Stable Swarm Formation Control Using Onboard Sensor Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a stable leader-following formation control for multiple mobile robot systems with limited sensor information is studied. The proposed algorithm is to control a robot (follower) to follow another robot (leader), and easily extended to form any complex formation. The control algorithm requires information available from onboard sensors only, and utilizes estimation of leader’s acceleration in a simple form to reduce measurement of indirect information. There is also a rule to tune parameters of control in application.

Formation Flight of Multiple UAVs via Onboard Sensor Information Sharing
To monitor large areas or simultaneously measure multiple points, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) must be flown in formation. To perform such flights, sensor information generated by each UAV should be shared via communications. Although a variety of studies have focused on the algorithms for formation flight, these studies have mainly demonstrated the performance of formation flight u...

The area of collective and cooperative behaviour in swarm robots is an exciting field of study. Recent technological and economic developments have made it possible to build medium to large scale swarms of quite sophisticated mobile robots. We review recent mobile computing technologies and describe our architecture for a swarm of tri-wheeled robots that can exchange information via wireless ar...
متن کاملConnectivity of Collaborative Robots in Partially Observable Domains
Collaborative information processing is vital for a swarm of robots tasked with many different applications. Swarm connectivity is necessary for achieving good collaboration. Our approach to this is a physics-based autonomous robot framework that acts as a distributed mobile sensor network that is capable of maintaining high connectivity during self-organization and movement. The framework, cal...
