When the wheeled mobile robot (WMR) is required to perform specific tasks in complex environment, i.e., on the forestry, wet, icy ground or on the sharp corner, wheel skidding and slipping inevitably occur during trajectory tracking. To improve the trajectory tracking performance of WMR under unknown skidding and slipping condition, an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) design approach based on the extended state observer (ESO) is presented. The skidding and slipping is regarded as external disturbance. In this paper, the ESO is introduced to estimate the lumped disturbance containing the unknown skidding and slipping, parameter variation, parameter uncertainties, etc. By designing a sliding surface based on the disturbance estimation, an adaptive sliding mode tracking control strategy is developed to attenuate the lumped disturbance. Simulation results show that higher precision tracking and better disturbance rejection of ESO-ASMC is realized for linear and circular trajectory than the ASMC scheme. Besides, experimental results indicate the ESO-ASMC scheme is feasible and effective. Therefore, ESO-ASMC scheme can enhance the energy efficiency for the differentially driven WMR under unknown skidding and slipping condition.
