Abstract

Wheeled mobile robots are a good candidate for a wide range of missions as exploration, search, rescue, logistics, and leisure. Many of these missions require the robot to perform long-running time and complex tasks. This article describes the design of an energy-efficient orientation controller for wheeled mobile robots. Specifically, this work compares two models and examines how they influence the mode of mobile robot locomotion. Then, the simulation results demonstrate how this approach provides a good trade-off combination of energy efficiency and the requirement of a fast convergence criterion.
