A bstract The omnidirectional drive is a popular challenging trend in today's mobile robotics
where different areas such as swarm, humanoid, legged, train-based, underwater, air flying …

To effectively improve system autonomy, increase fault-tolerant resilience, solve low payload
capacity and short endurance time of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), there's a trend to …

Developing a safe and efficient collision-avoidance policy for multiple robots is challenging
in the decentralized scenarios where each robot generates its paths with limited observation …

This paper proposes a decentralized behavior-based formation control algorithm for multiple
robots considering obstacle avoidance. Using only the information of the relative position of …

This paper addresses the problem of steering a single or a group of autonomous
nonholonomic mobile robots to enclose a target of interest. We develop control schemes …

In this paper, a neural-dynamic optimization-based nonlinear model predictive control
(NMPC) is developed for controlling leader-follower mobile robots formation. Consider …

This paper considers a leader-follower formation control problem of nonholonomic vehicles
of unicycle-type subject to velocity constraints. The velocity constraints of each vehicle are …

An adaptive self-organizing map (SOM) neural network method is proposed for distributed
formation control of a group of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). This method …

This paper addresses the formation control problem for fleets of autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs). The solution is based on the virtual leader approach, with the main goal of …
