In this paper, we study distributed rendezvous strategies for multiple nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots with the aim of testing their practicality on real robots. Control strategies using just bearings-only or range-only measurements are investigated. For the bearings-only case, we recall two control laws presented in our previous study. For the range-only case, we first propose rendezvous control laws for a two-robot system and prove the global convergence results for this specific case. Then these range-only based controllers are extended to a N-robot system. Experimental results illustrate the applicability and performance of the proposed control strategies for multiple wheeled-robot systems.
