Abstract

We consider the path tracking problem for a rolling spherical robot on an arbitrary uneven surface. A full mathematical model of motion as well as its reduced version without slipping and twisting are derived. A state-feedback control laws that provide robot motion along a given trajectory are synthesized. The effectiveness of the proposed control laws is demonstrated by results of computer simulation.
