“…Recently, many interesting theoretical results on the formation control of mobile robots have been reported by the researchers in the literature 12–21 . Based on a deep literature review by the author including, 1–33 the following shortcomings are evident in the previous works: - According to a careful review of the literature including, 1–33 the majority of the literature is devoted to the formation control of differentially driven wheeled mobile robots which is a particular case of nonholonomic type ( m , s ) WMRs, that is, type (2, 0) robot. Since design of the previously proposed controllers is dependent on robot's kinematic model, they could not be applied to other types of mobile robots with different steerability, mobility, and kinematic models.
