Stabilization of infinitesimally rigid formations of multi-robot networks
This paper proposes a local gradient control law to stabilize a group of robots to a target formation. The control is derived from a potential function based on an undirected infin...

On the stability of distance-based formation control
— This paper examines stability properties of distance-based formations. These are formations encoded by inter-agent relative distances. A negative gradient control law is propos...

Distributed receding horizon control for multi-vehicle formation stabilization
We consider the control of interacting subsystems whose dynamics and constraints are decoupled, but whose state vectors are coupled non-separably in a single cost function of a fi...

Stability analysis for multi-agent systems using the incidence matrix: Quantized communication and formation control
The spectral properties of the incidence matrix of the communication graph are exploited to provide solutions to two multiagent control problems. In particular, we consider the pr...

Effect of network structure on the stability margin of large vehicle formation with distributed control
We study the problem of distributed control of a large network of double-integrator agents to maintain a rigid formation. A few lead vehicles are given information on the desired t...
