We study a model for social influence in which the agents' opinion is a continuous variable [G. Weisbuch et al., Complexity \textbf{7}, 2, 55 (2002)]. The convergent opinion adjustment process takes place as a result of random binary…
Consensus control of multiagent systems arises in various robotic applications such as rendezvous and formation control. For example, to compute the control inputs of individual agents, the difference in the positions in aligned coordinate…
We study the consensus formation for an agents based model, generalizing that originally proposed by Krause \cite{Kr}, by allowing the communication channels between any couple of agents to be switched on or off randomly, at each time step,…
This work shows an approach to achieve output consensus among heterogeneous agents in a multi-agent environment where each agent is subject to input constraints. The communication among agents is described by a time-varying…
We present consensus analysis of systems with single integrator dynamics interacting via time-varying graphs under the event-triggered control paradigm. Event-triggered control sparsifies the control applied, thus reducing the control…

Non-uniform scaling control of formation enables multi-agent systems to adjust their shape by scaling with different ratios along different coordinate axes, offering enhanced flexibility in complex environments. However, like most existing…
In this paper, we develop a hybrid distance-angle rigidity theory that involves heterogeneous distances (or unsigned angles) and signed constraints for a framework in the 2-D and 3-D space. The new rigidity theory determines a (locally)…
This work considers the distance constrained formation control problem with an additional constraint requiring that the formation exhibits a specified spatial symmetry. We employ recent results from the theory of symmetry-forced rigidity to…
We consider flocking of self-propelling agents in two dimensions, each of which communicates with its neighbors within a limited vision cone. Also, the communication occurs with some delay. The communication among the agents are modeled by…
We investigate consensus formation and the asymptotic consensus times in stylized individual- or agent-based models, in which global agreement is achieved through pairwise negotiations with or without a bias. Considering a class of…
