Collective rotating motions of second-order multi-agent systems in three-dimensional space. (English) Zbl 1225.93018
Summary: This paper addresses collective rotating motions of second-order multi-agent systems in three-dimensional space (3D). Two distributed control protocols are proposed and sufficient conditions are derived under which all agents rotate around a common point with a specified formation structure. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
