This paper considers a problem of finding distributed controllers for the multi‐agent mass games, that is, to let agents organize themselves into a formation displaying a given grayscale image. As a solution to this problem, we propose distributed hybrid controllers. The key idea is to combine a coverage control method and halftone image processing, i.e. , to combine techniques from the control theory and the image processing. The performance of the proposed controllers is demonstrated by numerical experiments with standard images.© 2014 Chinese Automatic Control Society and Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd
