Using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formations to guide unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) through unstructured obstacle-laden areas leads to highly efficient execution of tasks such as the transportation of supplies. However, existing methods fail to efficiently plan obstacle-avoidance strategies for …
The actuator fault problems under saturation bring significant challenges to the stable and accurate tracking of wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) in industrial applications. This letter proposes a novel adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) method for WMR systems simultaneously considering uncertain mul
Local optima issues challenge mobile robots mapless navigation with the dilemma of avoiding collisions and approaching the target. Planning-based methods rely on environmental models and manual strategies to guide the robot. In contrast, learning-based methods can process original sensor data to nav

Uncertain disturbances increase the difficulty of robust tracking control for wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) in industrial scenarios, especially when exhibiting abrupt changes. This letter proposes an adaptive abrupt disturbance-rejection sliding mode controller (SMC). To address the increased variabi
To ensure operational accuracy and flexibility in confined environments, the cable-driven hyper-redundant manipulator needs to take into account both compliance and stiffness. Although the cable-driven method enables the manipulator to have adjustable stiffness, the theoretical analyses and studies…
