In order to speed up the state convergence in the multi-Agent formation control process, a formation control method based on multi-hop network technology was proposed. Firstly, the relative velocity deviation between Agents of Multi-Agent System (MAS) was introduced into the control protocol. Then, the absolute displacement deviation between Agents and the standard displacement was introduced. Finally, the multi-hop network technology was applied in the communication topology, so more information was passed around and each Agent enlarges its "available" neighborhood. A six-Agent formation control example was used to verify the proposed protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can make the system build up the specified formation; and the time required for state convergence is reduced by nearly 10 seconds compared with the control method that does not take into account multi-hop network technology, which verifies that the proposed method is more efficient.
