Abstract

This paper presents a simple method of steering control strategy for a class of Nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The strategy is based on adaptive Backstepping technique and does not require the conversion of the model into a “chained form”, and so it does not depend on any special transformation methods. Control laws have been developed for five different types of mobile robot models. The control laws and the adaptive laws are derived in the sense of Lyapunov functions, so that the closed loop system’s stability can be guaranteed.
