Adaptive 3D Distance-Based Formation Control of Multiagent Systems with Unknown Leader Velocity and Coplanar Initial Positions

This paper considers the distributed 3-dimensional (3D) distance-based formation control of multiagent systems, where the agents are connected based on an acyclic minimally structural persistent (AMSP) graph. A parameter is designed according to the desired formation shape and is used to solve the p...
