Abstract: This paper describes the design and implementation of PID and fuzzy logic controllers for tracking the desired heading angle for a scaled autonomous multi-wheeled combat vehicle (AMWCV). The challenge of designing these control systems is to control the steering of the front four wheels individually in order to obtain the correct heading angle of the vehicle. The performance of the developed controllers is validated in the presence of noise and disturbance in order to evaluate the irrobustness. A processor-in-the-loop (PIL) co-simulation is conducted to permit and achieve amore realistic situation where the developed control algorithms are evaluated while running on a dedicated processor. The obtained results from both simulation and PIL are compared. This comparison will demonstrate the controller effectiveness in tracking the desired heading angles.
