Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Distributed Systems
  • Control Theory

Background:

  • Coordinated multi-robot systems require efficient formation control strategies.
  • Scalability and obstacle avoidance are critical challenges in swarm robotics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel distributed control strategy, the Triangle Formation (TF) algorithm, for robot groups.
  • To enable robots to achieve Equilateral Triangular Configurations (ETC) using a geometric approach.
  • To enhance the TF algorithm for scalability and group obstacle avoidance.

Main Methods:

  • A geometric approach is used to define the Triangle Formation (TF) algorithm.
  • A neighbor selection technique ensures scalability for large robot groups.
  • An artificial physics model is integrated for group obstacle avoidance.

Main Results:

  • The Triangle Formation (TF) algorithm successfully enables three neighboring robots to form an Equilateral Triangular Configuration (ETC).
  • The algorithm demonstrates scalability for large robot groups through neighbor selection.
  • Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the enhanced TF algorithm in achieving group flocking and obstacle avoidance in unknown environments.

Conclusions:

  • The Triangle Formation (TF) algorithm provides a scalable and effective distributed control strategy for multi-robot systems.
  • The integration of an artificial physics model enhances the algorithm's capability for group obstacle avoidance.
  • The TF algorithm facilitates successful group flocking with a multi-ETC network in complex, unknown environments.
