This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

Distributed controller design is generally a challenging task, especially for multi-agent
systems with complex dynamics, due to the interconnected effect of the agent dynamics, the …

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

Distributed finite-time attitude containment control for multiple rigid bodies is addressed in
this paper. When there exist multiple stationary leaders, we propose a model-independent …

The paper investigates the synchronization of a network of identical linear time-invariant
state-space models under a possibly time-varying and directed interconnection structure …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

This paper addresses the problem of synchronizing networks of nonidentical, nonlinear
dynamical systems described by Euler-Lagrange equations, which are assumed fully …

Cooperative Control Design: A Systematic, Passivity-Based Approach discusses multi-agent
coordination problems, including formation control, attitude coordination, and …

The theory of collective motion and the study of animal social networks have, each
individually, received much attention. Currently, most models of collective motion do not …

In this paper, we study the problem of robust consensus tracking for a class of second-order
multi-agent dynamic systems with disturbances and unmodeled agent dynamics. Contrary to …
