We are pleased to share that our work, “Formation Control via Rotation Symmetry Constraints,” was presented at the 2026 American Control Conference (ACC) in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The paper develops a new approach to formation control based on rotation symmetry constraints between neighboring agents. By exploiting rotational relationships rather than prescribing exact relative positions, the framework enables the characterization and stabilization of desired formations through a distributed control architecture. The work provides new insights into the role of symmetry in multi-agent coordination and formation control.

Beyond the technical program, it was great to spend the week in New Orleans with colleagues and friends, both old and new. ACC continues to be an outstanding venue for exchanging ideas, strengthening collaborations, and connecting with the broader control community.
