Vision-based follow-the-leader

چکیده
We consider the problem of having a group of nonholonomic mobile robots equipped with omnidirectional cameras maintain a desired leader-follower formation. Our approach is to translate the formation control problem from the configuration space into a separate visual servoing task for each follower. We derive the equations of motion of the leader in the image plane of the follower and propose two control schemes for the follower. The first one is based on feedback linearization and is either string stable or leaderto-formation stable, depending on the sensing capabilities of the followers. The second one assumes a kinematic model for the evolution of the leader velocities and combines a Luenberger observer with a linear control law that is locally stable. We present simulation results evaluating our visionbased follow-the-leader control strategies.

Sliding Mode Control for Vision based Leader Following
In this paper a discrete-time sliding mode approach for the control of nonholonomic robots performing a leader following task is presented. The task can be seen as a service task for bringing robots to a working area. Our aim is to design, develop and test a new software and hardware framework for formation and coalition problems in a mobile multi robot scenario. Given a desired robot coalition...

In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...
