Time-varying formation tracking for second-order multi-Agent systems with one leader

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Time-varying formation tracking analysis and design problems for second-order multi-Agent systems with one leader are studied respectively, where the states of followers form a predefined time-varying formation while tracking the state of the leader. A formation tracking protocol is constructed using only neighboring relative information. Necessary and sufficient conditions for second-order multi-Agent systems with one leader to achieve time-varying formation tracking are proposed by utilizing the properties of the Laplacian matrix, where the formation tracking feasibility constraint is also given. An approach to design the formation tracking protocol is proposed by solving an algebraic Riccati equation. The presented results can be applied to deal with the target enclosing problems and consensus tracking problems for second-order multi-Agent systems with one target/leader. An application in the target enclosing of multiple vehicles is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
