Abstract
Most previous studies ofmulti-agent systems only considered the first- and second-order dynamics. In this review, we present the major results and progress related to distributed high-order linear multi-agent coordination. We also discuss the current challenges and propose several promising research directions, as well as open problems that demand further investigation.
