Collective control of a multiagent system is concerned with designing strategies for a group
of autonomous agents operating in a networked environment. The aim is to achieve a global …

Recent years have witnessed a trend to use networked multiple autonomous agents to
accomplish complex tasks arising from space-based applications, smart grids, and machine …

Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

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 …

This paper presents a novel control protocol for robust distance-based formation control with
prescribed performance in which agents are subjected to unknown external disturbances …

A fundamental problem that the bearing rigidity theory studies is to determine when a
framework can be uniquely determined up to a translation and a scaling factor by its inter …

The paper concentrates on the fundamental coordination problem that requires a network of
agents to achieve a specific but arbitrary formation shape. A new technique based on …

This paper studies bearing-based formation control of a group of autonomous agents with
the leader-first follower (LFF) structure in an arbitrary dimensional space. First, the bearing …

Multi-agent formation control is an important part of distributed perception and cooperation,
which is convenient to complete various complex tasks and would be a key research …

Distributed control and location estimation of multiagent systems have received tremendous
research attention in recent years because of their potential across many application …
