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 …

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

Recently, significant gains have been made in our understanding of multi-robot systems,
and such systems have been deployed in domains as diverse as precision agriculture …

In coordinative control of a network of multi-agent systems, to guarantee the stability of the
coordinated motion, a basic assumption typically is that the underlying topology of the …

Autonomous mobile sensor networks are employed to measure large-scale environmental
fields. Yet an optimal strategy for mission design addressing both the cooperative motion …

This paper presents a methodology for computation of artificial vector fields that allows a
robot to converge to and circulate around generic curves specified in n-dimensional spaces …

In this article, we propose a distributed guiding-vector-field (DGVF) algorithm for a team of
robots to form a spontaneous-ordering platoon moving along a predefined desired path in …

A novel adaptive method to achieve both path following and formation moving along desired
orbits in the presence of a spatio-temporal flowfield is presented. The flowfield is a spatio …

This paper proposes a new distributed formation flight protocol for unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) to perform coordinated circular tracking around a set of circles on a target sphere …

We address the synthesis of controllers for a swarm of robots to generate a desired two-
dimensional geometric pattern specified by a simple closed planar curve with local …
