An overview of recent progress in high-order nonholonomic chained system control and distributed coordination

This paper reviews some main results and progress concerning with nonholonomic system control, especially focusing on the networked chained system coordination. The controllability of nonholonomic system, the control method of nonholonomic system, the chained form transformation, the basic graph theory for multi-agent systems are recalled, respectively. Some important definitions, lemmas, theorems and dynamics are elaborated. Both the consensus and formation control problems for networked nonholonomic chained systems are summarised. Finally, some open questions are proposed.
