报告内容简介:
Multi-agent Systems have the characteristics of cooperation and decentralization. Significant amount of efforts have been devoted to the control of multi-agent systems due to both its practical potential in various applications and theoretical challenges. Formation control is one of the important topics in multi-agent systems which enables to enhance the system performance. The fundamental objective for the system is to make a group of agents reach to and maintain a desired formation.In this talk, the concept and practical background of multi-agent systems are introduced. Then formation control scheme is presented for the systems. The control strategies to drive a group of elliptical agents to a predefined formation based on a reference formation are given, for which several algorithms are developed, such as searching, collision avoidance, and self-centre-based rotation. Examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
