Formation Control for Multi-agent Systems: Introduction, Analysis and Design
Multi-agent Systems (MAS) are systems with characteristics of cooperation and decentralization. As the agents often work under complex circumstances, limitations of the hardware that include limited passive sensing and active communication capabilities are likely to be present. As a result of the localization conditions above, the agents need to cooperate in a distributed manner to achieve a common goal.
Formation control, which is one of the most popular topics within the realm of multi-agent systems, generally aims to drive multiple agents to achieve a desired scalable formation or time-varying formation changing. In this talk, depending on the agents’ sensing and interaction capabilities, the analysis and design of a variety of distributed formation control and some applications are introduced. Under complex circumstances, issues on collision avoidance and system robustness for MAS are also addressed. Simulation and Lab experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of some design schemes proposed in our group.

Prof. Peng Shi of School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering University of Adelaide
Biography:
Prof Peng Shi received the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and the PhD degree in Mathematics from the University of South Australia. He was awarded two higher doctorates -- Doctor of Science degree from the University of South Wales, and the Doctor of Engineering degree from the University of Adelaide. He is now a Professor at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Adelaide. His research interests include systems and control theory and applications to network systems, robotic and autonomous systems, and cyber-physical systems, and intelligent systems. He has been continuously recognised as a Highly-Cited Researcher in both fields of engineering and computer science by Clarivate Analytics/Thomson Reuters from 2014 to 2020, and listed in the Lifetime Achiever Leader-board by THE AUSTRALIAN in 2019 and 2020. He has served as Editor-in-Chief, Editor, Subject Editor-in-Chief, Special Issue Editor and Associate Editor for a number of journals, including Automatica and IEEE Transactions on (Automatic Control, Cybernetics, Circuits and Systems, Fuzzy Systems), IEEE Access and IEEE Control Systems Letters. He was an Australian Research Council College of Expert member, and a Board of Governors member of IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society (SMCS). He now serves as the President of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences, and the Vice President and Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE SMCS. He is a Member of the Academy of Europe, and a Fellow of IEEE, IET and IEAust.
