Formation control is a cooperative control concept in which multiple autonomous underwater
mobile robots are deployed for a group motion and/or control mission. This paper presents a …

This paper proposes a new class of distributed nonlinear controllers for leader-following
formation control of unicycle robots without global position measurements. Nonlinear small …

Finite-time stability in dynamical systems theory involves systems whose trajectories
converge to an equilibrium state in finite time. In this paper, we use the notion of finite-time …

This paper studies the target aggregation problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent
systems with the time varying interconnection topology. The general neighboring rule-based …

This paper studies the distributed nonlinear control of mobile autonomous agents with
variable and directed topology. A new distributed nonlinear design scheme is presented for …

In this paper, we investigate the safety and stabilization problems of interconnected
nonlinear systems. In particular, different subsystems may involve potentially conflicting …

This paper presents a novel decentralized control law for the Voronoi-based deployment of
a Multi-Agent dynamical system. At each time instant, a bounded convex polyhedral working …

This paper investigates the problem of general attitude cooperative control for different
satellite formation structures from a new perspective of set theory. A virtual single-integral …

The optimization-based stabilization of manifolds for nonlinear dynamical systems with
constraints is investigated. Manifolds in the state or output space are considered for which …

In multi-agent control systems, coordination of agents often relies critically on the
connectivity of the underlying communication network. This study analyses the problem of …
