            Abstract : 
In this paper mobile multi-agent systems with limited sensor information are studied. Some control algorithms are proposed that do not require global information, and are easy to implement. First two basic controls for a single mobile agent tracking another moving object are derived. Then it is shown how these basic controls can be combined in order to achieve more complex formations.
