Abstract

The performance of a networked control system (NCS) is affected directly and indirectly by transmission time delays and data losses in the communications network. Based on the communications network model, this paper presents two different control strategies and the study of network effects on the lateral (guidance) control of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) in the presence of sensor noise: bounded PD control and fuzzy control. Simulation results are presented to validate the results of the proposed strategies.
