...In a similar context, the authors in [9] and [10] propose a steering control which operates with homogeneous control gains, and depends on both positions and heading angles of the agents [9] or only on the heading angles of the agents with an additional external force applied to them [10]....

...Unlike [9] and [10], in the present work, the proposed feedback control uses heterogeneous control gains that ensures the robustness of the system against variations in the homogeneous control gains caused by physical implementation (by means of some electrical circuitry)....

...However, unlike [9] and [10], in this paper, we generalize existing results and propose a more realistic steering control law which uses heterogeneous control gains....
