Abstract

In the context of robotics, a model is defined as a set of mathematical differential equations that represents the behaviour of a robot. In this sense, kinematic and dynamic modelling constitutes a key issue related to off-road mobile robotics, since such models may be used to design appropriate mechanical structures [117, 125]; to design planning algorithms and motion controllers [58]; to estimate the robot localization [123]; and to implement software simulators [48], among others.
