A current survey of the emerging field of networked control systems is provided. The aim is to
introduce the fundamental issues involved in designing successful networked control …

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 …

Consensus problems have attracted significant attention in the control community over the
last decade. They act as a rich source of new mathematical problems pertaining to the …

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 proposes a design methodology to stabilize relative equilibria in a model of
identical, steered particles moving in the plane at unit speed. Relative equilibria either …

Control laws to synchronize attitudes in a swarm of fully actuated rigid bodies, in the
absence of a common reference attitude or hierarchy in the swarm, are proposed in [Smith …

In this paper, we study the problem of distributed motion coordination among a group of
nonholonomic ground robots. We develop vision-based control laws for parallel and …

This paper addresses passivity-based motion coordination of rigid bodies in the special
Euclidean group SE (3) under the assumption that the agents exchange information over …

Motion camouflage is a stealth strategy observed in nature. We formulate the problem as a
feedback system for particles moving at constant speed, and define what it means for the …

We present methods to stabilize a class of motion patterns for unit speed particles in the
plane. From their initial positions within a compact set in the plane, all particles converge to …
