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
We developed a systematic framework for studying formation motion feasibility of multiagent systems. Algebraic conditions that guarantee formation feasibility (i.e., that the specified geometric constraints can be staisfied) given the individual robot kinematics were determined. Our framework also enables us to obtain lower dimensional control systems describing the group kinematics while maintaining all formation constraints.
