Abstract
A tracking control methodology via time-varying state feedback based on the backstepping technique is proposed for both a kinematic and simplified dynamic model of a two-degrees-of-freedom mobile robot. We first address the local tracking problem where initial tracking errors are sufficiently small. Then, under additional conditions on the desired velocities, we treat the global tracking problem where initial tracking errors are arbitrary. Simulation results are provided to validate and analyse our theoretical results.
