We propose a method for collision-free motion coordination of a group of unicycle agents. Under constraints on control signals, this method guarantees asymptotic tracking of the reference trajectories of all individual agents. The motion coordination is established by mutual coupling of coordinates of the interacting agents. For stronger couplings, the robustness of motion coordination to perturbations is increased. A collision avoidance algorithm is formulated to gain additional robustness against perturbations. The proposed control method is successfully validated in experiments.Index Terms-Coordinated control, control of non-holonomic systems, stability of nonlinear systems, collision avoidance.
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.
