This paper presents a new control algorithm for the coordinated path following problem of car like vehicles. The vehicles are represented by an extended kinematic bicycle model which includes sideslip angles. A nonlinear control law has been designed using Lyapunov approach, and the controller implementation requires knowledge of sideslip angles. A Raghavan observer is introduced in order to observe...
It is expected that a collision avoidance system based on steering control could help avoid collisions even in cases where a collision cannot be avoided by braking only. For realizing steering-based collision avoidance, accurate environmental recognition and rapid motion planning in a highly dynamic environment are needed. The velocity potential field control method, which was proposed for mobile...
This paper proposes a hierarchical MPC approach to stabilization and autonomous navigation of a formation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), under constraints on motor thrusts, angles and positions, and under collision avoidance constraints. Each vehicle is of quadcopter type and is stabilized by a local linear time-invariant (LTI) MPC controller at the lower level of the control hierarchy around...
This paper introduces a Lyapunov-based control design for circular flocking with collision avoidance of underactuated hovercrafts. The desired flocking is achieved by means of consensus on a coordinate-dependent transformation of vehicle linear velocity in surge and finiteness of a coordination function. The design makes use of linear velocity in surge and angular velocity in yaw as virtual controls...
