Cooperative control of multiple mobile robot using particle swarm optimization for tracking two passive target

Abstract

This paper proposes a cooperative control method for multiple mobile robots to track two passive targets in unknown environment on the basis of a particle swarm optimization (PSO). By adjusting the left and right wheels speed of the mobile robot using the proposed control method, each mobile robot can move towards the target on the basis of information about the previous best location of each particle and its neighbors. The simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed cooperative control method of multiple mobile robots for tracking two passive targets.
