Formated Navigation of Mobile Robots Using Distributed Leader-follower Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a formated navigation based on the leader-follower approach. In this approach, the control law of the follower robot includes the states of the leader robot. This is a drawback for implementing the control laws on real mobile robots. To overcome this drawback, this paper proposes a new follower’s control law, called the self-made follower input, in which the state of the leader robot is estimated by the relative equation between the leader and the follower robots in the discrete-time domain. On the other hand, a control law of the leader robot is designed with a chained system to track a given reference path. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is demonstrated in numerical simulation. Copyright c 2005 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, ...
متن کاملCoordinated Control Of Mobile Robots Based On Artificial Vision
This work presents a control strategy for coordination of multiple robots based on artificial vision to measure the relative posture between them, in order to reach and maintain a specified formation. Given a leader robot that moves about an unknown trajectory with unknown velocity, a controller is designed to maintain the robots following the leader at a certain distance behind, by using visua...
متن کاملA Hybrid System Simulation for Formation Control of Wheeled Mobile Robots:An Application of Artificial Potential Field and Kinematic Controller
This paper proposes a novel hybrid formation control technique for a group of differentially driven wheeled mobile robots in the Leader-Follower framework. In the proposed method, the leader robot of the group plans its path of navigation by an artificial potential field and the follower robots plan their path in order to follow the leader robot by maintaining a particular formation employing t...
متن کاملLeader-follower formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots with input constraints
The paper deals with leader-follower formations of nonholonomic mobile robots, introducing a formation control strategy alternative to those existing in the literature. Robots control inputs are forced to satisfy suitable constraints that restrict the set of leader possible paths and admissible positions of the follower with respect to the leader. A peculiar characteristic of the proposed strat...
متن کاملRobot Formation Control in Leader-Follower Motion Using Direct Lyapunov Method
In this paper, we investigate the leader-following based formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots. We present a new kinematics model for the leader-follower system using Cartesian coordinates. Based on this new model and the direct Lyapunov method, a globally stable controller is derived for the whole system. Simulation results are included to verify the feasibility of the proposed model...
