A distributed control law for quadrilateral (four-agent) formation control with bearing-only measurements and relative pair-wise inter-agent angle constraints is introduced. The control law is weak in the sense that each agent is free to choose their own heading within a relatively large region of values. Indeed, the agents can determine their heading independently at run-time given any criteria they desire as long as certain relaxed conditions are met. A strong convergence result is established with ensures the desired formation configuration is globally asymptotically stable. Illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the claims. © 2011 IEEE.
