Abstract
This article is concerned with the control of wheeled mobile robots WMRs using a modified variable structure theory First we introduce the dynamic characteristics of a WMR Second conventional variable structure control is reviewed In order to considerably improve the transient response during the reaching phase a modified variable structure control is proposed The validity of the proposed variable structure theory is verified by means of a simulation test on a homemade wheeled mobile vehicle The simulation results validate the superiority and practicality of the modified variable structure for WMRs
