- This paper addresses the problem of achieving relative position-based formation control for leader-follower multi-agent systems in a distributed manner using a prescribed performance strategy. Both the first and second-order cases are treated and a leader-follower framework is introduced in the sense that a group of agents with external inputs are selected as leaders in order to drive the group of followers in a way that the entire system achieves a target formation within certain prescribed performance transient bounds. Under the assumption of tree graphs, a distributed control law is proposed for the first-order case when the decay rate of the performance functions is within a sufficient bound. Then, two classes of tree graphs that can have additional followers are investigated. For the second-order case, we propose a distributed control law based on a backstepping approach for the group ofleaders to steer the entire system achieving the target formation within the prescribed performance bounds. Finally, several simulation examples are given to illustrate the results.
