Abstract :
This paper considers problem of approximation of admissible trajectory for skid-steering mobile robot at kinematic level. Nonholonomic constraints at kinematic and dynamic level are taken into account. The trajectory tracking control problem is solved using practical stabilizer using tunable oscillator with novel method of tuning. The stability result is proved using Lyapunov analysis and takes into account uncertainty of kinematics. In order to ensure stable motion of the robot the scaling method is used. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by simulation results.
