Abstract
This article deals with handling unknown factors, such as external disturbance and unknown dynamics, for mobile robot control. We propose a radial-basis function (RBF) network-based controller to compensate for these. The stability of the proposed controller is proven using the Lyapunov function. To show the effectiveness of the proposed controller, several simulation results are presented. Through the simulations, we show that the proposed controller can overcome the modelling uncertainty and the disturbances. The proposed RBF controller also outperforms previous work from the viewpoint of computation time, which is a crucial fact for real-time applications.
