Research in the area of cooperative multi-agent robot systems has received wide attention
among researchers in recent years. The main concern is to find the effective coordina-tion …

Model predictive control (MPC) theory has gained attention with the recent increase in the
processing power of computers that are now able to perform the needed calculations for this …

Mobile robots tracking a reference trajectory are constrained by the motion limits of their
actuators, which impose the requirement for high autonomy driving capabilities in robots …

In this paper, we have developed a novel visual servo-based model predictive control
method to steer a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) moving in a polar coordinate toward a …

The coordination between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground
vehicles (UGVs) is a proactive research topic whose great value of application has attracted …

A multi-robot tractor system for conducting agriculture field work was developed in order to
reduce total work time and to improve work efficiency. The robot tractors can form a spatial …

Mobile medical robots have been widely used in various structured scenarios, such as
hospital drug delivery, public area disinfection, and medical examinations. Considering the …

This paper discusses the application of a constraint-based model predictive control (MPC) to
mobile manipulation tracking problems. The problem has been formulated so as to …

In this study, model predictive control with softening constraints is applied to a non‐
holonomic wheeled mobile robot for trajectory tracking in the presence of external …

Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) naturally guarantees optimal transient process and
constraints satisfaction. Most mature MPC theories concern with linear time-invariant …
