Abstract:This paper proposes a constant time-delay trajectory tracking method for vehicle convoys operating without inter-vehicle communication, a common coordinate system, or global positioning. The method integrates a probabilistic sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) neural network with an invariant extended Kalman filter (IEKF) to warm-start the prediction process, allowing accurate estimation of a leader vehicle's relative trajectory on the SE(2) manifold. A geometric model predictive controller is further incorporated to fully exploit the manifold-based trajectory predictions for improved control performance. The system can handle arbitrary nonlinear trajectories with varying speeds and motion profiles while reducing the need for expert-based domain knowledge for the design of trajectory following systems, even under long trajectory delays. The effectiveness of the method is validated through comparisons with a pure IEKF baseline, learning-based methods, and the ground-truth trajectory in kinematic simulations, as well as in experiments using real robotic vehicles.
