Multi-Agent Formation Control and Target Tracking

Abstract

With the rapid development of sensor information, robot control and target tracking technology, the target tracking of single target and single agent cannot meet the needs of some occasion. In the past decades, multi-agent control and tracking algorithms have attracted more and more attention. Among them, the control problem of multi-agent has become the research focus of scholars. As an important aspect of multi-agent control problem, formation control has also made considerable development. It has played an important role in the fields of industry, civil affairs and military affairs [1]. Multi-agent formation has obvious advantages compared with the task of single agent, it can accomplish more and more complex tasks, and the efficiency of the task is greatly improved. The failure of a single agent in the system will not significantly affect the completion of the overall task. In order to improve the efficiency of multi-agent system, it is very necessary to study the task of multi-agent coordination. At present, the widely used intelligent formation tracking system includes the target detection and tracking system of unmanned aerial vehicle formation, the ground vehicle object tracking and detection system and the detection and tracking system of the sea surface ship area target.
