contents This paper addresses bearing-only algorithms for solving the Fermat-Weber Location Problem (FWLP) with a unicycle agent. Unlike existing FWLP solutions for single- or double-integrator agents, our approach accounts for the nonholonomic constraints of wheeled robots. We first develop a bearing-only control law for the case with stationary beacons. Next, we consider saturated control inputs and propose a corresponding bearing-only control law. Finally, we address moving beacons with constant velocities and develop a control law that enables the unicycle agent to track the moving Fermat-Weber point. Both simulations and experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
