Abstract Purpose of Review Currently, there is a large body of research on multi-agent
systems addressing their different system theoretic aspects. Aerial swarms as one type of …

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 …

In this article, we address the bearing-only formation control problem of 3-D networked
robotic systems with parametric uncertainties. The contributions of this article are two-fold: 1) …

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 …

A system of cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a group of agents interacting
with each other and the surrounding environment to achieve a specific task. In contrast with …

This paper introduces a new multi-agent control problem, called an affine formation control
problem, with the objective of asymptotically reaching a configuration that preserves …

In this article, we propose an online 3-D planning algorithm for a drone to race competitively
against a single adversary drone. The algorithm computes an approximation of the Nash …
