| Summary: | Mobile robots are widely used in many applications, while various types of mobile robots and their control researches have been proposed in literature. Since swarm robots have higher flexibility and capacity for teamwork, this paper presents a grey estimator-based tracking controller for formation trajectory tracking of swarm robots. First, wheel-type mobile robots are used and modeled for the controller design. Then, a grey dynamic estimator is developed to estimate the environmental disturbance and model uncertainty for linear feedback compensation. As a result, the asymptotic trajectory tracking is assured, so that the application on the swarm robot formation is achieved for a multi-agent system. The computational complexity is slightly reduced by the design. Finally, in order to verify the reliability of swarm robot formation, several types of formation are maintained by the grey estimator-based feedback linearization controller.
