Coordinated path following of unicycles : A nested invariant sets approach
Abstract
We formulate a coordinated path following problem for N unicycle mobile robots as an instance of a nested set stabilization
problem. Stabilization of the first set corresponds to driving the unicycles to their assigned paths. Stabilization of the second
set, a subset of the first, corresponds to meeting the coordination specification. The first set is stabilized in a decentralized
manner using feedback linearization. For arbitrary coordination tasks we utilize feedback linearization to stabilize the nested
set in a centralized manner. In the special case in which coordination entails making the unicycles maintain a formation along
their paths, we propose semi-distributed control law under less restrictive communication assumptions. Experimental results
are provided.
