RT Journal Article T1 General Path Planning Methodology for Leader-Follower Robot Formations A1 Garrido Bullón, Luis Santiago A1 Moreno Lorente, Luis Enrique A1 Gómez González, Javier Victorio A1 Lima, Pedro U. AB This paper describes a robust algorithm for mobile robot formations based on the Voronoi Fast Marching path planning method. This is based on the propagation of a wave throughout the model of the environment, the wave expanding faster as the wave's distance from obstacles increases. This method provides smooth and safe trajectories and its computational efficiency allows us to maintain a good response time. The proposed method is based on a local-minima-free planner; it is complete and has an O(n) complexity order where n is the number of cells of the map. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm generates good trajectories.
