Recently,coordinated control of multi-agent systems has been a hot topic in the control field,due to its wide application in cooperative control of multiple autonomous vehicles,traffic control of vehicles,formation control of unmanned aircrafts,resource allocation in networks and so on.Firstly,the introduction of background about multi-agent systems,the concepts of agents and the knowledge of the graph theory has been given.And then research status of swarming/flocking problems,formation control problems,consensus problems and network optimization are summarized and analyzed at home and abroad,including coordination control of multi-agent systems.Finally,some problems about multi-agent systems to be solved in future are proposed,in order to urge deep study on the theory and application in coordinated control of multi-agent systems.
