Consensus based formation control strategies for multi-vehicle systems
Abstract
In this paper we first introduce a fundamental consensus algorithm for systems modeled by second-order dynamics. We then apply variants of the consensus algorithm to tackle formation control problems by appropriately choosing information states on which consensus is reached. Even in the absence of centralized leadership, the consensus based formation control strategies can guarantee accurate formation maintenance in the general case that information flow is unidirectional. We also show that existing leader-follower, behavioral, and virtual structure/virtual leader formation control approaches can be unified in the general framework of consensus building. A multi-vehicle formation control example is shown in simulation to illustrate our strategies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
