Mobile robot dynamics is a challenging field on its own, especially due to the variety of the imposed constraints. Delicate stability and control problems that have very often to be faced are due to longitudinal or lateral slip, and to the features of the ground (roughness, etc.). This chapter has the following objectives: (i) to present the general dynamic modeling concepts and techniques of robots, (ii) to study the Newton–Euler and Lagrange dynamic models of differential-drive mobile robots, (iii) to study the dynamics of differential-drive mobile robots with longitudinal and lateral slip, (iv) to derive a dynamic model of car-like wheeled mobile robots, (v) to derive a dynamic model of three-wheel omnidirectional robots, ...
