Özet

In this paper, we consider the task of tracking a maneuvering target both with a single nonholonomic agent and a swarm of nonholonomic agents. In order to achieve the tracking task, a decentralized continuous-time control scheme, which combines artificial potentials and sliding mode control techniques, is developed via constructive analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is established analytically and demonstrated via a set of simulation results. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4006622]
