Abstract :
One of the formation schemes in multirobot systems is named as the leader-follower scheme. Dynamic equations based on the scheme are formulated for multirobot systems with uncertainties by Defoort et al. ( IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. vol. 55, no. 11, pp. 3944-3953, Nov. 2008). This paper focuses on the equations, clarifies their drawbacks, and revisits the modeling of the leader-follower formation scheme for multirobot systems with uncertainties.
