In this paper, two identification methods are proposed for a ground robotic system. A Gaussian process regression (GPR) model is presented and adopted for a system identification framework. Its performance and features were compared with a wavelet-based nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) model. Both algorithms were compared and experimentally validated for a small ground robot. Moreover, data were collected throughout the onboard sensors. The results show better prediction performance in the case of the GPR method, as an estimation algorithm and in providing a measure of uncertainty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
