A Study of Balanced Circular Formation under Deviated Cyclic Pursuit Strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the study of balanced circular formation for n unicycles agents. It has been presented in the literature that there exists more than one balanced circular formation when the agents are following cyclic pursuit strategy. We modify cyclic pursuit strategy by introducing a parameter called deviation angle with the hope to get unique equilibrium formation. The modified strategy is called deviated cyclic pursuit. Monte Carlo simulations has been carried out to find the range of deviation angle where a unique equilibrium formation exists.

Numerical and Experimental Study on Ratcheting Behavior of Plates with Circular Cutouts under Cyclic Axial Loading
In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...
متن کاملFormation Control of Multi Agent System in Cyclic Pursuit with Varying Inter-Agent Distance
This paper is concerned with formation control of multi-agent system under cyclic pursuit strategy. The object is to control inter-agent distance between the agents heterogeneously. We propose a control algorithm based on bearing angle information of the pursuing agent. The algorithm consist of heading control only. The control law is simple and easy to implement in real world application. The ...
متن کاملTarget Centric Cyclic Pursuit using Bearing Angle Measurements Only
This paper presents a cyclic pursuit based strategy for monitoring a stationary target with multiple autonomous vehicles. The strategy needs only bearing angle information of the target and that of only one of the neighbor vehicle. We have considered simple kinematic model for each vehicle. With the proposed control law, at equilibrium the vehicles get into a rigid polygonal formation which rot...
متن کاملNonlinear Cyclic Pursuit Based Cooperative Target Monitoring
This paper presents a nonlinear cyclic pursuit based target monitoring strategy for a group of autonomous vehicles. The vehicles are modeled as unicycles and are assumed to be heterogeneous. Each vehicle follows the next neighbor as well as the target. The detailed analysis is done for stationary target and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy against a moving target is shown through simu...
متن کاملDistributed Control of Spacecraft Formations via Cyclic Pursuit: Theory and Experiments
In this paper, distributed control policies for spacecraft formations that draw inspiration from the simple idea of cyclic pursuit are studied. First studied are cyclic-pursuit control laws for both singleand double-integrator models in three dimensions. In particular, control laws are developed that only require relative measurements of position and velocity with respect to the two leading nei...
