Controller Synthesis for Infinitesimally Shape-Similar Formations

Ian Buckley,Magnus Egerstedt,Ian Buckley,Magnus Egerstedt

The interplay between network topology and the interaction modalities of a multi-robot team fundamentally impact the types of formations that can be achieved. To explore the trade-offs between network structure and the sensing and communication capabilities of individual robots, this paper applies controller synthesis to formation control of infinitesimally shape-similar frameworks, for which main...
