Each agent is able to continuously track the positions of all other agents currently within its "sensing region," where by an agent's sensing region we mean a closed disk of positive radius τ centered at the agent's current position. The multi-agent rendezvous problem is to devise "local" control strategies, one for each agent, which without any active communication between agents cause all members of the group to eventually rendezvous at a single unspecified location. This paper describes a family of unsynchronized strategies for solving the problem. Correctness is established appealing to the concept of "analytic synchronization."Keywords: Active communications; Asynchronous systems; Collective behaviors; Control strategies; Cooperative control; Distributed control; Mobile autonomous agents; Multi agents; Sensing regions; Agents; Autonomous agents; Control systems; Distributed parameter con Asynchronous systems; Cooperative control; Distributed control; Multi-agent systems200710.1137/0406205642016-02-24
