Networked Mobile Robots: An Application Example of the Distributed Event-Based Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The formation control of networked mobile robots is an example of multi-agent systems in which a group of robots can achieve a common objective (the formation) by applying distributed control laws and event-based communications. This chapter gives a description of the problem, some of most common approaches to model these systems, and how the distributed event-triggered policies can be useful to reduce communication. An interactive tool to emulate this kind of setups as well as the results obtained with an experimental platform of mobile robots are also described.
