Switching adaptive control of mobile robots

A novel tracking and positioning adaptive control for mobile robots is designed using Lyapunov theory. Then, a switching control that changes the parameter updating law is used to improve the adaptive control in the sense of reducing high accelerations of the robot and avoiding the parameter drifting. Experimental results show a good performance of the adaptive control and its improvement with the switching control.
