Abstract
The feedback control and modeling of a mobile robot with two wheels that are independently steerable and drivable is studied. Two-wheel steer vehicles increase their maneuverability when both wheels are powered and therefore increases their performance in confined spaces. A dynamic feedback control algorithm is developed, which enables the vehicle to move from any initial configuration (position and orientation) to any final configuration. Simulation results are presented to verify the independent control of the two position variables and the orientation variable. A comparison with a two-wheel steering and one wheel drive vehicle shows that driving both wheels increases performance and maneuverability
