Navigation in outdoor terrain is difficult due to lack of easily and uniquely identifiable landmarks. This problem is further complicated for a system with multiple robots navigating a
In this paper, we have addressed some of technical challenges associated with tactical behaviors modeling of a group of Tandem Mobile Robotic Vehicles (TMRV) in unstructured environment. We have discussed intelligent schemes for robust maneuverability control of the TMRV under a Supervisory Mobility Controller. We have considered four tasks of TMRV including: Terrain Navigation, Tandem Mobility Control; Tactical Strategic Formation, and Communication-based Control. We have developed a supervisory mobility controller environment using FMCe11 software with six functional control loop. In this paper, we present and discuss modular and functional architecture of our supervisory mobility controller, in particular, our strategies for separation of supervisory functions according to their complexity, priority, and intelligence requirements. Some examples demonstrating effectiveness and efficiency of the newly developed techniques are presented. We have also discussed how these behaviors can be applied to tandem unmanned ground vehicle systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
