Abstract :
The paper addresses the problem of trajectory regulation of driftless systems such that a stabilizing control input is assumed exists. The perturbed trajectory depends on a regulation control-input which must be designed such that the system´s stability is preserved and some undesirable sets belonging to navigation area must be avoided. For the stability and regulation of a multi-robot system a converging attractive set around the target is constructed and a repulsive set around obstacles is emphasized. Taking into account a communication algorithm agents-agents to agents-target, we prove that the proposed regulation control-input preserves the navigation area invariance property and the system´s stability. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of he proposed control algorithm.
