On selected features of mobile robot control system

In this paper the results of research of mobile robot control system are presented, namely the quality of regulation with and without on-board velocity controllers taken into account. To verify the behaviour of the control system an time-varying controller was chosen which has nontrivial computing requirements. The algorithm's parameters used to control real object were set during simulations performed with described controller. The control system consists of kinematic oscillator algorithm implemented in real time operating system (RTAI Linux) and PI on-board controllers. Experimental results were obtained on a new mobile robot platform, Mini-Tacker 3.0.
