Abstract :
For multiple mobile robots, catching a moving object through coordination is a typical task which involves capturing strategies and a motion coordination. This paper investigates capturing strategies with the coordination of multiple mobile robots. Two strategies are proposed: the strategy of symmetric chase and the strategy of cooperative catching. The theoretical analysis and simulation experiment are conducted to compare the performance of the two strategies and verify the effect of the work.
