Steering a Leader-Follower Team Via Linear Consensus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper considers the problem of driving a formation of autonomous mobile agents. The group of mobile devices is represented by a leader-follower network, where the followers update their position using a simple local consensus procedure, while the leaders, whose positions represent the control inputs of the network, are free to move. We characterize the transient behavior of the network, and we solve the containment problem without relying on auxiliary sensors.

Optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics
In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...
متن کاملGuaranteed Performance Leader-follower Control for Multi-agent Systems with Linear IQC-Constrained Coupling
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 each agent’s states relative its neighbors. In addition a selected set of agents uses for control their states relative the leader. Using a coordinate transfo...
متن کاملLeader-Follower Formation Control for Quadrotors
Quadrotors are gaining an increasing interest in public and extensively explored in recent years. In many situations, a team of quadrotors is desired to operate in a certain shape, which is also called formation. In this paper, a linear PID controller is used to control each single quadrotor and a slide mode controller is adopted to solve the formation flying problem which employs the leader-fo...
متن کاملControllability of Second Order Leader-Follower Systems ?
In this paper we study formation control of a network of communicating mobile agents with double integrator dynamics. All agents run a consensus algorithm, several leader agents are further subject to an external input. We put this problem in a control theoretical framework and show that the controllability of the entire system via external control input depends only on the controllability of t...
متن کاملGlobal Feedback Control for Coordinated Linear Switched Reluctance Machines Network with Full-State Observation and Internal Model Compensation
This paper discusses the tracking coordination of a linear switched reluctance machine (LSRM) network based on a global feedback control strategy with a full-state observation framework. The observer is allocated on the follower instead of the leader to form a leader–follower–observer network, by utilizing the leader as the global feedback tracking controller and the observer as the observation...
