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 …

Cooperative robotics has gained considerable traction in the industrial sector with the
expeditious use of multi-agent systems. Containment control is an emergent topic in …

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 …

Formation-containment control problems for multiple multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) systems with directed topologies are studied, where the states of leaders form desired …

Multi-agent systems have numerous civilian, homeland security, and military applications;
however, for all these applications, communication bandwidth, sensing range, power …

In this paper, containment control problems for networked multi-agent systems with multiple
stationary or dynamic leaders are investigated. The topologies that characterize the …

Self-organised emergent patterns can be widely seen in natural and man-made complex
systems generated by interactions among local components without external or global …

This technical note addresses the distributed time-varying formation-containment control
problem for heterogeneous general linear multiagent systems (the virtual leader …

This paper presents a distributed containment control approach for uncertain nonlinear strict-
feedback systems with multiple dynamic leaders under a directed graph topology where the …

This paper presents a region-based shape controller for a swarm of robots. In this control
method, the robots move as a group inside a desired region while maintaining a minimum …
