a method based on a simplified virtual-force model is proposed for swarm robots hunting in unknown non-convex
convex and dynamic obstacles environments.First
the motion models for the hunting target and dynamic obstacles are presented.Then through the decomposition of hunting behaviors under complicated environments
a simplified virtual-force model is formed.Based on the model
the control method is designed for swarm robots following motions of barriers and the hunting target;the stability of the hunting system is analyzed and the control parameter ranges are given.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can maintain a good hunting formation and has good performance of obstacles avoidance and flexibility.Finally
advantages of this method are presented
compared with the hunting method based on loose preference rule.
