This paper describes the application of a novel methodology for high-level control and
coordination of autonomous vehicle teams and its demonstration on high-fidelity models of …

This paper introduces two unique testbeds that have recently been developed to
demonstrate the cooperative control of teams of UAVs. The first testbed uses eight rovers …

Decentralized control methods are appealing in coordination of multiple vehicles due to their
low demand for long-range communication and their robustness to single-point failures. In …

This paper discusses the development and testing of a unique testbed consisting of a fleet of
eight autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that was designed as a platform for …

We consider the problem of formation flight for a set of unmanned air vehicles (UAV). We
propose a decentralized control design procedure which guarantees collision avoidance …

We present a framework for coordinated and distributed control of multiple autonomous
vehicles using artificial potentials and virtual leaders. Artificial potentials define interaction …

This paper addresses the development of cooperative rendezvous and cooperative target
classification agents in a hierarchical distributed control system for unmanned aerospace …

In this paper, we present a method for designing a decentralized control architecture,
distributed among autonomous agents, to achieve a leader/follower formation of terrestrial …

This paper considers the problem of distributed control of a platoon of vehicles with
nonlinear dynamics. We present distributed receding horizon control algorithms and derive …

Safety must be ensured in the deployment of multi-agent vehicle systems. This paper
presents decentralized collision avoidance algorithms for systems with second order …
