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…
The goal of this work is to propose an extension of the popular leader-follower framework for multi-agent collective tracking and formation maintenance in presence of a time- varying leader. In particular, the leader is persistently…
In this paper, we consider a leader-following consensus problem of a group of autonomous agents with time-varying coupling delays. Two different cases of coupling topologies are investigated. At first, a necessary and sufficient condition…
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 examines the structural controllability for a group of agents, called followers, connected to each other based on the consensus law under commands of multiple leaders, which are agents with superior capabilities, over a fixed…
In leader-follower multi-agent networks with switching topologies, choosing a subset of agents as leaders is a critical step to achieve desired performances. In this paper, we concentrate on the problem of selecting a minimum-size set of…
This note investigates how to design topology structures to ensure the controllability of multi-agent networks (MASs) under any selection of leaders. We put forward a concept of perfect controllability, which means that a multi-agent system…
This paper considers the distributed leader-follower stress-matrix-based affine formation control problem of discrete-time linear multi-agent systems with static and dynamic leaders. In leader-follower multi-agent formation control, the aim…
The paper considers event-triggered leader-follower tracking control for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics. For both undirected and directed follower graphs, we propose event triggering rules which guarantee bounded tracking…
The leader-following consensus of multiple linear time invariant (LTI) systems under switching topology is considered. The leader-following consensus problem consists of designing for each agent a distributed protocol to make all agents…
In the typical multiagent formation tracking problem centered on consensus, the prevailing assumption in the literature is that the agents' nonlinear models can be approximated by integrator systems, by their feedback-linearized…
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 investigate distributed multi-agent tracking of a convex set specified by multiple moving leaders with unmeasurable velocities. Various jointly-connected interaction topologies of the follower agents with uncertainties are…
The existing results on controllability of multi-agents networks are mostly based on homogeneous nodes. This paper focuses on controllability of heterogeneous multi-agent networks, where the agents are modeled as two types. One type is that…
This paper revisits a well studied leader-following consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems, while aiming at follower nodes' transient performance. Conventionally, when not all follower nodes have access to the leader's state…
The leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems over finite fields ${\mathbb F}_p$ is considered in this paper. Dynamics of each agent is governed by a linear equation over ${\mathbb F}_p$, where a distributed control protocol…
We address density control problems for large-scale multi-agent systems in leader-follower settings, where a group of controllable leaders must steer a population of followers toward a desired spatial distribution. Unlike prior work, we…
Controllability refers to a situation in which a Multi-agent System may be steered from one state to another using specified rules. As a result, there is belief in achieving a given condition by explicit advances. The level of dynamism in…
This paper considers the leader-follower control problem for a linear multi-agent system with directed communication topology and linear nonidentical uncertain coupling subject to integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). A consensus-type…
In this paper, the target controllability of multiagent systems under directed weighted topology is studied. A graph partition is constructed, in which part of the nodes are divided into different cells, which are selected as leaders. The…
