This paper is concerned with the problem of finding a time-optimal velocity profile along the predefined path for static formations of mobile robots in order to traverse the path in shortest time and to satisfy, for each mobile robot in the formation, velocity, acceleration, tip over and wheel slip prevention constraints. Time-optimal velocity planning is achieved using so called bang-bang control where minimum and maximum accelerations of the formation are alternating. The developed trajectory planning algorithm is demonstrated on the formation of differential drive mobile robots.
