Abstract In this paper, the implementation and tuning steps of the PID controllers were proposed for the position control of a mobile robot with differential steering. The purpose of this robot was the participation in a European amateur robotics contest, the mobile robot being developed in the Engineering Faculty of Sibiu, Department of Industrial Machines and Equipment. After a brief introduction of the mobile entertainment robot, followed by description of the robot’s different components and traction principles, several principles of tuning the PID controller for the mobile robot are presented. The paper ends with some general conclusions based upon the results obtained from studying the research and considering all the ideas that were introduced.
