Abstract

The control methodology we propose for a nonholonomic electric two-wheeled vehicle combines autonomous control and man-machine-cooperative control. “Autonomous control” is designed using time-state control to reduce vehicle deviation from a guidance line. “Man-machine-cooperative control” is designed using impedance control to generate power to assist user maneuvers. Experiments demonstrate the usefulness of our proposed design.
