This paper addresses the problem of practical fixed-time trajectory tracking for wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) subject to kinematic disturbances and input saturation. Firstly, considering the under-actuated characteristics of the WMR systems, the WMR model under kinematic disturbances is transformed into a two-input two-output interference system by using ...
