Abstract
Mobile robot formations differ in accordance to the mission, environment and robot abilities. In the case of decentralized control, the ability to achieve the shapes of these formations has to be built into controllers of each robot. In this paper the use of velocity potential approach for controlling formations of robots in crowded environments is investigated. Several physical experiments and extensive simulations tests were performed and discussed.
