Asynchronous Cyclic Pursuit

چکیده
In this article we study the convergence of the positions of a multi-agent system in a cyclic pursuit under asynchronism and time delays. Each agent is assumed to operate on an infinite sequence of behaviors modeled by a finite state machine, which is represented by a discrete asynchronous mathematical model on a higher-level. The results on the convergence of the synchronous model is used in the proof of convergence of the asynchronous system. Numerical simulations are also performed to verify the theoretical results.

A Study of Balanced Circular Formation under Deviated Cyclic Pursuit Strategy
This paper deals with the study of balanced circular formation for n unicycles agents. It has been presented in the literature that there exists more than one balanced circular formation when the agents are following cyclic pursuit strategy. We modify cyclic pursuit strategy by introducing a parameter called deviation angle with the hope to get unique equilibrium formation. The modified strateg...
متن کاملControl of Agent Swarms Using Generalized Centroidal Cyclic Pursuit Laws
One of the major tasks in swarm intelligence is to design decentralized but homogenoeus strategies to enable controlling the behaviour of swarms of agents. It has been shown in the literature that the point of convergence and motion of a swarm of autonomous mobile agents can be controlled by using cyclic pursuit laws. In cyclic pursuit, there exists a predefined cyclic connection between agents...
متن کاملCollective Motion under Beacon-referenced Cyclic Pursuit
Cyclic pursuit frameworks, which are built upon pursuit interactions between neighboring agents in a cycle graph, provide an efficient way to create useful global behaviors in a collective of autonomous robots. Previous work has considered cyclic pursuit with a constant bearing (CB) pursuit law and has demonstrated the existence of circling equilibria for the corresponding dynamics. In this wor...
متن کاملPursuit Formation Control Scheme for Double-Integrator Multi-Agent Systems
Pursuit formation control of double-integrator Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) is considered in this paper. To achieve a formation, a hierarchical control scheme is proposed in two layers. In the first layer, in a leaderless architecture, each agent pursues another one in a cyclic topology to achieve a regular polygon formation around a centroid, namely, pursuit centroid, and in the second layer, th...
متن کاملCompiled Unit-delay Simulation for Cyclic Circuits
Three techniques are presented for handling cyclic circuits in a compiled unit-delay simulation. These techniques are based on the PC-set Method and the Parallel Technique of compiled unit-delay simulation. The first technique, called the Synchronous Parallel Technique, is applicable only to synchronous circuits, but provides significant performance improvements over interpreted unit-delay simu...
