“…If at least one of the quantities varies (speed, position, spacing, etc. ), the problem will be considered as a dynamic CFP [77][78][79]. The characteristics of CFP with reference to control and stability are further classified with respect to the center as follows [80]:…”

Distributed control solutions to the multi-agent systems in terms of coordination, formation, and consensus problems are extensively studied in the literature. The circular formation control of multi-agent systems becomes one of the most challenging and active research topics in distributed cooperative control. The research potential of circular formation control has grown especially in satellite formation and control. The circular formation control aims to drive a group of agents to move on a circular trajectory around a center with spacing adjustment to avoid the collision. This paper covers the fundamental research in consensus and formation control and the latest developments in the applications of formation control especially in circular formation control and stability analysis. Literature related to various control streams to achieve circular formation is discussed. Algebraic graph theory is used as a building block in problem definition, problem formulation, and solutions. A review of bearing, range, and received signal strength measurements with respect to circular formation control is presented. Leader following, behavior-based, artificial potential function, virtual structure, and cyclic pursuit are the methods discussed most in this context. The stabilization of the collective circular motion with the unicycles approach is also discussed. Further results on circular formation, several applications, and future research directions are presented.

“…Another issue in an adversarial multiagent environment is circumnavigation control, such as entrapping a hostile target. Yao et al (133) proposed distributed circumnavigation control with dynamic spacing for a heterogeneous multirobot system. They introduced utility and formation guidelines to address dynamic spacing according to the robots' properties and presented a theoretical analysis using graph theory along with experiments to prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm based on utilities.…”

Since its inception in 1997, RoboCup has developed into a truly unique and long-standing research community advancing robotics and artificial intelligence through various challenges, benchmarks, and test fields. The main purposes of this article are to evaluate the research and development achievements so far and to identify new challenges and related new research issues. Unlike other robot competitions and research conferences, RoboCup eliminates the boundaries between pure research activities and the development of full system designs with hardware and software implementations at a site open to the public. It also creates specific scientific and technological research and development challenges to be addressed. In this article, we provide an overview of RoboCup, including its league structure and related research issues. We also review recent studies across several research categories to show how participants (called RoboCuppers) address the research and development challenges before, during, and after the annual competitions. Among the diversity of research issues, we highlight two unique aspects of the challenges: the platform design of the robots and the game evaluations. Both of these aspects contribute to solving the research and development challenges of RoboCup and verifying the results from a common perspective (i.e., a more objective view). Finally, we provide concluding remarks and discuss future research directions.
