Abstract

We present a newapproach to developing hybrid feedback policies for the control of systems with nonholonomic constraints.We extend the idea of sequential composition and use it to to switch between controllers in a state based manner, resulting in a globally convergent, pure feedback policy. Individual controllers in the palette are inspired by variable constraint control. We solve a vision guided unicycle navigation problem and present experimental results.
