Multiple non-cooperative targets encirclement by relative distance based positioning and neural anti-synchronization control

From prehistoric encirclement for hunting to GPS orbiting the earth for positioning, target encirclement has numerous real world applications. However, encircling multiple non-cooperative targets in GPS-denied environments remains challenging. In this work, multiple targets encirclement by using a m...
