This paper studies a formation control problem for nonlinear multi-agent systems; specifically non-holonomic vehicles represented as linear parameter-varying (LPV) models are of interest here. The objective of this study is twofold. First, we demonstrate the applicability of a novel approach to distributed control for LPV decomposable systems (Hoffmann et al., 2013). Second, we investigate diff...

In this paper, considered is the evolution of a multi agent system (MAS) where every agent of the MAS is a ball in with radius ε. Evolution of the MAS occurs with n+1 agents, called leader agents, moving independently, with rest of the agents of the MAS, called follower agents, updating their positions through communication with n+1 local neighboring agents with weights of communication of foll...

In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...

The aim of this study was to design a navigation system composed of a human-controlled leader vehicle and a follower vehicle. The follower vehicle automatically tracks the leader vehicle. With such a system, a human driver can control two vehicles efficiently in agricultural operations. The tracking system was developed for the leader and the follower vehicle, and control of the follower was pe...

Innovation, and the creative thinking that provides basis for innovation, is of great value organizations. In this article we describe what needed people to think creatively, noting a complex, albeit voluntary, activity involving performance on certain types problems. The ways leaders influence peoples’ willingness engage in, ability solve, problems are then described. Leaders efforts must not ...

in this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. the error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. the introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

The literatures on both authentic leadership and behavioral integrity have argued that leader integrity drives follower performance. Yet, despite overlap in conceptualization and mechanisms, no research has investigated how authentic leadership and behavioral integrity relate to one another in driving follower performance. In this study, we propose and test the notion that authentic leadership ...

The leader-follower phenomenon is natural for many mobile objects acting collectively. It is possible to find the leader of such collective motion from trajectory data and use it to understand the motion pattern of the group. This work proposes a technique for detecting leader-follower relationships from trajectories of mobile objects, and represents them as a graph sequence. We apply this meth...
