Robot Navigation Based on Discrimination of Artificial Fields: Application to Robot Formations
Santiago Cifuentes, José M. Girón-Sierra, Juan F. Jiménez · Advanced Robotics · 2012
In the preceding paper, a method for mobile robot navigation control based on discrimination of multiple artificial fields was introduced. In this second paper, the method is extended to robot formations. Experimental demonstrations are presented taking examples of four types of formations. The experiments cover formation initialization, maneuvering, obstacle avoidance and formation switching.
