Collective control of a multiagent system is concerned with designing strategies for a group
of autonomous agents operating in a networked environment. The aim is to achieve a global …

Distributed coordination of multi-agent systems (MASs) has received considerable attention
and advanced rapidly in the past years. This paper reviews the recent results on cooperative …

This paper addresses the problem of steering a single or a group of autonomous
nonholonomic mobile robots to enclose a target of interest. We develop control schemes …

The problem of localization and circumnavigation of a slowly moving target with unknown
speed has been considered. The agent only knows its own position with respect to its initial …

This note investigates the problem of moving-target circular formation of nonholonomic
vehicles, such that the controlled vehicles orbit around a target moving with a time-varying …

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 …

A multi-unmanned surface vessel (USV) formation control system is established on a novel
platform composed of three 1.2-m-long hydraulic jet propulsion surface vessels, a differential …

Multi-agent systems are ubiquitous in the real-world and have received an increasing
attention by many researchers worldwide. A multi-agent system is composed of many agents …

This paper investigates the circular formation control problem of multiple nonholonomic
vehicles of unicycle type. The measurement of each vehicle is based on its local coordinate …

In this brief, a distributed surrounding control problem is investigated for multiple unmanned
surface vessels (USVs) with varying interconnection topologies. A distributed estimation-and …
