Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the position/orientation formation problem of multiple nonholonomic agents. Coordinate transformations are first presented to obtain the matrix form of formation error model, then a distributed smooth time-varying control law is designed based on a Lyapunov-like function. We prove that the closed-formation-system is globally asymptotically stable by Barbalat’s lemma if the communication graph is undirected, time-invariant and connected. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
