Collective control of a multiagent system is concerned with designing strategies for a group
of autonomous agents operating in a networked environment. The aim is to achieve a global …

Recent years have witnessed a trend to use networked multiple autonomous agents to
accomplish complex tasks arising from space-based applications, smart grids, and machine …

This paper presents three design techniques for cooperative control of multiagent systems
on directed graphs, namely, Lyapunov design, neural adaptive design, and linear quadratic …

This paper is concerned with synchronization of distributed node dynamics to a prescribed
target or control node dynamics. A design method is presented for adaptive synchronization …

This paper studies the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with nonuniform time-
delays and dynamically changing topologies. A linear consensus protocol is introduced to …

This article proposes and analyses distributed, leaderless, model-independent consensus
algorithms for networked Euler–Lagrange systems. We propose a fundamental consensus …

The consensus problem for multi-agent systems with input and communication delays is
studied based on the frequency-domain analysis. Two decentralized consensus conditions …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

This tutorial revisits several of the most recent passivity-based controllers for nonlinear
bilateral teleoperators with guaranteed stability properties. These schemes, which include …

The formation control problem of a team of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with communication delays is addressed. Based on the extraction …
