Infinitesimal Weak Rigidity, Formation Control of Three Agents, and Extension to 3-dimensional Space

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce new concepts of weak rigidity matrix and infinitesimal weak rigidity for planar frameworks. The weak rigidity matrix is used to directly check if a framework is infinitesimally weakly rigid while previous work can check a weak rigidity of a framework indirectly. An infinitesimal weak rigidity framework can be uniquely determined up to a translation and a rotation (and a scaling also when the framework does not include any edge) by its inter-neighbor distances and angles. We apply the new concepts to a three-agent formation control problem with a gradient control law, and prove instability of the control system at any incorrect equilibrium point and convergence to a desired target formation. Also, we propose a modified Henneberg construction, which is a technique to generate minimally rigid (or weakly rigid) graphs. Finally, we extend the concept of the weak rigidity in R to the concept in R.

On Rigid and Infinitesimal Rigid Displacements in Three-Dimensional Elasticity
Let Ω be an open connected subset of R and letΘ be an immersion from Ω into R. It is first established that the set formed by all rigid displacements, i.e., that preserve the metric, of the open set Θ(Ω) is a submanifold of dimension 6 and of class C∞ of the space H(Ω). It is then shown that the vector space formed by all the infinitesimal rigid displacements of the same set Θ(Ω) is nothing but...
متن کاملDeformations of Vector Fields and Hamiltonian Vector Fields on the Plane
For the Lie algebras L\(H(2)) and L\(W(2)), we study their infinitesimal deformations and the corresponding global ones. We show that, as in the case of L\{W(\)), each integrable infinitesimal deformation of L\(H(2)) and L1(W/(2)) can be represented by a 2-cocycle that defines a global deformation by means of a trivial extension. We also illustrate that all deformations of L\{H{2)) arise as res...

Let be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on . Furthermore, the correspondence gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...
متن کاملThree and higher dimensional autonomous formations: Rigidity, persistence and structural persistence
In this paper, we generalize the notion of persistence, which has been originally introduced for two-dimensional formations, to R for d 3, 11 seeking to provide a theoretical framework for real world applications, which often are in three-dimensional space as opposed to the plane. Persistence captures the desirable property that a formation moves as a cohesive whole when certain agents maintain...
متن کاملAirborne Seeker Application in Three Dimensional Formation Flight of UAVs
This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
