Variable formation control of multiple robots via VRc and formation switching to accommodate large heading changes by leader robot

This article describes a novel multi-robot formation control based on a switching technique that allows follower robots to maintain formation when the leader robot’s direction changes rapidly or unexpectedly. The formation pattern is determined using Virtual Robot’s Center of the multi-robot formati...
