Distributed Multi-Robot Formation Control among Obstacles: A Geometric and Optimization Approach with Consensus

This paper presents a distributed method for navigating a team of robots in formation in 2D and 3D environments with static and dynamic obstacles. The robots are assumed to have a reduced communication and visibility radius and share information with their neighbors. Via distributed consensus the ro...
