller for autonomous navigation of mobile robot. The adaptive fuzzy controller has an advantage in data processing time and convergence speed. The basic idea of control is to induct membership function and fuzzy inference rules and to scale inducted membership function to suitable robot state. The adaptive fuzzy control method is applied to mobile robot and the simulation results show the effectiveness of our controller.

Free-path-type guidance system does not need a hardwired path in the environment so that it gives a mobile robot a flexible path. ln this study to achieve the free-path-type guidance system for a mobile robot which is steered by the differential steering of both drive forewheels, position recognition systems are constructed using odometer system as an internal position sensor. Two odometer systems, a auxiliary wheel odometer and a 2-encoder odometer system are constructed and path following algorithms using these odometer systems are designed and experimented. PID control type is adopted in the path following algorithms.

A neural fuzzy control strategy, developed in order to make a Mobile Vehicle(MV) run along with the traffic guidelines on the road, is presented. A neurocomputer is used in the control procedure and it learnt the driving knowledge to control the MV's actions. The image information of the guidelines is provided by a CCD camera on the top of the MV. The MV utilize the image information to identify the shape of the road and to decide the position of itself, and control the running actions. A fuzzy controller works on-line. Both of the neural controller and the fuzzy controller make up each other. This control method solve the problem of mechanical and electrical inertia and make the Mobile Vehicle run rapidly and smoothly.

This paper proposed trajectory tracking control based on genetic algorithm. Trajectory tracking control scheme are real coding genetic algorithm(RCGA) and back-propagation algorithm(BPA). Control scheme ability experience proposed simulation. Stable tracking control problem of mobile robots have been studied in recent years. These studies have guaranteed stability of controller, but the performance of transient state has not been guaranteed. In some situations, constant gain controller shows overshoots and oscillations. So we introduce better control scheme using real coding genetic algorithm and neural network. Using RCGA, we can find proper gains in several situations and these gains are generalized by neural network. The generalization power of neural network will give proper gain in untrained situation. Performance of proposed controller will verity numerical simulations and the results show better performance than constant gain controller.

This paper deals with the path following problem of car-like intelligent mobile robot. A robust sliding mode control law based on time-varying state feedback is performed via Lyapunov method for path tracking of nonholonomic mobile robot with uncertainties. At first, A sliding control law is designed by combing the natural algebraic structure of the chained form system with ideas from sliding mode theory. Then, a robust control law is proposed to impose robustness against bounded uncertainties in path tracking. The problem of estimating the asymptotic stability region and the sliding domain of uncertain sliding mode system with bounded control input is also discussed. The proposed sliding mode control law can ensure the global reaching condition of the uncertain control system.

This paper describes the path tracking control for a mobile robot which has two casters at the front and rear to keep balance and two driving wheels on the left and right sides of its body. Power wheeled steering method is adapted to control heading of the robot. It is very difficult to find appropriate feedback gains when linear regulator control scheme is adapted to path tracking con-trol of this type of robot. Therefore in this paper we propose the path tracking control algorithm using the fuzzy logic control scheme for this type of root. Simulation to prove the validity of the proposed two algorithms is performed. The results are reported as last part in this paper.

This paper presents a sliding mode controller based on Ackermann's formula and applies it to stabilizing a two-wheeled mobile inverted pendulum in equilibrium. The mobile inverted pendulum is a system with an inverted pendulum on a mobile cart. The dynamic modeling of the mobile inverted pendulum was established under the assumptions of a cart with no slip and a pendulum with only planar motion. The proposed sliding mode controller was based upon a class of nonlinear systems whose nonlinear part of the modeling can be linearly parameterized. The sliding surface was obtained in an explicit form using Ackermann's formula, and then a control law was designed from reachability conditions and made the sliding surface attractive to the equilibrium state of the mobile inverted pendulum. The proposed controller was implemented in a Microchip PIC16F877 micro-controller. The developed overall control system is described. The simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the modeling and controller.
