Design and simulation of control systems for a field survey mobile robot platform

Agricultural mobile robots involve automatic and accurate control of different moving parts such as wheel speed and steering. The design challenges of a control system in this regard are the response overshoot, shorter settling time and smaller steady state error. Three controllers, including lead-l...
