Abstract

EN The paper is devoted to the leader–follower approach for multiple mobile robots control and its experimental verification. The formation control of mobile robots is motivated by the concept of virtual leader tracking, which is enhanced by the collision avoidance between the robots proposed in our previous work. The effectiveness of this approach was verified through realisation of experiments with use of MTracker mobile robots. The OptiTrack vision system was used for robots localization. Software part with control algorithms and communication was prepared with use of the Robot Operating System.
