Abstract

Consistency problem is a basic problem in the field of collaborative control of multi-robot systems. Aiming at the problem of formation forming and formation keeping of multi-mobile robots, this paper presents a leader-follower formation control method which integrates path planning and trajectory tracking. This method effectively solves the problem of multi-robots cooperating to achieve the goal. In this paper, the coordinated control of nonholonomic constraints wheeled robot systems is study. Firstly, a mathematical model of nonholonomic constraint conditions is established for a wheeled robot. Secondly, through the global coordinates transformation, leader-following model is converted to a local coordinate system error model. Finally, a reasonable formation moving control protocol for multi-robot systems with leader-follower is set up. By setting the parameters of the PID control strategy, the feasibility and effectiveness of the leader-following control strategy of multi-robot systems is illustrated.
