In this paper, we consider the coordination control of a group of autonomous mobile agents with multiple leaders. Different interconnection topologies are investigated. At first, a necessary and sufficient condition is proved in the case of…

This paper addresses the problem of distributed control for leader-follower multi-agent systems under prescribed performance guarantees. Leader-follower is meant in the sense that a group of agents with external inputs are selected as…

Coordinating multiple autonomous agents to reach a target region while avoiding collisions and maintaining communication connectivity is a core problem in multi-agent systems. In practice, agents have a limited communication range. Thus,…

Composite systems are large complex systems con- sisting of interconnected agents (subsystems). Agents in a com- posite system interact with each other towards performing an in- tended goal. Controllability is essential to achieve desired…

This paper considers the distributed robust control problems of uncertain linear multi-agent systems with undirected communication topologies. It is assumed that the agents have identical nominal dynamics while subject to different…

Controlling real-world networked systems, including ecological, biomedical, and engineered networks that exhibit higher-order interactions, remains challenging due to inherent nonlinearities and large system scales. Despite extensive…

This work aims to address the design of fully distributed control protocols for stochastic consensus, and, for the first time, establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the path-dependent and highly nonlinear closed-loop…

In this paper, we investigate the controllability of a class of formation control systems. Given a directed graph, we assign an agent to each of its vertices and let the edges of the graph describe the information flow in the system. We…

We consider the problem of steering a multi-agent system to multi-consensus, namely a regime where groups of agents agree on a given value which may be different from group to group. We first address the problem by using distributed…

In this paper, we study a model reduction technique for leader-follower networked multi-agent systems defined on weighted, undirected graphs with arbitrary linear multivariable agent dynamics. In the network graph of this network, nodes…

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for leader-follower multi-agent systems such that we can further apply prescribed performance control to achieve the desired formation while satisfying certain transient constraints. A…

In this paper, several necessary and sufficient graphical conditions are derived for the controllability of multi-agent systems by taking advantage of the proposed concept of controllability destructive nodes. A key step of arriving at this…

We propose a distributed event-triggered control law to solve the consensus problem for multi-agent systems with nonlinear output. Under the condition that the underlying digraph is strongly connected, we propose some sufficient conditions…

This paper addresses the challenge of network synchronization under limited communication, involving heterogeneous agents with different dynamics and various network topologies, to achieve consensus. We investigate the distributed adaptive…

Turing's model has been widely used to explain how simple, uniform structures can give rise to complex, patterned structures during the development of organisms. However, it is very hard to establish rigorous theoretical results for the…

We propose in the paper a novel framework for using a common control input to simultaneously steer an infinite ensemble of networked control systems. We address the problem of co-designing information flow topology and network dynamics of…

The distributed coordination problem of multi-agent systems is addressed in this paper under the assumption of intermittent communication between agents in the presence of time-varying communication delays. Specifically, we consider the…

This paper considers the leader-follower control problem for a linear multi-agent system with undirected topology and linear coupling subject to integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). A consensus-type control protocol is proposed based on…

In this paper, we consider the state controllability of networked systems, where the network topology is directed and weighted and the nodes are higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. We investigate how the…

Limited information availability represents a fundamental challenge for control of multi-agent systems, since an agent often lacks sensing capabilities to measure certain states of its own and can exchange data only with its neighbors. The…
