A model-predictive approach to formation control of omnidirectional mobile robots
2008
2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
This paper presents a solution to the problem of steering a group of real omnidirectional mobile robots along a given path, while maintaining a desired formation pattern. ...
This problem can be divided into a leader agent subproblem and a follower agent subproblem such that a leader agent follows a given path and each follower agent tracks a trajectory, estimated by using ...
To guarantee control stability, many approaches have been investigated, e.g., using so called terminal region constraints and/or a terminal penalty term. ...

A "constrain and move" approach to distributed object manipulation
2001
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation
Each subtask is assigned to a group of distributed mobile robots. ...
It is noted that weight of the payload can be used by the robots as a natural constraint on the object. ...
Therefore, the constraint forces must span a force plane for a two-dimensional case. There are different ways to place such constraints on an object. ...

Space Partition for Conflict Resolution of Intersecting Flows of Mobile Agents
2007
IEEE transactions on intelligent transportation systems (Print)
The idea of space partition is first demonstrated for two intersecting flows of mobile agents. ...
An online algorithm may find optimal resolution of conflict for a specific set of mobile agents but has to be rerun each time when new agents arrive, whereas a periodic partition of space provides a priori ...
