Bearing-Constrained Leader-Follower Formation of Single-Integrators with Disturbance Rejection: Adaptive Variable-Structure Approaches

This paper studies the problem of stabilizing a leader-follower formation specified by a set of bearing constraints and being disturbed by some unknown uniformly bounded disturbance{s}. A set of leaders are positioned at their desired positions, while each follower is modeled by a single integrator with an additive time-varying disturbance. Adaptive variable-structure control laws using displacements or only bearing vectors are provided to stabilize the desired formation. Thanks to the adaptive mechanisms, the proposed control laws require neither information of the bearing Laplacian nor the disturbances' directions and upper bounds. It is further proved that when the leaders are moving with a same bounded uniformly continuous velocity, the moving target formation can still be achieved under the proposed control laws. Simulation results are also given to support the stability analysis.

Matrix-Scaled Consensus

This paper proposes matrix-scaled consensus algorithm, which generalizes the scaled consensus algorithm in \cite{Roy2015scaled}. In (scalar) scaled consensus algorithms, the agents' states do not converge to a common value, but to different points along a straight line in the state space, which depends on the scaling factors and the initial states of the agents. In the matrix-scaled consensus algorithm, a positive/negative definite matrix weight is assigned to each agent. Each agent updates its state based on the product of the sum of relative matrix scaled states and the sign of the matrix weight. Under the proposed algorithm, each agent asymptotically converges to a final point differing with a common consensus point by the inverse of its own scaling matrix. Thus, the final states of the agents are not restricted to a straight line but are extended to an open subspace of the state-space. Convergence analysis of matrix-scaled consensus for single and double-integrator agents are studied in detail. Simulation results are given to support the analysis.

Decentralized sliding-mode control laws for the bearing-based formation tracking problem

This paper studies the time-varying bearing-based tracking of leader-follower formations. The desired constraints between agents are specified by bearing vectors, and several leaders are moving with a bounded reference velocity. Each followers can measure the relative positions of its neighbors, its own velocities, and receive information from their neighbors. Under the assumptions that the desired formation is infinitesimally bearing rigid and the local reference frames of followers are aligned with each other, two control laws are presented in this paper based on sliding mode control approach. Stability analyses are given based on Lyapunov stability theory and supported by numerical simulations.

Distance-Based Formation Tracking with Unknown Bounded Reference Velocities

This paper studies a leader-follower formation tracking problem where the leaders are moving at the same unknown bounded velocity. A distance-based control law is proposed for follower agents to maintain the desired distances in the formation and move at the leaders' velocity. The control law consists of a component to handle the uncertainty of the leaders' velocity and a component to achieve the desired distances in finite time. Numerical simulations are also provided to support the theoretical results.
