LbCS navigation controllers of Twining Lagrangian swarm individuals

This paper presents stabilizing velocity controllers for the individuals of two Lagrangian swarms, which navigates from their initial configuration space to their final configuration space, ensuring intra and inter swarm individual collision avoidance. The motion of the individuals is based on Reynold's rules of separation, alignment, and cohesion. Using the three pillars (safety, shortest and smoothest path) of Lyapunov based control scheme (LbCS), the velocity controllers of the individuals of the two swarms are derived from multiple Lyapunov functions. The effectiveness of the controllers is validated through computer simulations.
