Abstract
A distributed leader-follower flocking problem of multiple robotic fish governed by extended second-order unicycles is studied in this paper. The multi-agent system consists of only one leader with pre-appointed and bounded speeds. A distributed flocking algorithm on the basis of the combination of consensus and attractive/repulsive functions is investigated, in which adaptive strategy is adopted to compute the weight of the velocity coupling strengths. The proposed control algorithm enables followers to asymptotically track the leader’s varying velocities and approach the equilibrium distances with their neighbors. Furthermore, the arbitrarily-shaped formation flocking problem of the system can also be solved by adding the information of a desired formation topology to the potential function term. Finally, simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
