Distributed Control of Networked Multi-agent Systems: Algorithms and Applications
摘要：
While autonomous agents that perform solo missions can yield significantbenefits, greater efficiency and operational capability will be realized fromteams of autonomous agents operating in a coordinated fashion. Potentialapplications for networked multiple autonomous agents include environmentalmonitoring, search and rescue, space-based interferometers, hazardous materialhandling, and combat, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Networkedmulti-agent systems place high demands on features such as low cost, highadaptivity and scalability, increased flexibility, great robustness, and easymaintenance. To meet these demands, the current trend is to design distributedcontrol algorithms that rely on only local interaction to achieve global groupbehavior.The purpose of thistalk is to overview our recent research in distributed control of networkedmulti-agent systems. Theoretical results on distributed leaderless consensuswith vehicle dynamics including first- and second-order linear dynamics, rigidbody attitude dynamics, and Euler-Lagrange dynamics, distributed single-leadercollective tracking with reduced interaction and partial measurements,distributed multi-leader containment control with local interaction, anddistributed average tracking with multiple time-varying reference signals.Application examples in multi-vehicle cooperative control including rendezvous,formation keeping, and cooperative herding for wheeled mobile robots, UAVformation flying, deep space spacecraft attitude alignment, and synchronizationof networked robotic arms will also be introduced.
