Roboat Formation Control: Sailing in Formation for Waste Transport using Roboat units

Formation control of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) is researched extensively in the last years, since it has promising applications. However very few designed strategies have been validated during real experiments. In this research, two<br/>control methods for distributed leader-follower formation control are proposed: A Nonlinear Model...

Regulations Aware Motion Planning for Autonomous Surface Vessels in Urban Canals
