Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural robot control technology, and in particular to an anti-interference convergence method for agricultural robot swarms based on interactive link dynamics. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural robot swarm systems consist of multiple agricultural robots (such as harvesting robots, transport robots, and inspection robots) that collaborate to complete complex agricultural tasks, offering advantages such as high efficiency, robustness, and adaptability. In agricultural robot swarms, the stability and convergence of the interaction links are crucial for achieving collaborative control. However, in real-world farmland environments, the interaction links between robots are often affected by external interference (such as obstruction by field obstacles and positioning errors caused by slippery soil), communication fading, and dynamic changes in tasks, leading to fluctuations in link status and impacting the overall collaborative performance of the swarm.

[0003] Most existing technologies focus on the position or velocity control of individual agricultural robots, with less emphasis on the dynamic behavior and convergence of the interaction links. Furthermore, traditional control methods often struggle to guarantee the convergence of link states and the robustness of the system when faced with weakly connected interactive topologies or random disturbances.
