Three important issues related to the multi robot formation namely distributed formation control framework, dynamic role switching algorithm and real time implementations are investigated. The switching control strategy combines together formation planning, navigation and active obstacle avoidance in a layered control framework composed of functional behaviors based on the relative motion states of the robots employed in the group. Dynamic role switching mechanism incorporated in this work to tackles the problem of obstacle avoidance in the follower path. The proposed approach is validated through laboratory experiments using commercially available robot research platforms and the results obtained are discussed. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84856038394&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.433-440.6630&partnerID=40&md5=baa15b8939f61ea40621358f8dc11a83 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.433-440.6630 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 433-44 place_of_pub: Singapore pagerange: 6630-6635 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037853191 issn: 10226680 citation: Kuppan Chetty, R.M. and Singaperumal, M. and Nagarajan, T.
