The stable and precise motion control for an autonomous mobile robot
Abstract
The major problem addressed by this research is how to develop a motion control algorithm for stable and precise control of the motion of an autonomous mobile robot The approach taken was to clearly define the robot's motion descriptions and to design a high-level, machine independent robot control language called MML (Mode-based Mobile robot Language). The results are that the robot can implement line to line, line to circle, circle to circle path tracking or the combinations of these. Based on the motion control algorithm which was developed in this thesis, the robot is able to use external sensors to execute complicated missions such as obstacle avoidance (sonar is used in this thesis work).

Mulltivariate motion planning of autonomous robots.
Karamanlis, Vasilios (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03);A problem of motion control in robot motion planning is to find a smooth transition while going from one path to another. The key concept of our theory is the steering function, used to manipulate the motion of our vehicle. ... -
Flocking Control of Groups of Mobile Autonomous Agents via Local Feedback
Wang, Long; Shi, Hong; Chu,Tianguang; Zhang, Weicun; Zhang, Lin (2005);This paper considers a group of mobile autonomous agents moving in Euclidean space with point mass dynamics. We introduce a set of coordination control laws that enable the group to generate the desired stable flocking ... -
Cooperative Control of Multiple Space Manipulators
Yale, G.; Agrawal, B.N. (1994);This paper concerns the cooperative control of multiple manipulators attached to the same base as they reposition a common payload. The theory is easily applied to inertially based problems as well as space based free-floating ...
