In this paper, a two-wheel drive unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) path-following motion control is proposed. The UGV is equipped with encoders to sense angular velocities and a beacon system which provides position and orientation data. Whereas velocities can be sampled at a fast rate, position and orientation can only be sensed at a slower rate.

The communication between controller and plant is performed through Ethernet (TCP/IP) which leads to a Networked Control System. The bandwidth used by the control loop is reduced, compared with the one that needs a conventional control, by using a threshold-based communication.
