Abstract

The application and implementation of portable mobile robots are increasing in industrial and warehouse environments. A robot that can efficiently maneuver in confined spaces is perfectly suited for such a task. One such variety is omniwheeled mobile robots. In the paper, we present the design of a robust control policy for the accurate trajectory tracking of four-wheeled mecanum mobile robot in the presence of external uncertainties and disturbances. In the beginning, the kinematical and the dynamical modeling of the mobile robot are performed. Afterwards, a robust control policy is designed and implemented. The efficacy of the proposed controller was tested on a reference trajectory. Simulation results prove that the proposed controller tracks trajectory with greater accuracy than other standard controllers.
