Iterative-learning-based tracking control of a two-wheeled mobile robot with model uncertainties and unknown periodic disturbances.

In this paper, we develop an adaptive iterative learning approach to investigate the trajectory tracking control issue for a class of two-wheeled mobile robots subject to model uncertainties and unknown disturbances. First, we derive the nonlinear velocity error dynamics. Then a parameterization-based adaptive iterative learning control scheme is adopted to achieve precise tracking, along with logic-based update law for the estimated period and bound of the disturbance. Moreover, the boundness of all the closed-loop signals is rigorously analyzed based on the Lyapunov stability theory to provide the theoretical foundation for the proposed method. The experimental results show the efficacy and viability of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
