The angular velocity error usually arises from imperfect performance of the dynamic control system. Given a kinematic model of the mobile robot system with bounded angular velocity error, we present a stable and robust path-following controller which is based on the sliding mode control technique and prove that the path-following errors (the lateral distance and orientation error) are ultimately bounded. In addition, the safety margin of the lateral distance error is defined, which is useful for higher-level path-planning tasks. The feasibility of the proposed controller has been demonstrated through simulation tests.", pages = "1-23(23)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/arb/2006/00000020/00000001/art00001" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855306775275512" }
