Abstract (EN):
In this paper, we address the problem of safety-critical, cooperative path following (CPF) control for a swarm of heterogeneous robotic vehicles following possibly intersecting paths. Control Lyapunov Functions (CLFs) and Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) are utilized on a Quadratic Program (QP) based controller to achieve the desired task, while also giving explicit collision avoidance guarantees. We propose a modified CLF-CBF based QP controller to overcome deadlock-like configurations by assigning specific priorities for each of the agents. Numerical simulation results for three agents shows the efficacy of the proposed methodology.
