In this paper, we addressed the problem of controlling the position of a group of unicycle-type robots to follow in formation a time-varying reference avoiding obstacles when needed. We propose a kinematic control scheme that, unlike existing methods, is able to simultaneously solve the both tasks involved in the problem, effectively combining control laws devoted to achieve formation tracking and obstacle avoidance. The main contributions of the paper are twofold: first, the advantages of the proposed approach are not all integrated in existing schemes, ours is fully distributed since the formulation is based on consensus including the leader as part of the formation, scalable for a large number of robots, generic to define a desired formation, and it does not require a global coordinate system or a map of the environment. Second, to the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time that a distributed formation tracking control is combined with obstacle avoidance to solve both tasks simultaneously using a hierarchical scheme, thus guaranteeing continuous robots velocities in spite of activation/deactivation of the obstacle avoidance task, and stability is proven even in the transition of tasks. The effectiveness of the approach is shown through simulations and experiments with real robots.

Specific Geometry

The cable-driven hyper-redundant snake-like manipulator (CHSM) inspired by the biomimetic structure of vertebrate muscles and tendons, which consists of numerous joint units connected adjacently driven by elastic materials with hyper-redundant DOF, performs flexible kinematic skills and competitive compound capability under complicated working circumstances. Nevertheless, the drawback of lacking the ability to perceive the environment to perform intelligently in complex scenarios leaves a lot to be improved, which is the original intention to introduce visual tracking feedback acting as an instructor. In this paper, a cable-driven snake-like robotic arm combined with a visual tracking technique is introduced. A visual tracking approach based on dual correlation filter is designed to guide the CHSM in detecting the target and tracing after its trajectory. Specifically, it contains an adaptive optimization for the scale variation of the tracking target via pyramid sampling. For the CHSM, an explicit kinematics model is derived from its specific geometry relationships and followed by a simplification for the inverse kinematics based on some assumption or limitation. A control scheme is brought up to combine the kinematics with visual tracking via the processing tracking errors. The experimental results with a practical prototype validate the availability of the proposed compound control method with the derived kinematics model.

The Stability

This paper studies the attitude-tracking control problem of spacecraft considering on-orbit refuelling. A time-varying inertia model is developed for spacecraft on-orbit refuelling, which actually includes two processes: fuel in the transfer pipe and fuel in the tank. Based upon the inertia model, an adaptive attitude-tracking controller is derived to guarantee the stability of the resulted closed-loop system, as well as asymptotic convergence of the attitude-tracking errors, despite performing refuelling operations. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed control scheme.

Simulation Results

A simple dynamics model is established based on the two-link flexible manipulator moving within the vertical plane, and a robust simple control scheme is put forward. The advantages of this scheme are simple and good robustness. Only the error signal is needed when designing the control scheme and the acquirement of control signal does not depend on the system model. The simulation results show that this method has a good robustness and stability.

In this paper, the adaptive fault-tolerant formation tracking control problem for a set of heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems with actuator loss of effectiveness faults is investigated. The cooperative fault-tolerant formation control strategy for UAV and UGV collaborative systems is classified into the altitude consensus control scheme for follower UAVs and the position cooperative formation control scheme for all followers. The altitude consensus control algorithm is designed by utilizing backstepping control technique to drive all UAVs to a desired predefined height. Then, based on synchronization formation error information, the position cooperative formation control algorithm is proposed for all followers to reach the expected position and perform the desired formation configuration. The adaptive fault estimation term is adopted in the designed fault-tolerant formation control algorithm to compensate for the actuator loss of effectiveness fault. Finally, a simulation example is proposed to reveal the validity of the designed cooperative formation tracking control scheme.
