Control and hardware aspects of mobile-robot (MR) design are examined in reviews and reports of recent theoretical and experimental investigations. Sections are devoted to mobility systems, control strategies, autonomous land vehicles, navigation, vision systems, path planning, and applications. Topics addressed include power and propulsion systems for MRs, arbitration of multiple control strategies for MRs, detection and control of MR motion by real-time computer vision, a curvature-based scheme for improving road-vehicle guidance by computer vision, single-landmark navigation by MRs, optimal-trajectory control of a robotic vehicle, an avoidance system for moving obstacles, and mobility control for planetary rovers.
