Constrained Model Predictive Control of a skid-steering mobile robot [PDF]
2009 European Control Conference (ECC), 2009 In this paper, a kinematic model of a four-wheel skid-steering mobile robot is presented and a receding horizon stabilizing control law for the system is developed, based on the optimization of a quadratic cost function on the system states and control inputs.

Robust digital control for autonomous skid-steered agricultural robots
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2018 There are two main issues to consider when designing a controller for autonomous off-road vehicles: velocity and terrain irregularities. Whereas the first one is measurable, the second one is very difficult to determine. Solutions to cover these issues could be very complex and difficult to implement in an embedded system with limited resources.
