Ackerman Model for a Six-Wheeled Robot (ACM1PT)

Abstract:

The article is aimed at presenting the development of a kinematic model for the control of a mobile robot 6 wheel, all with both traction and rotation, the Ackerman model was chosen because the robot will move through paths designed for cars, and as it avoids slipping. Two models of simulation in MATLAB, one in continuous and one discrete space are also presented
