Abstract

A detailed approach for a linear Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and a non-linear controller - Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is discussed in this paper. By analyzing several mathematical designs for the Skid Steer Mobile Robot (SSMR), the controllers are implemented in an embedded microcontroller - Mbed LPC1768. To verify the controllers, MATLAB-Simulink is used for the simulation of both the controllers involving motors - Maxon RE40. This paper compares between PID and LQR controller along with the performance comparison between Homogenous and Non-Homogenous LQR controllers.
