Compatible Formation Set for UAVs with Visual Sensing Constraint

Xiaoli Li, +3 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, if a formation is deemed as compatible under the new concept, a distributed control algorithm could then be developed and applied to steer UAVs to this compatible formation while, simultaneously, keeping each UAV within a visible region of others.

Distributed Consensus-Based Robust Adaptive Formation Control for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots with Partial Known Dynamics

Zhaoxia Peng, +3 more
- 04 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the distributed consensus-based robust adaptive formation control for nonholonomic mobile robots with partially known dynamics, where the multi-robot formation control problem was converted into a state consensus problem.

A design pattern for industrial robot

Jing Li, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: The definition of user-customized configuration design pattern is determined and the implementation approach of this pattern is given through introducing what role industrial robot stakeholders including suppliers, manufacturers, designers and users should play in the pattern.

Formation Control of Multiple Nonholonomic Wheeled Mobile Robots

Xhaoxia Peng
TL;DR: In this paper, a leader-follower formation control for multiple nonholonomic mobile robots is investigated under the backstepping technology, and a bioinspired neurodynamics scheme in the robot controllers, which can solve the impractical velocity jumps problem.

PolyBot: a modular reconfigurable robot

Mark Yim, +2 more
TL;DR: PolyBot is the first robot to demonstrate sequentially two topologically distinct locomotion modes by self-reconfiguration, and as the design evolves the issues of low cost and robustness will be resolved while exploring the potential of modular, self- reconfigurable robots.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "A behaviour-based control architecture for heterogeneous modular, multi-configurable, chained micro-robots" ?

In this paper, the authors present a control solution for chained, modular robots composed of different types of module ( heterogeneous modules ) that can be arranged in different configurations, a feature called multi-configurability.
