摘要: This paper presents a novel approach for motion coordination in formations of multi-robot-systems (MRS). First short introduction to the application MRS navigation is given. For special sub-problem moving formation, solution based on potential field presented. Different forces belonging other robots, obstacles and aspired shape formation are combined used move each robot its desired position inside formation. While group able avoid towards specified target. results simulation show that robots can form up rectangle or circle even presence obstacles.
