            Abstract : 
We propose a global time-varying universal controller to achieve stabilization and tracking simultaneously for mobile robots with saturated inputs. The controller synthesis is based on Lyapunov´s direct method and backstepping technique. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
