Abstract
Quantum computing has garnered significant interest in robotics applications over the past few years. Demonstrating its superiority over traditional methods, it has shown many advantages in precision, rapid computation, and robustness for Manipulators and cell robots. In this paper, a remote control-based quantum computation tool is presented to ensure the trajectory tracking of a car-like mobile robot. In the proposed architecture, remote communication between the robot and the controller is achieved using quantum teleportation circuits. The controller is a classic PID controller, with its parameters optimized using a quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The control scheme's performance is estimated using the root mean square error (RMSE), calculated from the tracking error, which is the difference between the reference position and the actual position of the robot. Simulation results show that the quantum-inspired PSO-based optimization of the PID controller yielded better performance in terms of prompt convergence and stability. Quantum teleportation also provided high accuracy when transferring control signals and measurement data. This work demonstrates that it is feasible to use quantum computing tools to enhance the real-time performance of long-distance, remotely controlled robotic systems, and that such telecontrol is inherently possible even at great distances or in hostile environments.
