This paper investigates a distributed formation control problem for networked robots, with the global objective of achieving predefined time-varying formations in an environment with obstacles. A novel fixed-time behavioral approach is proposed to tackle the problem, where a global formation task is divided into two local prioritized subtasks, and each of them leads to a desired velocity that can achieve the individual task in a fixed time. Then, two desired velocities are combined via the framework of the null-space-based behavioral projection, leading to a desired merged velocity that guarantees the fixed-time convergence of task errors. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is demonstrated by simulation results.

In this paper, we extend the results from Jiao et al. (2019) on distributed linear quadratic control for leaderless multi-agent systems to the case of distributed linear quadratic tracking control for leader-follower multi-agent systems. Given one au tonomous leader and a number of homogeneous followers, we introduce an associated global quadratic cost functional. We assume that the leader shares its state information with at least one of the followers and the communication between the followers is represented by a connected simple undirected graph. Our objective is to design distributed control laws such that the controlled network reaches tracking consensus and, moreover, the associated cost is smaller than a given tolerance for all initial states bounded in norm by a given radius. We establish a centralized design method for computing such suboptimal control laws, involving the solution of a single Riccati inequality of dimension equal to the dimension of the local agent dynamics, and the smallest and the largest eigenvalue of a given positive definite matrix involving the underlying graph. The proposed design method is illustrated by a simulation example.
In this paper, we investigate the fixed-time behavioral control problem for a team of second-order nonlinear agents, aiming to achieve a desired formation with collision/obstacle~avoidance. In the proposed approach, the two behaviors(tasks) for each agent are prioritized and integrated via the framework of the null-space-based behavioral projection, leading to a desired merged velocity that guarantees the fixed-time convergence of task errors. To track this desired velocity, we design a fixed-time sliding mode controller for each agent with state-independent adaptive gains, which provides a fixed-time convergence of the tracking error. The control scheme is implemented in a distributed manner, where each agent only acquires information from its neighbors in the network. Moreover, we adopt an online learning algorithm to improve the robustness of the closed system with respect to uncertainties/disturbances. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
This paper presents a decentralized controller for sharing primary AC frequency control reserves through a multi-terminal HVDC grid. By using Lyapunov arguments, the proposed controller is shown to stabilize the equilibrium of the closed-loop system consisting of the interconnected AC and HVDC grids, given any positive controller gains. The static control errors resulting from the proportional controller are quantified and bounded by analyzing the equilibrium of the closed-loop system. The proposed controller is applied to a test grid consisting of three asynchronous AC areas interconnected by an HVDC grid, and its effectiveness is validated through simulation.
This paper considers the distributed sampled-data control problem of a group of mobile robots connected via distance-induced proximity networks. A dwell time is assumed in order to avoid chattering in the neighbor relations that may be caused by abru pt changes of positions when updating information from neighbors. Distributed sampled-data control laws are designed based on nearest neighbour rules, which in conjunction with continuous-time dynamics results in hybrid closed-loop systems. For uniformly and independently initial states, a sufficient condition is provided to guarantee synchronization for the system without leaders. In order to steer all robots to move with the desired orientation and speed, we then introduce a number of leaders into the system, and quantitatively establish the proportion of leaders needed to track either constant or time-varying signals. All these conditions depend only on the neighborhood radius, the maximum initial moving speed and the dwell time, without assuming a prior properties of the neighbor graphs as are used in most of the existing literature.
This paper is concerned with the distributed linear quadratic optimal control problem. In particular, we consider a suboptimal version of the distributed optimal control problem for undirected multi-agent networks. Given a multi-agent system with ide ntical agent dynamics and an associated global quadratic cost functional, our objective is to design suboptimal distributed control laws that guarantee the controlled network to reach consensus and the associated cost to be smaller than an a priori given upper bound. We first analyze the suboptimality for a given linear system and then apply the results to linear multiagent systems. Two design methods are then provided to compute such suboptimal distributed controllers, involving the solution of a single Riccati inequality of dimension equal to the dimension of the agent dynamics, and the smallest nonzero and the largest eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian. Furthermore, we relax the requirement of exact knowledge of the smallest nonzero and largest eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian by using only lower and upper bounds on these eigenvalues. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate our design method.
