A Decentralized Approach to Elementary Formation Maneuvers

چکیده
This paper presents the coupled dynamics approach to executing Elementary Formation Maneuvers (EFM) for Hilare-type mobile robots. The concept of an EFM is presented. It is then shown that each of these EFMs posses a common mathematical structure and thus may be executed by the same type of robot control. We present three di erent EFM controls in this paper. The rst puts feedback on the relative motion and the global motion of each robot. The second control adds inter-robot damping. And the third control uses saturated inputs on the relative motion and the global motion of each robot. We present simulation and hardware results for each of these controls.

متن کاملDecentralized control of satellite formations
A decentralized architecture is proposed for autonomous establishment and maintenance of satellite formations. Such an architecture does not require a central supervisor, as the spacecraft can cooperatively track planned maneuvers and trajectories in the face of disturbances and uncertainties, while processing only local measurement information. If the planned maneuvers and trajectories are the...
متن کاملA decentralized approach to formation maneuvers
This paper presents a behavior-based approach to formation maneuvers for groups of mobile robots. Complex formation maneuvers are decomposed into a sequence of maneuvers between formation patterns. The paper presents three formation control strategies. The first strategy uses relative position information configured in a bidirectional ring topology to maintain the formation. The second strategy...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Multiple Quadrotors for Transporting a Common Payload
This paper investigates the problem of controlling a team of Quadrotors that cooperatively transport a common payload. The main contribution of this study is to propose a cooperative control algorithm based on a decentralized algorithm. This strategy is comprised of two main steps: the first one is calculating the basic control vectors for each Quadrotor using Moore–Penrose theory aiming at coo...
متن کاملApplication of Synchronization to Formation Flying Spacecraft: Lagrangian Approach
This article presents a unified synchronization framework with application to precision formation flying spacecraft. Central to the proposed innovation, in applying synchronization to both translational and rotational dynamics in the Lagrangian form, is the use of the distributed stability and performance analysis tool, called contraction analysis that yields exact nonlinear stability proofs. T...
