Swarming species such as flocks of birds or schools of fish exhibit fascinating collective
behaviors during migration and predator avoidance. Similarly, engineered multi-agent …

This paper studies a methodology for group coordination and cooperative control of n
agents to achieve a target-capturing task in 3D space. The proposed approach is based on …

The ocean covers about two-thirds of the earth and has a great effect on the future existence
of all human beings. About 37% of the world's population lives within 100 km of the ocean …

The problem of formation control and path following for underactuated 3-degrees-of-freedom
(3-DOF) marine surface vessels is considered. The proposed decentralized controller makes …

The attitude synchronization problem for a group of flexible spacecraft is discussed in this
note. Meanwhile, the communication delay among these spacecraft is also considered. By …

This paper addresses the problem of coordinated path tracking for networked nonholonomic
mobile vehicles, while building and keeping a desired formation. The control laws proposed …

The field of multi-agent dynamic systems is an inter-disciplinary research field that has
become very popular in the recent years in parallel with the significant interest in the …

In this article, the formation control is investigated for a network of second-order dynamic
agents with heterogeneous communication delays. The desired stationary formation is …

The work presented here considers the attitude synchronization problem for a group of
spacecraft in the presence of communication delays. Based on the backstepping control and …

Finite‐time formation control of multiple second‐order agents via dynamic output feedback is
investigated in this paper. Under the assumption that the velocities of all agents cannot be …
