Robust prescribed performance-based control of autonomous tractor-trailers convoy with limited communication range

Omid Elhaki et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a nonlinear platoon controller design for a group of autonomous tractor-trailers with limited communication ranges, aiming to increase load transportation capacity. By utilizing a prescribed performance strategy, the controller effectively achieves consecutive tractor-trailers to follow each other in a convoy-like formation within the group, ensuring connectivity and avoiding collisions.

Sung Jin Yoo et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the quantized feedback tracker design problem of nonholonomic mobile robots with uncertain nonlinear dynamics in a network environment, proposing low-complexity tracking and stability methodologies based on quantized states to ensure predesignated performance of tracking errors. The research provides a robust tracking scheme using quantized state variables and analyzes the closed-loop stability with a performance guarantee of tracking errors in the Lyapunov sense.

Intelligent coordinated control of an autonomous tractor-trailer and a combine harvester

Khoshnam Shojaei

Summary: This paper proposes a neural adaptive PID tracking controller for autonomous tractor-trailer robot to track a combine harvester with prescribed distance and orientation angle in the presence of model uncertainties for autonomous unloading of harvested cereals in agriculture applications. By effectively applying the prescribed performance technique, the controller ensures non-singularity, collision avoidance, and continuous connectivity between two vehicles. Model uncertainties are compensated by a combination of a multi-layer neural network and an adaptive robust control law, and Lyapunov's direct method is employed to prove that the tracking errors are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and converge to a neighborhood of the origin with a prescribed performance.

Modeling and Motion Control of Industrial Tractor-Trailers Vehicles Using Force Compensation

Hongchao Zhao et al.

Summary: This article introduces the dynamic modeling and trajectory tracking control of industrial tractor-trailers, proposing to simplify the model by monitoring the forces exerted on the tractor in real time. A Lyapunov-based trajectory tracking controller is developed to online compensate the forces and drive the tractor onto the desired trajectory, with robustness and accuracy verified through practical implementations on a full-scale industrial tractor towing several full trailers.
