Integral Sliding Mode Formation Control Of Uncertain Mobile Robots [Paperback]

This book focuses on the mathematical and computational aspects of integral sliding mode control and multiple robots with uncertainties. The contents are usable in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. These contents are organized into six chapters. Chapter 1 starts with a brief historical overview of the formation problems of multiple robots. Chapter 2 presents the mathematical model of the leader-follower-based formation problem for multiple robot systems in the presence of uncertainties. Chapter 3 introduces the methodology of sliding mode. Chapter 4 presents the integral sliding mode control for the formation problem. Chapter 5 extends the compensator design of uncertainties for multiple robots. Chapter 6 summarizes some of the further extensions not captured within this book. The book can be used for teaching a graduate-level special-topics course in sliding mode control and robotics.
