Recently, multiple unmanned vehicles have attracted a great deal of attention as viable
solutions to a wide variety of civilian and military applications. Among many topics in the …

A systematic review is provided on artificial agent methodologies applicable to control
engineering of autonomous vehicles and robots. The paper focuses on some fundamentals …

We present a survey of formation control of multi-agent systems. Focusing on the sensing
capability and the interaction topology of agents, we categorize the existing results into …

In this paper, we investigate the output consensus problem of tracking a desired trajectory
for a class of systems consisting of multiple nonlinear subsystems with intrinsic mismatched …

The increasing deployment of multiple unmanned vehicles systems has generated large
research interest in recent decades. This paper therefore provides a detailed survey to …

The paper deals with leader–follower formations of nonholonomic mobile robots, introducing
a formation control strategy alternative to those existing in the literature. Robots' control …

We address the problem of tracking control of multiple mobile robots advancing in formation
along straight-line paths. We use a leader-follower approach, and hence, we assume that …

Abstract Underwater Robots such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) has played an important role in many tasks, such as …

In this paper, a neural-dynamic optimization-based nonlinear model predictive control
(NMPC) is developed for controlling leader-follower mobile robots formation. Consider …

The problem of the leader-following formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots is
addressed in this paper. A distributed formation control strategy using explicitly the …
