Slide-Down Prevention for Wheeled Mobile Robots on Slopes [PDF]
Wheeled mobile robots on inclined terrain can slide down due to loss of traction and gravity. This type of instability, which is different from tip-over, can provoke uncontrolled motion or get the vehicle stuck.

Dynamic Arc Fitting Path Follower for Skid-Steered Mobile Robots [PDF]
Many applications, such as surveillance, inspection or search and rescue operations, can be performed with autonomous robots. Our aim is a control of modular autonomous systems in rescue robotics. One of the basic problems with autonomous robotics is the execution part where the control commands (translation and rotational velocities) are produced for
