Motion control is one of the most intensively developing areas that require a constant development of theory and applications.

Nowadays one of the most topical problems is control of nonlinear multiply connected systems functioning autonomously under the conditions of uncertain parameters and disturbances and at presence of stationary and mobile obstacles. This problem doesn’t have a proper solution yet. The most important level for the operation of autonomous objects is the motion planning level that should ensure setting the intermediary goals and operation of the vehicle in the environment with stationary and mobile obstacles.

So, the application of the described structure in implementation of a position-path control system allows for a comprehensive implementation of the controller level and of a number of functions of the planning level. Besides, the position-path control systems provide an effective coupling of the planner with the controller level.

There are a number of factors that cause problems in synthesis and implementation of the mentioned control systems. The first one is the separation of the initially multiply connected models of the controlled plants. On one hand this simplifies synthesis and the structure of control system, but on the other hand it holds back from achieving the required performance criteria of the closed-loop system. The second factor giving the possibility to organize the effective motion of a vehicle is the absence of effective methods of coupling the motion planning systems (strategic control level) with the tactical (controller) level.

Features of Position-Path Control based on Unstable Modes

Application fields: systems of path-planning for mobile robots functioning in open space, in the air, in the water, and on the ground.

Distinctive features: setting the requirements to the motion path by linear and quadratic forms ensuring asymptotic stability of the planned paths in the normal functioning mode; artificial transition of the controlled plants into unstable modes by means of bifurcation parameters as a technique of getting out of complicated situations.

Advantages over other methods: low volume of a priory data, no need for mapping, implementation simplicity, coupling of the motion planning systems (strategic control level) with the tactical (controller) level.
