  • Abstract
    This study presents simple controllers for achieving trajectory tracking for the kinematic model of a Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs) with bounded inputs. The proposed controllers are based on smooth uniformly bounded functions that can easily be realized. The underlying tracking controller can be applied to control a group of WMRs, in particular for achieving a string-like formation.
