DOI: 10.1109/tcns.2019.2953459
Abstract: This article addresses the design of an optimization-based cooperative path-following control law for multiple robotic vehicles that optimally balances the transient tradeoff between coordination and path-following errors. To this end, we formulate a more general… read more here.
