Abstract

This paper develops a model predictive flocking control scheme for the Cucker-Smale multi-agent model with input constraints. A decentralized controller is designed based only on neighboring measurements. Connectivity conditions are established for guaranteeing the convergence to a rigid flock. Finally, numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the control scheme.
