Abstract :
This paper investigates a coordinated control problem of multi-agent systems with a virtual leader. We propose a bounded distributed control algorithm for each agent. Under the condition that the initial network is connected, all agents can attain the same position and move with the same velocity. A simulation example is proposed to illustrate the effective of the proposed algorithm.
