Abstract :
In this paper, we study distributed rotating consensus in networks of second-order agents using only local position information in three-dimensional (3-D) space. We propose a protocol to make the multi-agent system to finally move together around a common point and present corresponding conditions for rotating consensus of the system. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
