Resumen

Título: Networks of Robots: How to Deal with Delays, Lack of Velocity Measurements and Nonholonomic Restrictions

The talk presents some results on the control of networks of robots. It explores the solution to the consensus (formation) problem, where the objective is that all robots agree at a common position. If such position is a priory given, as a desired set-point, then we speak of leader-follower consensus otherwise we speak of leaderless consensus. In particular, the talk discusses how to deal with delays in the communications and with the lack of velocity measurements. The controllers described in the talk are based on the Energy Shaping and Damping Injection methodology and the extension to control nonholonomic vehicles will be also examined.
