In the ring formation control problem, the follower is designated to approach a ring defined relative to the leader. This type of formation gives the follower more flexibility as it trails the leader. To achieve such formation, the follower’s …
Conventional leader-follower formations restrict the follower to a single desired position relative to the leader. To give the follower more flexibility in motion and to replicate typical human pilot operations, in this paper we propose a control …
Most conventional formation control algorithms consider convergence towards a specific desired point (or a specific desired displacement) for each vehicle relative to their neighbors. However, this specification restricts the flexibility in the …
