Resumen: his paper investigates the convergence of nonholonomic multiagent coordinate-free formation control to a prescribed target formation subject to communication delays by means of Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach and smooth state-feedback control laws. As a result, an iterative algorithm based on linear matrix inequalities is provided to obtain the worst-case point-to-point delay under which the multiagent system is guaranteed to be stable. It is worth men- tioning that: (i) the given algorithm holds for any connected communication topology and (ii) the formation control is coordinate-free, that is, a common frame is not required to be shared between agents. The effectiveness of the given method is illustrated through simulation results.
