Most of the existing formation algorithms for multiagent systems are fully label-specified, i.e., the desired position for each agent in the formation is uniquely determined by its label, which would inevitably make the formation algorithms…

In a multi-agent system, an agent's optimal policy will typically depend on the policies chosen by others. Therefore, a key issue in multi-agent systems research is that of predicting the behaviours of others, and responding promptly to…
The paper proposes an intermittent communication mechanism for the tracking consensus of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) surrounded by random disturbances. Each collaborating agent is described by a class of high-order…
