We consider the decentralized control of a non-linear Cucker-Smale system of N agents with the aim of obtaining a desired predefined spatial pattern. Such multi-agent dynamics may exhibit self organization and emergent behaviour and have been proposed as a way to model satellite coordination, bird-flocking, social dynamics, and many other phenomena. The model and control scheme we propose allow the agents to reach consensus and a spatial pattern under certain conditions, while avoiding collisions between agents.
