Experimental Analysis of Collective Circular Motion for Multi-vehicle Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an experimental analysis of a recently proposed decentralized control strategy, for collective circular motion of a team of nonholonomic vehicles. Theoretical results ensuring global asymptotic stability in the single-vehicle case and local asymptotic stability in the multi-vehicle scenario, are validated on an experimental setup including the mobile robots Pioneer 3AT and Nomad XR4000. In addition, the role of the control law parameters is discussed and a design procedure is proposed.

Collective circular motion of multi-vehicle systems
This paper addresses a collective motion problem for a multi-agent system composed of nonholonomic vehicles. The aim of the vehicles is to achieve circular motion around a virtual reference beacon. A control law is proposed, which guarantees global asymptotic stability of the circular motion with a prescribed direction of rotation, in the case of a single vehicle. Equilibrium configurations of ...
