Abstract

Tractor-trailer systems are now widely used in various fields, such as factory transportation, farming, geographic exploration, etc. It consists of a tractor and one or more trailers, and the tractor mainly determines the direction and speed of system movement, it’s a typical nonholonomic constrained and underactuated system. This chapter focuses on path planning problems of tractor-trailer systems.
