Formation State Estimation and Control
Multi-robot formation feasibility, formation control and formation state estimation have been subject of research at the ISLab since 200.
Formation Feasibility
Formation feasibility given the robot kinematics and geometric constraints among the robots was studied in a journal paper, resulting from a PhD thesis finished in 2002. Novel low-communication, decentralized full-state formation estimation methods were developed and tested in a realistic multi-satellite simulator, under the ESA project FEMDS, and one PhD thesis awaiting defence.
