Distributed Multi-Robot Formation Control Based on Two-Layer Nearest Neighbor Information(TNNI) Consensus

Abstract

With the development of artificial intelligence, robot swarm systems also frequently appear in complex tasks of different situation. One of the important research directions is the formation of multi-robots. This paper analyzes the limitations of existing algorithms for large-scale mobile robot swarm formation control problems and proposes a consensus control algorithm with two-layer nearest neighbor information. It carries out experimental simulation to verify its convergence performance. At the same time, combined with a distributed structure control strategy that can change the number of robot formation members, the formation control experiment is carried out on the experimental platform consisted of robot state information detection device and multiple mobile robots,to further verify its feasibility.
