Formations Strategies for Obstacle Avoidance with Multi Agent Robotic System

Abstract

In this paper we aim to introduce the multi agent robotic systems (MARS) to make a good understanding of how it works. Multi-agent systems consisting lot type class of mobile which can communicate between each other and maintain a desired formation. Task become more challenging when group of multi agent change the formation when facing the obstacles. Three non-holonomic robots - "MYbots" will performs some demonstrations which first experiment to maintaining triangular formation while moving and second experiment focus on two type leader face obstacle and follow face obstacle avoidance. Method that used in this research is a leader follower method. Follower MYbot will follow the path commanded by the Leader MYbot to avoid obstacle. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
