Leader-follower-based dynamic trajectory planning for multirobot formation

摘要

The present paper presents a new approach to a leaderfollower-based dynamic trajectory planning for multirobot formation. A near-optimal trajectory is generated for each robot in a decentralized manner. The main contributions of the current paper are the proposal of a new objective function that considers both collision avoidance and formation requirement for the trajectory generation, and an analytical solution of trajectory parameters in the trajectory optimization. Simulations and experiments on multirobots are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach to the multirobot formation in a dynamic environment.
