These agents, which can include a diverse range of elements such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), satellites, and more, collaborate and coordinate their actions through local information exchange. Formation tracking control is a crucial technical support and approach for the emergence of swarm intelligence at the motion control level. By implementing formation tracking control, swarm system agents can dynamically adjust their relationships within the state or output space through neighboring information interaction. This allows the swarm system to achieve favorable space-time conditions for various cooperative tasks, such as source seeking, target enclosing, and surveillance. Consequently, complex missions can be executed efficiently or cost-effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cross-domain collaborative applications, including air-ground coordination and air-sea coordination, swarm systems often comprise a diverse array of heterogeneous agents. Swarm intelligence can be further enhanced by the complementary functions of these agents. Achieving time-varying formation tracking for heterogeneous swarm systems is of paramount importance for cross-domain coordination, holding significant theoretical value and practical significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book offers a systematic theoretical approach and control framework for time-varying formation tracking in high-order heterogeneous swarm systems. It delves into distributed controller design and stability analysis for closed-loop systems addressing various formation tracking problems. Furthermore, the proposed control approaches are applied to practical cooperative experiment platforms consisting of UAVs and UGVs, conducting several formation tracking experiments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy exploring the principles and techniques of formation tracking control in swarm systems, this book provides valuable insights into the development of intelligent and autonomous systems capable of performing complex tasks in diverse environments. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of robotics, control systems, and artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 556g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 241 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032201160\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yongzhao Hua,Xiwang Dong,Zhang Ren","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105093251322,"sku":"9781032201160","price":92.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647341956330_book.jpg?v=1647360131","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/formation-tracking-control-for-heterogeneous-swarm-systems-9781032201160","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
