Different from most existing distributed localization approaches in static networks where the
agents in a network are static, this paper addresses the distributed localization problem in …

This article studies the problem of integrated distributed network localization and formation
maneuver control. We develop an integrated relative-measurement-based scheme, which …

Abstract Purpose of Review Formation control is a canonical problem in multi-robot systems,
which focuses on the ability of a group of robots to travel in coordination through an area …

In this article, cooperative circumnavigation (CCN) is studied for groups of networked
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under a directed interaction topology. The CCN drives …

This article investigates the similar formation control problem for multirobot systems.
Specifically, we propose an integrated relative localization and similar formation control …

In this article, we address the shape formation problem for massive robot swarms in
environments where external localization systems are unavailable. Achieving this task …

In this study, a robust decentralized stochastic H∞ tracking control design is proposed to
deal with the team formation tracking problem for a large-scale biped robot team system with …

The performance of the trajectory estimation with a single beacon highly depends on the
observability of the system, which is further determined by the excitation patterns of the …

This article proposes a coordinate-free controller for a nonholonomic vehicle to
circumnavigate a fully-actuated moving target by using range-only measurements. If the …

High-accuracy localization and formation are essential for multi-UAV networks to perform
cooperative tasks. However, the joint design of localization and motion planning is …
