Abstract
Abstract This paper proposes a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) robust control scheme. The feasible strategy is developed to achieve an efficient and robust autonomous mobile robot motion. To realize kinematic autonomous planning and control of the WMR, a novel controller is designed based on control Lyapunov function. This part can be divided into the following two aspects: 1) considering the nonholonomic constraints in the autonomous mobile robot trajectory tracking, a dynamic feedback‐linearization is adopted by utilizing differential flatness‐based integrated control framework to achieve full‐state controllability; 2) to compensate the structured uncertainties and slippage disturbances related to the robot kinematic model, a robust controller is designed based on control Lyapunov function with quadratic programming. Such a strategy can achieve autonomous motion even with unknown slippage disturbances subject to various constraints. Moreover, the sufficient condition is also analyzed to ensure the WMR system exponential stability. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are verified by numerical simulation.
