A survey of multi-agent formation control

Abstract

"We present a survey of formation control of multi-agent systems. Focusing on the sensing capability and the interaction topology of agents, we categorize the existing results into position-, displacement-, and distance-based control. We then summarize problem formulations, discuss distinctions, and review recent results of the formation control schemes. Further we review some other results that do not fit into the categorization.
