Multi-target localization and circumnavigation by a single agent using bearing measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the problem of localization and circumnavigation of a group of targets, which are either stationary or moving slowly with unknown speed, by a single agent. An estimator is proposed, initially for the stationary target case, to localize the targets and the center of mass of them as well as a control law that forces the agent to move on a circular trajectory around the center of mass of the targets such that both the estimator and the controller are exponentially stable. Then the case where the targets might experience slow but possibly steady movements is studied. The system inputs include the agent’s position and the bearing angles to the targets. The performance of the proposed algorithms is verified through simulations. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Efficiency of Target Location Scenarios in the Multi-Transmitter Multi-Receiver Passive Radar
Multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar, which locates target in the surveillance area by the reflected signals of the available opportunistic transmitter from the target, is of interest in many applications. In this paper, we investigate different signal processing scenarios in multi-transmitter multi-receiver passive radar. These scenarios include decentralized processing of reference ...
متن کاملDistributed event-triggered control for collective target localization and circumnavigation
This thesis is concerned with accomplishing a localization and circumnavigation mission with a network of autonomous mobile agents. An estimate algorithm and a decentralized control law are designed, such that every agent estimates the position of a target, and the mobile agents eventually exhibit persistent rotations about the target at a desired distance, while forming a regular polygon aroun...
متن کاملDecentralized and Cooperative Multi-Sensor Multi-Target Tracking With Asynchronous Bearing Measurements
Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...
متن کاملMulti-agent formation control for target tracking and circumnavigation missions
In this thesis, we study a problem of target tracking and circumnavigation with a network of autonomous agents. We propose a distributed algorithm to estimate the position of the target and to drive the agents to rotate around the target while forming a regular polygon and keeping a desired distance from it. We formally show that the algorithm attains exponential convergence of the agents to th...
متن کاملEffects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
