Nonholonomic Control-Systems - From Steering to Stabilization with Sinusoids
We present a control law for globally asymptotically stabilizing a class of controllable nonlinear systems without drift. The control law converts into closed loop feedback earlier strategies for open loop steering of non-holonomic systems using sinusoids at integrally related frequencies. The global result is obtained by introducing saturation functions. Simulation results for stabilizing a simple kinematic model of an automobile are included.
