Abstract

Abstract : The problems of multitarget selection and formation for multiagent systems are considered. First of all, an improved multitarget selection method based on auction algorithm is proposed such that each agent can automatically choose its target, and during the process of choosing targets, we apply an event-triggered mode to reduce the communication links between agents. Second, in view of the fact that all agents with the same target need to form a desired formation shape, we provide an event-triggered formation controller for each agent. Finally, we carry out the simulation experiment of the algorithm and the simulation results have illustrated the effectiveness of it.
