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 …

This paper considers the design and effective interfaces of a distributed robotic formation
running planar weighted bearing-compass dynamics. We present results that support …

In this paper, the novel surrounding formation protocol around a beacon is proposed using
bearing-only formation. In the surrounding formation problem, all agents surround the …

We develop a systematic approach to synthesize distributed control laws for motion
coordination in a group of constant-speed kinematic rigid bodies. Parallel and balanced …

The paper presents distributed control design to stabilize circular formations of steered
particles in three-dimensional space. In formation, the particles are required to follow equal …

From ecology and evolutionary biology to social sciences, and from systems and control
theory to statistical physics and computer graphics, researchers have been trying to develop …

Formation control problems in the field of control theory are not new. They pertain to multiple
mobile agents ie robots that are placed in a formation of a certain geometric shape and then …

This dissertation aims to explore intuitive control mechanisms for distributed protocols over
networks with a goal of understanding state-dependent networks and attaining high-level …
