A Receding-horizon Formation Tracking Controller with Leader-follower Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a receding-horizon leader-follower (RH-LF) controller for addressing the formation control problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots. The issues to be investigated include separation, bearing, and orientation deviation control between the leader and the followers, where the orientation deviation control is especially important to control precision. After the leader-follower formation problem is posed to a formation tracking problem, a receding-horizon formation tracking controller is proposed, which guarantees asymptotic convergence of the formation tracking error to zero. Simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Dynamical formation control of wheeled mobile robots based on fuzzy logic
In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
متن کاملTracking Formation Control for Multiple Quadrotors Based on Fuzzy Logic Controller and Least Square Oriented by Genetic Algorithm
This paper studies the leader-follower formation control for multiple quadrotors. Two controllers are used. The first one is a proportional derivative controller used to ensure the tracking of the leader to the desired trajectory, while the second is based on fuzzy logic in order to achieve the desired formation in ! − ! plane with equal height (!) for all follower quadrotors. In order to ensur...
متن کاملSliding mode formation tracking control of a tractor and trailer-car system
In this paper a new leader-follower formation of nonholonomic mobile robots is studied. The follower is a car-like vehicle and the leader is a tractor pulling a trailer. The leader moves along assigned trajectories and the follower is to maintain a desired distance and orientation to the trailer. A sliding mode control scheme is proposed for asymptotically stabilizing the vehicles to a time-var...
متن کاملLeaderless Formation Control for Multiple Autonomous Vehicles
Accurate maintenance of a geometric configuration between multiple autonomous vehicles can often accomplish objectives impossible for a single vehicle. Much work on formation control in the current literature relies on the leader-follower approach, where some vehicles are designated as leaders while others are designated as followers. The leaders track predefined trajectories, and the followers...
