Cooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Authors
Abstract:
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no suitable platform for landing or the agent is not able to reach another place for landing. The goal is to create a specific formation pattern by a group of mobile robots that are smaller than the aerial agent, so that it can land on them. Each of the mobile robots is equipped with flat grid landing pad in its upper part so that when the robots approach each other and form a specific geometric arrangement (such as a pentagon), the landing pads are connected to each other and create a wider platform for landing. Cooperative control of agents (from aerial agent control to mobile robot formation control) is the main goal of this article, which is presented in different dynamic models under directed graph along with proof of Lyapunov-based stability analysis.

Fuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time
Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...

Quadrotor UAVs are one of the most preferred type of small unmanned aerial vehicles because of the very simple mechanical construction and propulsion principle. However, the nonlinear dynamic behavior requires a more advanced stabilizing control and guidance of these vehicles. In addition, the small payload reduces the amount of batteries that can be carried and thus also limits the operating r...

We address the problem of cooperative transportation of a cable-suspended payload by multiple quadrotors. In previous work, quasi-static models have been used to study this problem. However, these approaches are severely limited because they ignore the payload dynamics, and do not explicitly model the underactuation in the control problem. Thus, there are no guarantees on the payload trajectory...

In this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. The designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. The attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (SMC) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...
