This paper deals with cooperative control design for nonlinear multi-agent systems. The
control objective is to ensure that a group of agents reaches a formation characterized by …

Distributed control solutions to the multi-agent systems in terms of coordination, formation,
and consensus problems are extensively studied in the literature. The circular formation …

Enclosing a maneuverable target for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a constrained
environment is intractable as existing methods fail to coordinate collision safety and tracking …

A well-known path-planning technique for mobile robots or planar aerial vehicles is to use
Dubins paths, which are minimum-distance paths between two configurations subject to the …

A precise localization system and a map that properly represents the environment are
fundamental for several robotic applications. Traditional LiDAR SLAM algorithms are …

The stratospheric airship, which is a new concept of autonomous atmospheric flight
platforms, can operate over a period of time at very high altitudes to accomplish various …

In robot navigation tasks, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) highway traffic monitoring,
it is important for a mobile robot to follow a specified desired path. However, most of the …

The use of delivery services is an increasing trend worldwide, further enhanced by the
COVID pandemic. In this context, drone delivery systems are of great interest as they may …

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for path-following control of the nonholonomic mobile
robot based on the idea of the guiding vector field (GVF). The desired path may be an …

The actual performance of model-based path-following methods for unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) shows considerable dependence on the wind knowledge and on the fidelity …
