Neuro-Adaptive Cooperative Tracking Rendezvous of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots

Abstract

This brief proposes a neuro-adaptive method for the unsolved problem of cooperative tracking rendezvous of nonholonomic mobile robots (NMRs) subject to uncertain and unmodelled dynamics. A hierarchical cooperative control framework is proposed, which consists of a novel distributed estimator along with local neuro-adaptive tracking controllers. Rigorous stability analysis as well as simulation experiments illustrate the proposed method.
