Leader-based multi-agent coordination: Controllability and optimal control

M Ji, A Muhammad, M Egerstedt - 2006 American Control …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we consider the situation where a collection of leaders dictate the motion of the
followers in heterogenous multi-agent applications. In particular, the followers move …

Scaling the size of a formation using relative position feedback

S Coogan, M Arcak - Automatica, 2012 - Elsevier
We consider a multiagent coordination problem where the objective is to steer a team of
mobile agents into a formation of variable size. We assume the shape description of the …

Behavior coordination in multi-robot systems

FJ Mendiburu, MRA Morais… - 2016 IEEE International …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A distributed swarm navigation technique is presented for terrestrial mobile robots. Each
robot has its own behavior-based controller that coordinates its basic behaviors by using a …

Multi-robot virtual structure switching and formation changing strategy in an unknown occluded environment

D Roy, A Chowdhury, M Maitra… - 2018 IEEE/RSJ …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents a switching strategy of a region-based shape controller for a swarm-
robotic framework to overcome the traditional obstacle-avoidance problem in the virtual …

On the control of uncertain impulsive systems: approximate stabilization and controlled invariance

Y Gao*, J Lygeros, M Quincampoix… - International Journal of …, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
The problems of stabilization and controlled invariance of a fairly wide class of uncertain
hybrid systems is considered. Uncertainty enters in the form of a disturbance input that can …

Multirobot formations based on the queue-formation scheme with limited communication

CH Fua, SS Ge, KD Do, KW Lim - IEEE Transactions on …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate the operation of the queue-formation structure (or Q-structure) in
multirobot teams with limited communication. Information flow can be divided into two time …

Cooperation mechanisms in multi-agent robotic systems and their use in distributed manufacturing control: Issues and literature review
