Source overview

Avoid-set boundaries trigger collision-avoidance maneuvers for second-order vehicles with acceleration limits. Simulations and quadrotor flights evaluate the added safety layer alongside existing cooperative controllers.

Use and review

Abstract and bibliography checked. Guarantees differ with agent count, cooperation and dynamics assumptions; large-swarm generalization requires care.
