Background: Autonomous vehicle is a mobile robot integrating multi-sensor navigation and positioning, intelligent decision making and control technology. Path tracking is an important function of an autonomous vehicle. The path-tracking control of an autonomous vehicle is one of the most difficult automation challenges because of the constraints on mobility, speed of motion, high-speed operation, complex interaction with the environment and typically a lack of prior information. A sample open-loop control transfer function that characterizes steering angle input to path error output can be written as function G(s)
G(s)=(34.41s2-10.52s+2419)s2(s2+2.809s+5.295)
Because s=0 is the double pole of the system, the system will be unstable. Therefore, a secondary system function is introduced
H(s)=10s+1
which yields a combined system transfer function H(s)G(s).
Problem #1: Given the following Closed Loop Control System Model for lateral path error (note: no PID is introduced at this point),
Derive the closed-loop system transfer function. Detailed mathematical derivation is required
Find the output response y(t) of the system to a sinusoidal position input r(t)=sin(t), where =4013rad? second. You should:
(1) Plot the initial input function sin(t) and the output response y(t) on the same figure in Matlab for comparison. Ideally, the output y(t) should follow the input sin(t). However, this model does not yield an ideal situation over a long period of time. Try tin[0,2] seconds, tin[0,5] seconds, and tin[0,20], etc.
