Load transportation by quadrotors and similar aircrafts is a topic of great interest to the
robotics community nowadays, most likely due to logistic gains for deliveries of commercial …

This brief is concerned with the formation control problem of a multi-agent system composed
of multiple quadrotors tasked to achieve aggressive trajectory tracking with prescribed …

A comprehensive guide to formation control of multi-agent systems using rigid graph theory
This book is the first to provide a comprehensive and unified treatment of the subject of …

This paper discusses the problem of controlling formation shapes for a group of
nonholonomic unicycle-type agents with constant speeds. The control input is designed to …

In this article, we first propose a novel maneuvering technique compatible with displacement-
consensus-based formation controllers. We show that the formation can be translated with …

We propose a combined method for the collaborative transportation of a suspended payload
by a team of rotorcraft. A recent distance-based formation-motion control algorithm based on …

In this paper, we study rigid formation control systems modelled by double integrators. Two
kinds of double-integrator formation systems are considered, namely formation stabilisation …

This article addresses an adaptive backstepping finite-time optimal formation control
problem for second-order multiagent systems (MASs) with unknown nonlinear dynamics …

The thesis presents new results on multi-agent formation control, focusing on the distributed
stabilization control of rigid formation shapes. It analyzes a range of current research …

This article proposes a novel predefined-time optimal formation control approach for second-
order heterogeneous multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics and external …
