Motion Coordination for a Class of Multi-Agents via Networked Predictive Control

The motion coordination formation control problem for a class of non-linear system is considered in this paper, where networked induced time-delays exist in the feedback channel of each agent and in communication channels between agents. As a foundation work, a coordination formation controller in discrete-time domain that without time-delay is provided firstly. Based on the above results, a motion coordination predictive formation control strategy as well as its detail implementation processes are proposed to actively compensate the time-delays. Stability analysis and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed predictive strategy.
