MPC-Based Cooperative Enclosing for Nonholonomic Mobile Agents Under Input Constraint and Unknown Disturbance
Abstract:
In this article, a model predictive control (MPC)-based cooperative target enclosing control approach is investigated for multiple nonholonomic mobile agents with input constraints and unknown disturbances. The agents are required to move along a desired circular orbit centered at a stationary target and maintain an even distribution on the orbit. Based on a dual-mode MPC strategy, a cooperative target enclosing control law is designed by only using the local sensing information. When the agents are inside a terminal region, a locally cooperative stabilizing control law is designed with a signal function defined componentwise part compensating for the unknown disturbances. A robust MPC algorithm is designed for the agents to enter the terminal region in finite time. Global asymptotic stability is guaranteed for multiple nonholonomic mobile agents with input constraints and unknown disturbances. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
