Abstract

In this paper, the leader-follower formation control of two differential-drive mobile robots is addressed using the interrobot distance and the heading angle. To avoid singularities in the control law, a point located at a certain distance from the midpoint of the wheel axle, is considered as the output of the system. The proposed control strategy is designed using a second-order sliding mode and, therefore, is robust against bounded disturbances. It is worth noting that the decentralized control strategy only depends on local information about distance and the heading angle measurements. Real-time experiments show the performance of the approach.
