Distributed Containment Reference Signal for Nonholonomic Planar Vehicles (2112.03523v1)

Abstract: Cooperative of multiple nonholonomic vehicles can be converted into tracking problems of a single-vehicle. The reference trajectory design within distributed features for each vehicle in the group is addressed in this note. The motivation is that nonholonomic vehicles cannot achieve asymptotical stabilization of non-feasible reference signals, and modifications about the virtual reference trajectory design are needed. Reduced-order design and time-varying technique, and some simple geometry tricks are applied to derive the dynamic reference trajectory.
