Motion Control in Dynamic Multi-Robot Environments

Full Text: motion control.pdf PDF

All mobile robots require some form of motion control in or- der to exhibit interesting autonomous behaviors. This is even more essen- tial formulti-robot, highly-dynamic environments, such as robotic soccer. This paper presents the motion control system used by CMUnited-98, the small-size league champion at RoboCup-98. The team consists of ve robots that aim at achieving speci c goals while navigating in a limited space shared with the ve other opponent robots. We introduce our motion control algorithm, which allows a general di erential-driven robot to accurately reach a target point with a desired orientation in an environment with multiple moving obstacles. We describe how the features of our motion controller help to build interesting and robust behaviors. We also brie y compare our system to other motion control techniques and include descriptions and illustrations of the performance of our fully-implemented motion control algorithm.
