Short summary
In this study, we systematically improved the multi-robot formation control algorithm. We employed a virtual spring approach to stabilize formations, enhanced the Velocity Obstacle algorithm to address collisions in dynamic mobility, and introduced a leader for consistency. Simulations with up to 20 robots confirmed our method's suitability for large-scale formation obstacle avoidance. Position error and path length remained stable as robot numbers increased.
