Distributed Sliding-Mode Formation Controller Design for Multirobot Dynamic Systems

摘要

This paper presents a distributed formation control for multirobot dynamic systems with external disturbances and system uncertainties. First from the Lagrangian analysis, the dynamic model of a wheeled mobile robot can be derived. Then, the robust distributed formation controller is proposed based on sliding-mode control, consensus algorithm, and graph theory. In this study, the robust stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theorem. From the simulation results, the proposed approach provides better formation responses compared to consensus algorithm.
