We consider a team of mobile robots equipped with sensors and wireless network cards and the task of navigating to a desired location in a formation. We develop a set of algorithms for (a) discovery; (b) cooperative localization; and (c) cooperative control. Discovery involves the use of sensory information to organize the robots into a mobile network allowing each robot to establish its neighb...

The article presents the research on navigation algorithms of a wheeled mobile robot with use vision mapping system and analysis energy consumption selected algorithms, such as RRT A-star. Obstacle maps were made an RGBW camera, binary occupation also made, which used to determine traffic path. To recreate routes in hardware, programmed Pure Pursuit controller was used. results compared basis f...

In recent years, the use of electric Autonomous Wheeled Mobile Robots (AWMRs) has dramatically increased in transport production chain. Generally, AWMRs must operate for several hours on a single battery charge. Since energy density is limited, efficiency becomes key element improving material transportation performance during manufacturing process. However, consumption influenced by navigation...

We present an open-loop optimal control approach to treat the optimal trajectory planning problem for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots in the presence of kinematics and dynamics of both wheels and manipulators. This method is based on the Pontryagin's minimum principle that by providing a two point boundary value problem is solved the problem. The specific problem considered is that controlli...
