Title: Vision based leader-follower formation control for mobile robots
Author (s): Sequeira, Gerard, 1982-
Advisor(s): Agarwal, Sanjeev
Department/Lab Affiliations: Intelligent Systems Center
Keywords: ARM7 microcontroller Zigbee.
Bezier trajectory.

Abstract: "Creating systems with multiple autonomous vehicles places severe demands on the design of control schemes. Robot formation control plays a vital role in coordinating robots. As the number of members in a system rise, the complexity of each member increases. There is a proportional increase in the quantity and complexity of onboard sensing, control and computation. This thesis investigates the control of a group of mobile robots consisting of a leader and several followers to maintain a desired geometric formation"--Abstract, p. iii.
