Geometric Control of Nonholonomic Agents

Use of Projected Gradients for the Control of Single-agent and Consensus of Multiagent systems.

Guide: Prof. Ravi N. Banavar (IIT Bombay) and Prof. Zhong-ping Jiang (New York University).

  • Designed appropriate Morse function to achieve asymptotic convergence to a position for a single agent
  • Utilized switching control to introduce time-varying and discontinuous feedback to achieve exponential convergence to a position for a nonholonomic agent in simulations
  • Extended the controller for a multi-agent system, achieving exponential position-consensus
