Abstract：This paper investigates the stability of a class of multi-agent systems with leaders under plane and Gaussian profiles. The system consists of leaders and followers, but only the leaders have the knowledge about the environment;meanwhile, the specific attraction and repulsion function are extended to a class of functions with some properties. It is shown that under certain assumptions the follower agents can accurately reach the target or get away from the target in the absence of environmental information, only by the navigation of leader agents. The size of the bounded area in which the multi-agent system aggregates under different profiles is estimated. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the validation of the analytical results.
