In this study, a model for wheeled mobile robots that includes a static friction model in the force balance at the robot's center of mass is presented. Additionally, a least-squares method to linearly combine functions is proposed to estimate the friction coefficients. The experimental and simulation results are discussed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in indoor environments for two floor types.
