In this paper, we show for the first time, how the Direct Method of Lyapunov could be used to construct a Lyapunov function that controls the motion of a mobile manipulator system by guiding it to its goal whilst avoiding obstacles in a priori known workspace. The mobile manipulator, modeled via its kinematic constraints, consists of a coupling of a holonomic manipulator with a nonholonomic mobile base. It is guided to its target by an attraction function that is part of the Lyapunov function. It avoids fixed and artificial obstacles, which are created from the singularities and the kinematic and dynamic constraints in the system, via obstacle avoidance functions that also make up the Lyapunov function. Computer simulations are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed Lyapunov-based method.
