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...

Handling Editor: Stephanie Castro Weexamined follower relational identificationwith the leader as amediator and follower perceptions of leader creativity expectations as amoderator in the relationship between transformational leadership and follower creativity. Using a sample of 420 leader–follower dyads from an energy company in mainland China, we found that follower relational identification ...

The problem of attitude consensus control is addressed for multiple rigid spacecraft under a fixed interaction network where only subset followers can obtain the leader's state information. To estimate and angular velocity leader, group distributed finite-time observers constructed each follower. Then fast non-singular terminal sliding mode controllers are proposed based on observed Rigorous pr...

We propose predefined-time consensus-based cooperative guidance laws for a swarm of interceptors to simultaneously capture target capable executing various kinds motions. Unlike leader-follower techniques, the has no leader and each interceptor executes its own command in distributive fashion, thus obviating residency mission over single interceptor. first design commands subject target's mobil...

In this paper we introduce a Leader-follower consensus protocol and study its stability properties with and without communication delays. On the practical side, we explore its application on coordinating a group of wind Double-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) with integrated storage. To begin with, we establish asymptotic stability of the consensus protocol by employing singular perturbation th...

Abstract. We solve the formation-tracking control problem for mobile robots via linear control, under the assumption that each agent communicates only with one “leader” robot and with one follower. As in the classical tracking control problem for nonholonomic systems, the swarm is driven by a fictitious robot which moves about freely and which is leader to one robot only. For a spanning-tree to...

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...
