A robot configured to be operable within a multi-robot system. The robot includes an input configured to receive global coordinate state information of the robot and of any neighboring robots or obstacles; and processing circuitry configured to: transform the global coordinate state information into a relative coordinate system that is with respect to the robot and is based on a type of desired formation of the robot and any neighboring robots or obstacles around a point; generate a reference formation algorithm which is based on the desired formation; and controlling, based on the reference formation algorithm and tracking errors between the desired formation and a current state of the robot, a trajectory of the robot to converge towards the desired formation while avoiding collisions with any neighboring robots or obstacles.
