Trajectory tracking for non-holonomic vehicles: overview and case study

The paper provides an overview of trajectory tracking problems for non-holonomic vehicles. Several control objectives are reviewed and discussed with the viewpoints of control design and robotics applications. In order to illustrate and compare different approaches, explicit control laws and simulation results are provided for a car-like vehicle.
