Abstract: In this paper, a robust adaptive controller design method for non-holonomic mobile robots with the state depended uncertainties in the non-holonomic constraints is proposed. The considered uncertainties are Lipschitz. The designed robust adaptive controller is rather a simple structure, since it has only one adaptive adjusting term which is a feedback gain designed based on high gain technique. Further, the controller achieves not only the stability of the controlled system but also convergence to a small region around origin by increasing the design parameters.

Keywords: adaptive control; uncertain constraints; uncertainty; non-holonomic constraints; high gain feedback; robust control; non-holonomic robots; mobile robots; robot control.
