Abstract

The straight-line path following problem of off-axle tractor-trailers is investigated in this work. First, the robust relative degree approach is used to convert the error model to a linear time-varying one approximately, and then three path-following control laws are constructed based on back-stepping and Lyapunov approaches, guaranteeing asymptotic convergence of the tractor-trailer to the desired straight-line path provided the linear velocity of the tractor is bounded and not convergent to zero. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.
