Path planning of multi-robot systems with cooperation
Anmin Zhu, Simon X. Yang · 2004
In this paper, a novel gated dipole based approach is proposed for path planning of a multi-robot system, where the cooperative control strategy is based on the multi-agent systems. The system stability is guaranteed by a Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed approach is capable of generating collision-free paths for a multi-robot system in various situations, such as robots with different speed, with limited measurable sensor information, and in completely unknown environments. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulation studies.
