Gyroscopic Forces and Collision Avoidance with Convex Obstacles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces gyroscopic forces as an tool that can be used in addition to the use of potential forces in the study of collision and convex obstacle avoidance. It makes use of the concepts of a detection shell and a safety shell and shows, in an appropriate context, that collisions are avoided, while at the same time guaranteeing that control objectives determined by a potential function are met. In related publications, we refine and extend the method to include flocking and swarming behavior.

Gyroscopic Obstacle Avoidance in 3-D
The paper studies gyroscopic obstacle avoidance for autonomous vehicles. The goal is to obtain a simple controller that steers around obstacles and stabilizes to a desired state. The approach is applicable under the assumption that the obstacles are convex and that the control inputs can generate the required steering forces. This work extends the existing gyroscopic obstacle avoidance methodol...

Motivated by the design of a future autonomous, decentralized air traffic management system for runway-independent aircraft, a biologically-inspired reactive collision avoidance algorithm is developed for a simple model of managing multiple vehicle systems. Techniques using gyroscopic forces and scalar potentials result in all vehicles arriving at their destinations within a reasonable time, wi...
متن کاملDecentralized Control of Swarms with Collision Avoidance Implications
The paper reviews some approaches to the decentralized control of a swarm of unmanned vehicles, and then proposes a new algorithm capable of managing collisions between vehicles and with obstacles. The swarm goal is to achieve a desired shape and position in space, formalized using an abstraction based approach. Formation statistics are defined in analogy with phisical bodies: center of mass po...
متن کاملSafe Autonomous Agent Formation Operations via Obstacle Collision Avoidance
In this paper, we consider the problem of flocking and shape-orientation control of multi-agent systems with inter-agent and obstacle collision avoidance. We first consider the problem of forcing a set of autonomous agents to form a desired formation shape and orientation while avoiding inter-agent collision and collision with convex obstacles, and following a trajectory known to only one of th...
