We propose solutions that are based on bearing (and optionally distance) measurements, and agents with double integrator dynamics. We assume that a subset of the agents can track, in addition to their neighbors, a set of static features in the environment. These features are not considered to be part of the formation, but they are used to asymptotically control the velocity of the agents. We analyze the convergence properties of the proposed protocols analytically and through simulations.p. 446 - 452en-USScience & technologyAutomation & control systemsEngineering, electrical & electronicShape controlIntegratorFlockingLocalizationConference materials10.1109/CDC.2018.86193930000-0002-6676-8595 (Tron, Roberto)451366
