This letter presents a smooth time-varying δ-persistently exciting controller for full consensus of autonomous nonholonomic vehicles modeled as unicycles. This consists in the robots assuming a common prescribed Cartesian position relative to an unknown barycentre and an unknown common orientation. More significantly, for the first time in the literature, a strict Lyapunov function is provided and...
