  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the distributed formation control problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots. By using smooth time-varying feedback control approach and graph theory, a distributed formation control law is designed, which can achieve formation of a system of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots. Based on potential function, a control law for obstacle collision avoidance is constructed. Simulation results prove the validity of the proposed control laws.
