Analysis of Indistinguishable Trajectories of a Nonholonomic Vehicle Subject to Range Measurements
We propose a global constructibility analysis for a vehicle moving on a planar surface. Assuming that the vehicle follows a trajectory that can be uniquely identified by the sequence of control inputs and by some intermittent ranging measurements from known points in the environment, we can model the trajectory as a rigid body subject to rotation and translation in the plane. This way, the localisation problem can be reduced to finding the conditions for the existence of a unique roto-translation of the trajectory from a known reference frame to the world reference frame, given the collected measurements. As discussed in this paper, such conditions can be expressed in terms of the shape of the trajectory, of the layout of the ranging sensors, and of the numbers of measurements collected from each of them. The approach applies to a large class of kinematic models. Focusing on the special case of unicycle kinematics, we provide additional local constructibility results.

Learning the Rolling Penny Dynamics
We consider learning the dynamics of a typical nonholonomic system -- the rolling penny. A nonholonomic system is a system subject to nonholonomic constraints. Unlike a holonomic constraints, a nonholonomic constraint do…
Zero-Error Tracking for Autonomous Vehicles through Epsilon-Trajectory Generation
This paper presents a control method and trajectory planner for vehicles with first-order nonholonomic constraints that guarantee asymptotic convergence to a time-indexed trajectory. To overcome the nonholonomic constrai…

In this paper, a novel obstacle avoidance method is designed and applied to an experimental autonomous ground vehicle system. The proposed method brings a new solution to the problem and has several advantages compared t…
Nonholonomic Narrow Dead-End Escape with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Nonholonomic constraints restrict feasible velocities without reducing configuration-space dimension, which makes collision-free geometric paths generally non-executable for car-like robots. Ackermann steering further im…
