Description
Summary:In this paper, the formation control problem for a multi-agent system is studied. Two new robust control algorithms for serial and parallel formations respectively are proposed, which take the constraints of limited field of view into consideration. Without the need for any global information, the only relative information required is distance and bearing angle, thus is easy to implement with onboard directional sensors. It is then demonstrated how complex formations can be realized by combining the proposed basic controllers. Finally, effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is illustrated by numerical examples.
