Adaptive Neural Network-Based Tracking Control for Full-State Constrained Wheeled Mobile Robotic System
In this paper, an adaptive neural network (NN)-based tracking control algorithm is proposed for the wheeled mobile robotic (WMR) system with full state constraints. It is the first time to design an adaptive NN-based control algorithm for the dynamic WMR system with full state constraints. The constraints come from the limitations of the wheels’ forward speed and steering angular velocity, which depends on the motors’ driving performance. By employing adaptive NNs and a barrier Lyapunov function with error variables, then, the unknown functions in the systems are estimated, and the constraints are not violated. Based on the assumptions and lemmas given in this paper and the references, while the design and the system parameters chose properly, our proposed scheme can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness for all signals in the WMR system, and the tracking error converge to a bounded compact set to zero. The numerical experiment of a WMR system is presented to illustrate the good performance of the proposed control algorithm.
