Abstract This paper proposes a general approach to design convergent coordination control laws for multiagent systems subject to motion constraints. The main contribution of this paper is to prove in a constructive way that a gradient-descent coordination control law designed for single integrators can be easily modified to adapt for various motion constraints such as nonholonomic dynamics, linear/angular velocity saturation, and other path constraints while preserving the convergence of the entire multiagent system. The proposed approach is applicable to a wide range of coordination tasks such as rendezvous and formation control in two and three dimensions. As a special application, the proposed approach solves the problem of distance-based formation control subject to nonholonomic and velocity saturation constraints.
