This paper examines stability properties of distance-based formation control when the underlying topology consists of a rigid graph and a flex node addition. It is shown that the desired equilibrium set is locally asymptotically stable but there exist undesired equilibria. Specifically, we further consider two cases where the rigid graph is a triangle in 2-D and a tetrahedral in 3-D, and prove that any undesired equilibrium point in these cases is unstable. Thus in these cases, the desired…

Three-dimensional hierarchical formation control method for multi-agent systems with time delay

In this paper, a novel hierarchical formation control strategy is proposed for multi-agent systems with time delay, which can not only guarantee the stability of the formation but also expand the…

Stability analysis on four agent tetrahedral formations

By investigating the linearized dynamics of the system, it is proved that all incorrect equilibria are unstable, which results in that desired formation shape is almost globally asymptotically stable.

Stabilisation of infinitesimally rigid formations of multi-robot networks

It is shown that infinitesimal rigidity is a sufficient condition for local asymptotical stability of the equilibrium manifold of the multivehicle system.

Formation shape control: Global asymptotic stability of a four-agent formation

It is proved that any incorrect equilibrium formation shape is locally unstable for formations with internal angles that satisfy an acuteness condition and thereby establish that the desired formation shape, for all practical purposes, is globally asymptotically stable.

Global stabilization of rigid formations in the plane

Controlling rectangular formations

This paper studies formation shape control of four point agents in the plane and derives two main results: that each such incorrect equilibrium is attached to at most one desired formation and that all such equilibria are unstable if the desired formation is a rectangle.

Necessary and Sufficient Graphical Conditions for Affine Formation Control

It is shown in this paper that an affine formation is stabilizable over an undirected graph if and only if the undirecting graph is universally rigid, while an affines formation is stable over a directed graph in the d-dimensional space if andonly if the directed graph is (d + 1)-rooted.

Geometric Analysis of the Formation Problem for Autonomous Robots

A differential geometric approach is pursued and purely algebraic conditions for local stability of invariant embedded submanifolds are derived and result in instability of all invariant sets other than the target formation.

Formation Control and Network Localization via Orientation Alignment

Under the proposed strategy, if the interaction graph is uniformly connected and all the initial orientation angles belong to an interval with length less than π, the orientations are exponentially aligned and the formation exponentially converges to the desired formation.

Distance‐based undirected formations of single‐integrator and double‐integrator modeled agents in n‐dimensional space

We study the local asymptotic stability of undirected formations of single‐integrator and double‐integrator modeled agents based on interagent distance control. First, we show that n‐dimensional…
