In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted increased attention from
academic and industrial research communities, owing to their wide range of potential …

Path planning and formation control are two of the most significant concepts which can be
considered in multi-vehicle systems and particularly in autonomous underwater vehicles …

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 …

A key problem in cooperative robotics is the maintenance of ageometric configuration during
movement. To address this problem, theconcept of a Virtual Structure isintroduced. Using …

The increasing deployment of multiple unmanned vehicles systems has generated large
research interest in recent decades. This paper therefore provides a detailed survey to …

This paper addresses the problem of coordinating multiple spacecraft to fly in tightly
controlled formations. The main contribution of the paper is to introduce a coordination …

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the current research landscape in the field of
UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) swarm formation control. This review examines both …

We describe a framework for cooperative control of a group of nonholonomic mobile robots
that allows us to build complex systems from simple controllers and estimators. The resultant …

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 …

The paper investigates the stability properties of mobile agent formations which are based
on leader following. We derive nonlinear gain estimates that capture how leader behavior …
