Considering input constraints and parameter uncertainty of the nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots, a new control law has been designed in this paper to solve the tracking and stabilization control problems simultaneously. The asymptotic convergence of the stabilization or tracking errors is achieved by a smooth controller with time-varying feedback parameters subject to set conditions. A geometric-based parameter design strategy is employed to overcome the difficulties resulting from input constraints. With the parameter design strategy, the designed parameters satisfy the set conditions and the control inputs stay in the constrained domain. Experimental studies have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control law.
