            Abstract : 
Point stabilization of a Tractor-Trailer Mobile Robot is addressed in this paper. Based on the transformed chained system, a discontinuous feedback control law with high order sliding mode method is proposed. Simulation is carried out to verify the control law and the results show that it can drive the system converge to the origin in finite time.
