This article presents a scalable hierarchical distributed control framework to address the
problem of collective navigation of a quadcopter swarm, which is a special form of Internet of …

Solving an output consensus problem in multi-agent systems is often hindered by multiple
time-variant delays. To address such fundamental problems over time, we present a new …

This dissertation discusses the control of parent-child systems in which a parent system is
acted on by a set of controllable child systems (ie a swarm). Using swarms of robots to …

Generalization extracts common features from target concepts and rephrases them into an
abstract concept. This operation is often used to acquire knowledge from examples that use …

Many high-dimensional systems can be decomposed into a swarm of subsystems
manipulating a parent system, each with its own dynamics. Rather than design control laws …

With simplicity in design, decrease in size, and cost of robots, robotic swarms, are foreseen
as a practical solution to revolutionize execution of various complex tasks that are too risky …
