@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997936, title = {Intelligent Swarm-Finding in Formation Control of Multi-Robots to Track a Moving Target}, author = {Anh Duc Dang and Joachim Horn}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper presents a new approach to control robots, which can quickly find their swarm while tracking a moving target through the obstacles of the environment. In this approach, an artificial potential field is generated between each free-robot and the virtual attractive point of the swarm. This artificial potential field will lead free-robots to their swarm. The swarm-finding of these free-robots dose not influence the general motion of their swarm and nor other robots. When one singular robot approaches the swarm then its swarm-search will finish, and it will further participate with its swarm to reach the position of the target. The connections between member-robots with their neighbors are controlled by the artificial attractive/repulsive force field between them to avoid collisions and keep the constant distances between them in ordered formation. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been verified in simulations. }, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {4}, year = {2014}, pages = {561 - 567}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997936}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/88}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 88, 2014}, }
