We invite submissions to the open invited track:
Advances in Rigidity Theory, Multi-Agent Formations, and Distributed Localization
at the upcoming IFAC World Congress in Busan, Republic of Korea
August 23–28, 2026
IFAC 2026 Website
Track Overview:
This invited track aims to bring together researchers working on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of graph rigidity, formation control, and distributed localization in multi-agent systems. Topics of interest include:
- Distance, bearing, angle, and sign rigidity theory
- Distributed formation control
- Localization using limited sensing and communication
- Coordination across UAVs, ground vehicles, satellites, and more
More details can be found on the session website
