This paper addresses the leader-following formation problem of nonholonomic mobile robots. In the formation, only the pose (i.e., the position and direction angle) of the leader robot can be obtained by the follower. First, the leader-following formation is transformed into special trajectory tracking. And then, a neural network (NN) finite-time observer of the follower robot is designed to estimate the dynamics of the leader robot. Finally, finite-time formation control laws are developed for the follower robot to track the leader robot in the desired separation and bearing in finite time. The effectiveness of the proposed NN finite-time observer and the formation control laws are illustrated by both qualitative analysis and simulation results.

This paper investigates the fixed-time trajectory tracking control for a group of nonholonomic mobile robots, where the desired trajectory is generated by a virtual leader, the leader’s information is available to only a subset of the followers, and the followers are assumed to have only local interaction. According to fixed-time control theory and adding a power integrator technique, distributed fixed-time tracking controllers are developed for each robot such that all states of each robot can reach the desired value in a fixed time. Moreover, the settling time is independent of the system initial conditions and only determined by the controller parameters. Simulation results illustrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
