Path Planning in Mobile Robots
In this lab, we are only concerned with software simulations to test optimal control design,
therefore, steps to design the control system are not described here. However, initial and final
equations obtained for the systems are as follows:
Optimal control

Computer Simulation
In practical situations, the optimal control should be simulated to ensure that it results in acceptable
system behavior before it is applied to the physical system. Write a MATLAB® program for control
system designed above to find optimal control, state trajectory and performance index for given
parameters. Give the state trajectory and optimal control plots and analyze. Also, solve for guess values
of control function 𝑢𝑘 and compare the corresponding plots (on same figure) of state trajectory and
control function with optimal values, as well as value of performance index. Take initial state 𝑥0 = 0
and a desired final state of 𝑥𝑛 = 𝑟𝑁 = 10, system parameters a=0.99, b=0.2, and N=100.
