Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of some of the actual trends in control design for mobile robots and multibody wheeled vehicles. The control schemes are presented by area of application. Our discussion includes automatic parking, path following, vision-guided vehicle systems, multibody vehicle control. Approaches such as the follow-the-leader principle and other areas like car platooning in highways and transportation systems are also discussed.
