Abstract

This Effective motion control is critical for Surface Mobility Platform (SMP) mobile robots, especially when navigating diverse terrains. This paper focuses on motion control system of a four-wheeled SMP mobile robot powered by four DC motors. The research aims to improve speed regulation and trajectory tracking, addressing the challenges posed by various surface types. The robot's speed and performance were tested and analysed under a range of environmental conditions, including smooth and uneven surfaces. A differential drive kinematic model, integrated with a PID controller, is employed to control the robot's motion and trajectory, allowing it to adjust to changing surface conditions. The PID controller, in combination with the kinematic model, is used to regulate motor inputs, ensuring consistent speed and accurate trajectory tracking despite the varying demands of each terrain. This approach enhances the mobile robot's adaptability and overall performance, ensuring reliable operation across different environmental conditions and terrain types.
