title = "Distributed formation stabilization for mobile agents using virtual tensegrity structures",
abstract = "This paper investigates the distributed formation control problem for a group of mobile Euler-Lagrange agents to achieve global stabilization by using virtual tensegrity structures. Firstly, a systematic approach to design tensegrity frameworks is elaborately explained to confine the interaction relationships between agents, which allows us to obtain globally rigid frameworks. Then, based on virtual tensegrity frameworks, distributed control strategies are developed such that the mobile agents converge to the desired formation globally. The theoretical analysis is further validated through simulations.",
