Line formation of migrating birds is well-accepted to be caused by birds exploiting wake benefits to save energy expenditure. A flying bird generates wingtip trailing vortices that stir the surrounding air upward and downward, and the following bird can get a free supportive lift when positioned at the upward airflow region. However, little to no a...
This article revisits the problem of secure state estimation of multiagent systems under homologous attacks in [1]. We first characterize the condition on agents dynamics such that agents states can be uniquely solved from the attacked measurements of agents outputs. This condition implies that the conclusion in [1] that the attack signal and agent...
In this paper, we study spacecraft orbital pursuit–evasion games under J2 perturbations. We consider that situation where the thrust of each player is constrained and the control direction cannot deviate from the velocity more than a given angle. After characterizing the optimal control of players under direction constraints, we transfer the pursui...
This article studies 2-D formation stabilization and maneuvering of mobile agents governed by double-integrator dynamics. The desired formation is described by a set of triple-agent interior angles. A carefully chosen such set of angle constraints guarantees that the desired formation is angle rigid. To achieve the desired angle rigid formation, a...
This paper studies the resilient control of networked systems in the presence of cyber attacks. In particular, we consider the state feedback stabilization problem for nonlinear systems when the state measurement is sent to the controller via a communication channel that only has a finite transmitting rate and is moreover subject to cyber attacks i...
Angle rigid formations have the advantage of requiring only bearing measurements in their implementation. However, the capability of controlling the orientation and scale of these formations has not been explored. This undetermined orientation and scale can degrade the robustness of the formation against measurement noise. To maintain both advantag...
This note focuses on the distributed estimation of time-varying bias signals in relative state measurements of sensors, where each sensor measures the relative state of neighboring sensors and the measurements contain a time-varying bias signal that is generated from a linear exo-systems. Assume that sensors can communicate with others, we propose...

We analyze the conditions under which the emergence of frequently observed echelon formation can be explained solely by the maximization of energy savings. We consider a two-dimensional multi-agent echelon formation, where each agent receives a benefit that depends on its position relative to the others, and adjusts its position to increase this be...
This paper investigates the problem of estimating biases affecting relative state measurements in a sensor network. Each sensor measures the relative states of its neighbors and this measurement is corrupted by a constant bias. We analyse under what conditions on the network topology and the maximum number of biased sensors the biases can be correc...
This paper investigates the proximity satellite pursuit-evasion game where the pursuer carries three orthogonal thrusters, each of which can exert a magnitude-limited force along one axis, while the evader has a single thruster which can produce a bounded acceleration in any direction. The pursuer or the evader tries their best to capture or escape...
In a consensus network subject to non-zero mean noise, the system state may be driven away even when the disagreement exhibits a bounded response. This is unfavourable in applications since the nodes may not work properly and even be faulty outside their operating region. In this paper, we propose a new control algorithm to mitigate this issue by a...

This paper deals with coordination problems over noisy communication channels. We consider a scenario where the communication between network nodes is corrupted by unknown-but-bounded noise. We introduce a novel coordination scheme which ensures (i) boundedness of the state trajectories, and (ii) a linear map from the noise to the nodes disagreemen...
This paper investigates coordination problems over packet-based communication channels. We consider the scenario in which the communication between network nodes is corrupted by unknown-but-bounded noise. We introduce a novel coordination scheme, which ensures practical consensus in the noiseless case, while preserving bounds on the nodes disagreem...
This paper studies the proximate satellite interception guidance strategies where both the interceptor and target can perform orbital maneuvers with magnitude limited thrusts. This problem is regarded as a pursuit-evasion game since satellites in both sides will try their best to capture or escape. In this game, the distance of these two players is...
External perturbations and actuator faults are two practical and significant issues that deserve designers' considerations when synthesizing the controllers for spacecraft rendezvous. A composite robust fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme that does not require the fault information is proposed in this paper for limited-thrust rendezvous in nearcirc...
