Global Finite-Time Stabilization for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots Based on Visual Servoing

Abstract

In this paper, the global finite-time stabilization problem is considered for nonholonomic mobile robots based on visual servoing with uncalibrated visual parameters, control direction and unmatched external disturbances. Firstly, the simple dynamic chained-form systems is obtained by using a state and input transformation of the kinematic robot systems. Secondly, a new discontinuous switching controller is presented in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances, it is rigorously proved that the corresponding closed-loop system can be stabilized to the origin equilibrium point in a finite time. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control design approach.

Design of a Remote-controlled and GPS-guided Autonomous Robot for Precision Farming

“…Although every nonholonomic system is controllable, it cannot be stabilized to a point with pure smooth (or even continuous) state feedback law because of Brockett's Theorem [22]. In order to overcome this difficulty, a variety of sophisticated feedback stabilization methods have been proposed by [21,[23][24].…”

Robust Stabilization of Extended Nonholonomic Chained‐Form Systems with Dynamic Nonlinear Uncertain Terms by Using Active Disturbance Rejection Control

“…However, the complexity of understanding complex systems, the inevitable changes in system architecture, and the difficulty of predicting changes in the environment are three key points, leading to the dilemma that uncertainties always exist in the modeling of actual power systems [15]. Plenty of control methods have been developed [16][17][18][19][20] such as adaptive control [21,22] and robust control [23]. In recent years, the active disturbance rejection control [2] technique has been widely recognized for its abilities to handle with uncertainties and its simplicity in the control structure.…”

Finite‐Time Switching Control of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots for Moving Target Tracking Based on Polar Coordinates

“…Tracking of a moving target has its own complexities, mainly as follows: the movement of the target is more diverse and more dense and has large clutter density. The tracking of a ground moving target using nonholonomic robots has always been one of the forefront topics of great concern, because it has very important applications in cooperative robot reconnaissance [2], multirobot formation [3,4], and trajectory tracking [5][6][7][8][9]. Unmanned aerial robots (UARs) and unmanned ground robots (UGRs) [10][11][12][13] are often used to track a moving target.…”
