Abstract
The previous work presents and analyses some results in path tracking control on complex plane trajectories for a differential wheeled mobile robot. For the same model of the robot, the control uses alternatively two different algorithms. The first one is a bang-bang algorithm and the second is a classical solution in path tracking control. If the path given by the global path planner is a complex trajectory concerning straight lines, circular arcs, quick turning motion or lane change motion, finally the bang-bang algorithm offers better results in accurate and time execution. The results confirm the capability of this tracking method to be practically efficient for general path tracking of a wheeled differential mobile robot.
