Purpose – Target tracking systems are generally computationally intensive and require expensive and power‐hungry visual sensors. On the other hand, the existing target tracking control approaches fail to track the target swiftly and accurately when the mobile robot moves in the diversified...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design a mobile robot controller which is able to pursue a given goal with obstacle‐avoiding capability in which the two tasks, i.e. aiming at the goal and avoiding obstacles, are fused together in a coherent framework of look‐ahead control method....

Purpose – The paper aims to present a new mechanical scheme for a leg to be included in legged vehicles that simplifies the control actuations along the stride. Design/methodology/approach – The scheme includes three four‐bar links grouped in two mechanisms. The first one decouples the...

The present paper studies the problem of control and motion planning in the presence of uncertainty, for a mobile robot subject to state and actuator constraints, that moves along a predetermined path inside a terrain with moving obstacles. The motion of the robot must be as close as possible...
