Abstract

This paper studies the formation control problem for systems consisting of multiple mobile agents that are described by first-order differential equations and second-order differential equations respectively. The following issues are investigated: bounded input, disturbance, and time delay. In derivation of the main results, a blend of graph-theoretic and system-theoretic tools is employed, where local potential functions and LaSalle’s Invariant Principle play central roles. Finally, numerical examples which support the analytical results very well are also included.
