Abstract

In this paper, we propose an inverse-kinematics controller for a class of multi-robot systems in the scenario of sampled communication. The goal is to make a group of robots perform trajectory tracking {in a coordinated way} when the sampling time of communications is non-negligible, disrupting the theoretical convergence guarantees of standard control designs. Given a feasible desired trajectory in the configuration space, the proposed controller receives measurements from the system at sampled time instants and computes velocity references for the robots, which are tracked by a low-level controller. We propose a jointly designed feedback plus feedforward controller with provable stability and error convergence guarantees, and further show that the obtained controller is amenable of decentralized implementation. We test the proposed control strategy via numerical simulations in the scenario of cooperative aerial manipulation of a cable-suspended load using a realistic simulator (Fly-Crane). Finally, we compare our proposed decentralized controller with centralized approaches that adapt the feedback gain online through smart heuristics, and show that it achieves comparable performance.
