Leader Follower Formation

Leader-follower formation control focuses on coordinating the movement of multiple agents, where a designated leader guides a group of followers to maintain a specific geometric pattern. Current research emphasizes robust control strategies, often employing control barrier functions or neural networks, to ensure safety and stability in the presence of obstacles, communication limitations, and dynamic environments. This field is crucial for advancing multi-agent systems in various applications, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles, by enabling complex coordinated behaviors and improved performance in challenging scenarios.
