Wheeled Robot Formation Control under Uncertainty Including Adaptive Rejection of Harmonic Disturbances with Arbitrary Frequencies

Abstract

James Halivor, Yang Chenguang and Feng Ying

This work addresses an adaptive regulation problem for formation control of uncertain unicycle-like dynamical robots. The control goal is to drive a finite number of robots to a prescribed formation despite the presence of multi-sinusoidal input disturbances of unknown frequencies and despite uncertainties in the unicycle model, (mass and inertia’s are unknown). Numerical Simulations were done to illustrate the viability of the suggested strategy. The only measurements available for control are the orientation of the unicycles and the relative positions and velocities according to a given connectivity graph.
