Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Stability of Unicycle-Like Robots: The Bessel’s ControllerAndrés G. GarcíaAsymptotic stability of unicycle-like robots proved to be involved due to Brockett's condition. By using a smooth, time-invariant controller constructed out of Bessel’s functions, in this paper unicycle-like robots are uniformly-exponentially stabilized to the origin. The pure feedback controller obtained provides closed-form trajectories with the possibility of a simple and feasible (hardware) non-linear observer construction from posture angle measurements solely. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2020 · 7,304 accessesView PDF Cite
