Mobile robots with trailers and its control is one of the most challenging problems in service
robotics. Since, these kinds of robots can accomplish the given task in a faster and cheaper …

This chapter may be seen as a follow up to Chapter 17, devoted to the classification and
modeling of basic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) structures, and a natural complement to …

A control scheme is proposed for stabilization of backward driving along simple paths for a
miniaturized vehicle composed of a truck and a two-axle trailer. The paths chosen are …

A hybrid control scheme is proposed for the stabilization of backward driving along simple
paths for a miniature vehicle composed of a truck and a two-axle trailer. When reversing, the …

This paper deals with motion planning and control for mobile robots. The various
components of an integrated architecture for the mobile robot Hilare pulling a trailer are …

A control system controls a work vehicle towing a towed implement. The control system
includes a steering angle sensor, an implement position generating unit generating an …

This paper presents the design of a new, differentiable kinematic control law that utilizes a
damped dynamic oscillator with a tunable frequency of oscillation to achieve global …

The problem of path-tracking for an autonomous vehicle composed of a tractor and n− 1
trailers with off-axle hitching is considered in this paper. It is shown that an input-output …

Passive trailer systems provide a variety of advantages in delivery and transportation
applications. The transportation capacity of the truck with multiple trailers can be increased …

This paper presents an approach, based on the qualitative theory of nonlinear dynamical
systems, for the analysis and design of control systems for autonomous articulated vehicles …
