In this paper, we deal with the distributed concurrent targeting problem for a queue of rotatable point-sources in order to regulate their orientations to a common target in a distributed fashion. The point-source's orientation is described by a half-line at the point-source with two angles between the half-line and its projection line on the O-YZ plane and respectively the Y-axis. These point-sources are deployed arbitrarily on the Y-axis without superposition. We assume that the two point-sources at the two ends already point to the desired, static target. We want to stress that they do not know where the target is and only know partial information of the target's position. However, the collection of the target's position information at the two ends is complete. The other point-sources regulate their orientations through working together with their neighbors at the left-hand and the right-hand sides. In this distributed way, the complete information of the target's position can be shared implicitly among these point-sources. Under this setting, a suitable distributed control protocol is proposed to regulate the orientations of all point-sources to the same target. The main idea is to exploit the geometric relations of the half-lines and the angles, which are used in the protocol design. Rigorous arguments are given to validate the distributed algorithm along with numerical simulations. Finally, possible future works close the paper. |
