Abstract

This paper presents a novel methodology for the trajectory tracking control of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots using multiple identification models. The overall control system includes two stages. In the first stage, a kinematic controller developed by using kinematic model provides the required linear and angular velocities of the robot for tracking a reference trajectory. In the second stage, the required velocities are taken as the inputs to an adaptive dynamic controller which uses multiple adaptive models for the parameter identification. The proposed adaptive dynamic controller is developed using a combined direct and indirect adaptive control approach where both prediction and tracking errors are used for identification. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed combined direct and indirect control scheme and multiple models approach.
