Modern control systems are featured by their hierarchical structure composed of cyber,
physical and human layers. The intricate dependencies among multiple layers and units of …

The main goal of this work is to design a team of agents that can accomplish consensus over
a common value for the agents' output using cooperative game theory approach. A semi …

This tutorial paper will discuss the development of novel state-of-the-art control approaches
and theory for complex systems based on machine intelligence in order to enable full …

We consider stationary consensus protocols for networks of dynamic agents with fixed
topologies. At each time instant, each agent knows only its and its neighbors' state, but must …

In this paper, we propose a novel continuous-time protocol that solves the consensus
problem on the median value, ie, it provides distributed agreement in networked multi-agent …

Cooperative control for rail vehicles is a new idea which builds on existing models and
methods developed in the context of flight formation and autonomous ground vehicles. The …

In this paper, an optimal control design strategy for guaranteeing consensus achievement in
a network of multiagent systems is developed. Minimization of a global cost function for the …

Multi-agent consensus problem in an obstacle-laden environment is addressed in this study.
A novel optimal control approach is proposed for the multi-agent system to reach consensus …

Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems: An Optimal and Robust Perspective reports
and encourages technology transfer in the field of cooperative control of multi-agent …

Recent technological advances in communications and computation have spurred a broad
interest in control of networks and control over networks. Network systems involve …
