Abstract

Multi-agent formation control is an important part of distributed perception and cooperation, which is convenient to complete various complex tasks and would be a key research direction in the future. This paper reviews the corresponding problems of formation control and the existing centralized and distributed formation control strategies. In particular, we discuss four types of distributed formation control methods based on position and displacement in the global coordinate system and distance and bearing in the nonglobal coordinate system, respectively. Moreover, this paper analyzes affine formation which does not require the global coordinate system. Combined with the current practical applications of multi-agent systems, the latest research for the formation control of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), unmanned surface vehicle (USV) and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is given. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this burgeoning field are discussed.
