The motion generation module is implemented internally by a trajectory tracking system and a reference linear speed of the two-wheeled mobile robot. The trajectory tracking system contains a reference trajectory generated by the trajectory generator block as one of the data inputs of the array. Figure 20 depicts this module.

The model considered is that of a unicycle mobile robot (see Fig. 5.2) that has two driving wheels fixed to the axis and one passive orientable wheel that is placed in front of the axis and normal to it [ 19]. 

It is assumed that the motion of the passive wheel can be ignored from the dynamics of the mobile robot, which is represented by the following set of equations [14] ... 

Notice that the no-slip condition imposed a nonholonomic constraint described by (5.3), that it means that the mobile robot can only move in the direction normal to the axis of the driving wheels. 

Mobile Robots Is atype of robot whose movements are not limited to the sum of the length of each of its elements, this means that these robots don t have a typical workspace defined for the movement. The most common mobile robots are those that include wheels depending on how these are configured (position, number) there are different ways and degrees of freedom for the robot motion. 

The formulation is developed for a mobile robot with four wheels as shown in Figure 1. In this model, the front wheels perform as signal wheels and the back wheels steer. 

Where P is the position of the back wheels in space, (x(if), y (t)) is defined by the inclination of the vehicle 9(t) respecting coordinated axes. The robot moves with a speed v(t) and the orientation of the front wheels is defined by the variable cp (t). As is supposed, the system does not present slipping during its movement, therefore the mobile robot kinematic model is described by Equation (4) ... 

Equation (4) shows lliat a mobile robot is represent in a non-linear equation system, where I is the distance between the front and back wheels. The inputs of the system, (t) and (t) represents the vehicle system v (t) and orientation of the front wheels (t). It is a flat system and the flat outputs are the position of back wheels in two-dimensional space (x(t), y(t)). In this way. 

This chapter presents the implementation of a virtual environment for simulation and conception of supervision and control systems for mobile robots and is focuses on the study of the mobile robot platform, with differential driving wheels mounted on the same axis and a free castor front wheel, whose protot5q)e is used to validate the proposal system, as depicted in Figure 1. 

It is necessary to mathematically model the mobile robot to extract the equation and algorithms that will be used in the simulator s blocks This section is going to provide this model. The mobile robot has differential driving wheels with nonholonomic restrictions as well as a wheelchair. Both have the same restrictions and can be modeled by the same equations. 

Even so, the wheelchair executes the proposed trajectory with success. We can see errors between the two trajectories, however, mainly on curves. It was foreseen on simulator of the Cartesian traj ectory kinematics and dynamics of the wheelchair, depicted on Figure 23 with the trajectory error on Figure 24. Those errors are predictable for the simulator because of the intrinsic dynamic characteristic of nonholonomic mobile robotics systems with differential drive wheels, with which the prototype was made, and for the PID close-loop controller ofwheel velocity axles. This example shows the need for an efficient virtual system which we propose in this work. 

Traction in the four wheels enable this umbilical-cable powered mobile robot to climb walls from the ground, controlled through wireless systems like Xbee.

The term robotics refers to the science of designing and using robots. There are many types of robots. Some are mobile most of these are on wheels, but a few actually have the ability to walk. Other robots are stationary and do repetitive work on assembly lines. Most industrial robots are fixed in one place and dedicated to one specific job. Industrial robots are often nothing more than an arm with a gripper or some type of tool on the end of an arm. 

It is possible for robot to reach any hazardous field unlike who have limited mobility in such missions. Nowadays legged and wheeled robots are involved in such mission (Habib, 2000), (Y. Mori, 2005), (Rizo J, 2003), (Y. Baudoin, 1999). In terms of hazardous field navigation for disaster recovery mission, legged robots have advantages over wheeled robots.
