A projection-tracking design method is proposed for designing the path-following control and the formation protocol, which guarantee forma- tion motion of the multi-agent system under a directed communication graph.

文摘This paper deals with a cooperative control problem of a team of double-integrator agents moving along a set of given curves with a nominated formation. A projection-tracking design method is proposed for designing the path-following control and the formation protocol, which guarantee forma- tion motion of the multi-agent system under a directed communication graph. Necessary and sufficient conditions of the control gains for solving the coordinated problem are obtained when the directed communication graph has a globally reachable node. Simulation results of formation motion among three agents demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
