Formation Motion Control for Swarm Robots

Fuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time

Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...

Formation Compound Control for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots under Motion Constraints

The formation keeping characteristics for nonholonomic autonomous mobile robots are investigated in this paper. A novel approach of compound control is presented, which deals with the formation task based on two different algorithms: a flexible feedback linearization control algorithm and an optimal approximate target algorithm. And the algorithms are selected according to robot’s expected loca...

Motion Planning Using a Memetic Evolution Algorithm for Swarm Robots

A hierarchical memetic algorithm (MA) is proposed for the path planning and formation control of swarm robots. The proposed algorithm consists of a global path planner (GPP) and a local motion planner (LMP). The GPP plans a trajectory within the Voronoi diagram (VD) of the free space. An MA with a non‐random initial population plans a series of configu...

Formation Control and Path Planning of Two Robots for Tracking a Moving Target

This paper addresses the dynamic path planning for two mobile robots in unknownenvironment with obstacle avoidance and moving target tracking. These robots must form atriangle with moving target. The algorithm is composed of two parts. The first part of thealgorithm used for formation planning of the robots and a moving target. It generates thedesired position for the robots for the next step. ...
