内容简介：

Inspired by the wild animals that perform teamwork to achieve complex tasks, the concept of multi-agent systems is introduced to build up connections among intelligent and autonomous systems. To generate collaborative behaviour and group intelligence for a multi-robot system, this talk discusses how to design adaptive and cooperative formation control algorithms. The issue of collision avoidance is considered first to ensure safety of the system. Next uncertainty estimation techniques are proposed to increase the formation tracking precision of all agents. The actuator saturation problem is then investigated to assure practicality of the proposed control algorithms. Experimental results regarding a group of self-designed omni-directional robots are provided to show effectiveness of the control algorithms in practice.
