Navigational Protocols of Formation Control for Multiagent Network with and without Nonlinear Dynamics

Formation control problem for multiagent networks is investigated under the framework of leader-follower consensus. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory, two navigational protocols for multiagent network without and with nonlinear dynamics are derived to realize formation control, respectively...

description Formation control problem for multiagent networks is investigated under the framework of leader-follower consensus. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory, two navigational protocols for multiagent network without and with nonlinear dynamics are derived to realize formation control, respectively. In order to achieve the expected formation, controller is adopted to each agent, and the design philosophies of control protocol are required to follow two rules: (i) the destinations of agent are required to be identified and communicating with each other through the network; (ii) at least one agent is needed to be navigator which can detect the difference between its current location and destination. Finally, the two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed navigational protocols.
