We address the problem of controlling a noisy differential drive mobile robot such that the probability of satisfying a specification given as a Bounded Linear Temporal Logic (BLTL) formula over a set of properties at the regions in the environment is maximized. We assume that the vehicle can precisely determine its initial position in a known map of the environment. However, inspired by practical...
The paper considers the problem of automatic path tracking by autonomous farming vehicles subject to wheel slips, which are characteristic for agricultural applications. Two guidance laws are proposed to solve this problem, and both explicitly take into account the constraints on the steering angle and ensure tracking an arbitrarily curved path. The first law is implemented by the pure sliding-mode...
Planetary surface exploration rovers must accurately and efficiently predict their mobility on natural, rough terrain. Most approaches to mobility prediction assume precise a priori knowledge of terrain physical parameters, however in practical scenarios knowledge of terrain parameters contains significant uncertainty. In this paper, a statistical method for mobility prediction that incorporates terrain...
In this paper, motion control and stabilization of a 4-wheel skid-steering mobile robot (4WSSMR) are studied. A ratio controller which has been successfully applied in the chemical industry is designed to limit the vehicle lateral skid. Motion stability is guaranteed by generating an appropriate steering action (driving bias in left and right wheels) according to the states of the vehicle. A model...
