This paper presents an angle-based approach for distributed formation shape stabilization
of multi-agent systems in the plane. We develop an angle rigidity theory to study whether a …

This paper develops a Bearing-Ratio-of-Distance (B-RoD) rigidity theory to study when a
framework can be uniquely determined by a set of B-RoD constraints up to directly similar …

In this article, the target controllability of multiagent systems under fixed and switching
topologies is investigated, respectively. In the fixed topology setting, some necessary and/or …

This article studies angle-based sensor network localization (ASNL) in a plane, which is to
determine locations of all sensors in a sensor network, given locations of partial sensors …

In this paper, the focus is on distributed similar formation stabilization, which aims to design
a distributed controller to stabilize a group of agents to a desired formation, allowing for …

This study proposes a distributed algorithm that enables agents' adaptive grouping and
entrapment of multiple targets via automatic decision making, smooth flocking, and well …

This paper proposes a generalized weak rigidity theory, and aims to apply the theory to
formation control problems with a gradient descent flow law. The generalized weak rigidity …

In this paper, we develop a hybrid distance-angle rigidity theory that involves heterogeneous
distances (or unsigned angles) and signed constraints for a framework in the 2-D and 3-D …

Angle-constrained formation control has garnered significant attention owing to the
advantage of interedge angles invariant under translation, rotation, and scaling. However …

Sensor network localization (SNL) problems require determining the physical coordinates of
all sensors in a network. This process relies on the global coordinates of anchors and the …
