Development of the Research Stand for Exploration of Models and Algorithms for Group Control of Ground-Based Mobile Robots

The article describes the process of developing a research stand for exploration of models and algorithms for group control of ground-based mobile robots at the Department of Intelligent Systems in Control and Automation. The role of robotics in science, technology and education is considered. The tasks most effectively solved by means of group robotics are defined. The classification of centralized and decentralized group control strategies is given. A formal statement of the problem of group control of robots is given. The structure of the robot control system for distributed collective and pack control strategies is presented. The task is to develop a research stand for exploration of models and algorithms for controlling a group of mobile robots. The prospects of using the research stand in the research work of the department are described. The functional and electrical diagram of the ground-based mobile robot is given.
