Spontaneous-Ordering Platoon Control for Multirobot Path Navigation Using Guiding Vector Fields
Bin-Bin Hu, Hai-Tao Zhang, Weijia Yao +2
In this paper, we propose a distributed guiding-vector-field (DGVF) algorithm for a team of robots to form a spontaneous-ordering platoon moving along a predefined desired path in…
Resilient source seeking with robot swarms
Antonio Acuaviva, Jesus Bautista, Weijia Yao +2
We present a solution for locating the source, or maximum, of an unknown scalar field using a swarm of mobile robots. Unlike relying on the traditional gradient information, the sw…
Learning-based Near-optimal Motion Planning for Intelligent Vehicles with Uncertain Dynamics
Yang Lu, Xinglong Zhang, Xin Xu +1
Motion planning has been an important research topic in achieving safe and flexible maneuvers for intelligent vehicles. However, it remains challenging to realize efficient and opt…
A Novel Vector-Field-Based Motion Planning Algorithm for 3D Nonholonomic Robots
Xiaodong He, Weijia Yao, Zhiyong Sun +1
This paper focuses on the motion planning for mobile robots in 3D, which are modelled by 6-DOF rigid body systems with nonholonomic kinematics constraints. We not only specify the…
Guiding vector fields for the distributed motion coordination of mobile robots
Weijia Yao, Hector Garcia de Marina, Zhiyong Sun +1
We propose coordinating guiding vector fields to achieve two tasks simultaneously with a team of robots: first, the guidance and navigation of multiple robots to possibly different…
Distributed coordinated path following using guiding vector fields
Weijia Yao, Hector Garcia de Marina, Zhiyong Sun +1
It is essential in many applications to impose a scalable coordinated motion control on a large group of mobile robots, which is efficient in tasks requiring repetitive execution,…
Singularity-free Guiding Vector Field for Robot Navigation
Weijia Yao, Hector Garcia de Marina, Bohuan Lin +1
Most of the existing path-following navigation algorithms cannot guarantee global convergence to desired paths or enable following self-intersected desired paths due to the existen…
Distributed Circumnavigation Control with Dynamic Spacings for a Heterogeneous Multi-robot System
Weijia Yao, Sha Luo, Huimin Lu +1
Circumnavigation control is useful in real-world applications such as entrapping a hostile target. In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous multi-robot system where robots have d…
