In this paper we present a solution for the trajectory tracking problem in a newt mobile robot. We exploit the differential flatness property of the robot kinematic model to propose an input-output linearization controller which allows both the position and the orientation to track a desired trajectory. An important assumption is that robot has to be initially placed at a point on such a desired trajectory...
