TLDR
By "implicitly" integrating the leaders into the swarm, the proposed algorithm can not only guarantee a swarm of robots to move along predefined formation and track scheduled trajectory with certain velocity, dynamic leader reassignment is also realized, thus enhancing the adaptability and expansibility of the swarm.
Abstract
This paper mainly studies the motion consensus and formation control of robot swarm, and designs a new formation control and trajectory tracking algorithm based on artificial potential field method and implicit leaders. The algorithm can control the swarm to approach the desired formation and realize collision avoidance between robots. By "implicitly" integrating the leaders into the swarm, the proposed algorithm can not only guarantee a swarm of robots to move along predefined formation and track scheduled trajectory with certain velocity, dynamic leader reassignment is also realized, thus enhancing the adaptability and expansibility of the swarm. Numerical simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Distributed Leader–Follower Affine Formation Maneuver Control for High-Order Multiagent Systems

TL;DR: To steer a group of agents to maneuver with the desired collective forms, this article studies the affine formation maneuver control of high-order multiagent systems using a two-layered leader-follower strategy, in which agents are divided into three types: first leader, second leader group, and followers.

Prescribed Performance Distance-Based Formation Control of Multi-Agent Systems (Extended Version).

TL;DR: It is argued that the proposed approach increases formation robustness against shape distortions and can prevent formation convergence to incorrect shapes, which is likely to happen in conventional distance-based formation control methods.
