Control of small formations using shape i coordinates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formations that contain a small number of robots are modeled as controlled Lagrangian systems on Jacobi shape space. This allows a block-structured control of position, orientation and shape of the formation. Feedback control laws are derived using control Lyapunov functions. The controlled dynamics converges to the invariant set where desired shape is achieved. Controllers are implemented in a layered fashion via the extended motion description language(MDLe) system. Group MDLe plans are constructed to allow structured controller design for formations.

متن کاملCounting Critical Formations on a Line
Formation shape control for a collection of point agents is concerned with devising decentralized control laws which ensure that the formation will move so that certain interagent distances approximate prescribed values as closely as possible. Such laws are often derived using steepest descent of a potential function which is invariant under translation and rotation, and then critical formation...
متن کاملSimulating Formations of Non-holonomic Systems with Control Limits along Curvilinear Coordinates
Many games require a method for simulating formations of systems with non-trivial motion constraints, such as aircraft and boats. This paper describes a computationally efficient method for this objective, inspired by solutions in robotics, and describes how to guarantee the satisfaction of the physical constraints. The approach allows a human player to select almost an arbitrary geometric conf...

A rigorous control technique for such an agent-based robotic system may encounter problems of singularity, parameter sensitivity and inter-robot collision. Our proposed approach focuses on the enhancement of robustness as well as collision-free establishment of formations even in the case of singul...
متن کاملFormation shape control based on bearing rigidity
Distance measurements are not the only geometric quantities that can be used for multi-agent formation shape control. Bearing measurements can be used in conjunction with distances. This article employs bearing rigidity for mobile formations, which was developed for robot and sensor network localisation, so that bearings can be used for shape control in mobile formations. The first part of this...
