Firstly, guaranteed cost consensus for multi‐agent systems is introduced based on state
errors among neighboring agents and control inputs of all agents, where a tradeoff between …

This paper proposes cooperative control protocols for a group of unmanned vehicles to
make a stable formation around a maneuvering target. The control protocols are proposed …

In the literature, several variants of the conventional cyclic pursuit law have been discussed.
In this paper, one such variant, a modified heterogeneous cyclic pursuit scheme, has been …

Leader–follower guaranteed-cost consensus analysis and design problems for high-order
linear time-variant swarm systems with switching topologies are investigated, where two …

This paper proposes distributed control laws for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) to make and maintain a circular formation around a maneuvering target. The work …

This paper presents a novel consensus tracking protocol for a group of double integrator
agents. The target to be tracked is maneuvering with a non-zero bounded acceleration. It is …

In this paper, a target-centric formation control law with acceleration bound is proposed for a
group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) moving at a constant altitude. Three different …

A formulation is developed for deterministically calculating the optimized paths for a multi-
agent system consisting of heterogeneous vehicles. The essence of this formulation is the …

In this paper, we propose a consensus based multi-agent distributive controller to form and
maintain a target-centric formation. It is assumed that only a subset of agents has target …

In this paper, we present a distributive target-centric formation controller with saturated
control action for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The desired target-centric …
