Abstract: This paper presents applications of the continuous feedback method to achieve path-following and a formation moving along the desired orbits within a finite time. It is assumed that the topology for the virtual leader and followers is directed. An additional condition of the so-called barrier function is designed to make all agents move within a limited area. A novel continuous finite-time path-following control law is first designed based on the barrier function and backstepping. Then a novel continuous finite-time formation algorithm is designed by regarding the path-following errors as disturbances. The settling-time properties of the resulting system are studied in detail and simulations are presented to validate the proposed strategies.
