Cooperative Circumnavigation for Multiple Unmanned Surface Vehicles Without External Localization
Xueming Liu, Lin Li, Xiang Zhou +2
This paper proposes a cooperative target circumnavigation framework for multiple unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) operating without external localization. The objective is to maint…
A Recursive Total Least Squares Solution for Bearing-Only Target Motion Analysis and Circumnavigation
Lin Li, Xueming Liu, Zhoujingzi Qiu +2
Bearing-only Target Motion Analysis (TMA) is a promising technique for passive tracking in various applications as a bearing angle is easy to measure. Despite its advantages, beari…
Cooperative Circumnavigation for Multi-Quadrotor Systems via Onboard Sensing
Xueming Liu, Lin Li, Xiang Zhou +2
A cooperative circumnavigation framework is proposed for multi-quadrotor systems to enclose and track a moving target without reliance on external localization systems. The distinc…
Formation Control for Enclosing and Tracking via Relative Localization
Xueming Liu, Dengyu Zhang, Qingrui Zhang +1
This paper proposes an integrated framework for coordinating multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a distributed manner to persistently enclose and track a moving target with…
Heuristic Predictive Control for Multi-Robot Flocking in Congested Environments
Guobin Zhu, Qingrui Zhang, Bo Zhu +1
Multi-robot flocking possesses extraordinary advantages over a single-robot system in diverse domains, but it is challenging to ensure safe and optimal performance in congested env…
