Taming inter-distance mismatches in formation-motion control for rigid formations of second-order agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the analysis on the influence of distance mismatches on the standard gradient-based rigid formation control for second-order agents. It is shown that, similar to the first-order case as recently discussed in the literature, these mismatches introduce two undesired group behaviors: a distorted final shape and a steady-state motion of the group formation. We show that such undesired behaviors can be eliminated by combining the standard formation control law with distributed estimators. Finally, we show how the mismatches can be effectively employed as design parameters in order to control a combined translational and rotational motion of the formation.

Decentralized Formation Control Part I: Geometric Aspects
In this paper, we develop new methods for the analysis of decentralized control systems and we apply them to formation control problems. The basic set-up consists of a system with multiple agents represented by the nodes of a directed graph whose edges represent an available communication channel for the agents. We address the question of whether the information flow defined by the graph is suf...
متن کاملMinimization of the effect of noisy measurements on localization of multi-agent autonomous formations
This paper considers the problem of reduction of self-localization errors in multi-agent autonomous formations when only distance measurements are available to the agents in a globally rigid formation. It is shown that there is a relationship between different selections of anchors, agents with exactly known positions, and the error induced by measurement error on localization solution. This fa...
متن کاملInformation Structures to Secure Control of Rigid Formations with Leader-Follower Structure
This paper is concerned with rigid formations of mobile autonomous agents using a leader-follower structure. A formation is a group of agents moving in real 2or 3dimensional space. A formation is called rigid if the distance between each pair of agents does not change over time under ideal conditions. Sensing/communication links between agents are used to maintain a rigid formation. Two agents ...
متن کاملRobustness issues in double-integrator undirected rigid formation systems
In this paper we consider rigid formation control systems modelled by double integrators (including formation stabilization systems and flocking control systems), with a focus on their robustness property in the presence of distance mismatch. By introducing additional state variables we show the augmented double-integrator distance error system is self-contained, and we prove the exponential st...
متن کاملGeneralised Rigidity and Path-Rigidity for Agent Formations
The classical concept of rigidity characterises conditions under which distance constraints between agents in R enforce a rigid structure on the whole collection of agents. The present paper has two goals. Firstly, we propose a generalised theory for rigidity to allow heterogeneous agent states on non-Euclidean spaces and general non-linear relative state constraints. To do this, we characteris...
