“…The coordinated control of multiple robotic agents has attracted a lot of attention among robotic researchers and engineers due to its effective applications of vehicles teamwork in the autonomous exploration, automotive industries, intelligent transportation systems, surveillance, coverage, reconnaissance, rescue operations, and so on over recent years. 1–21 The formation control problem is related to the design of stabilizing, tracking, or path-following controllers to make a team of robots preserve or track desired postures with respect to one or more reference robots. From a literature review, there exist many research works on the formation control of robots by either behavior-based, 1 virtual structure, 2,3 or leader-following approaches.…”
