Distributed coordination of multi-agent networks: emergent problems, models, and issues

"Distributed Coordination of Multi-agent Networks introduces problems, models, and issues such as collective periodic motion coordination, collective tracking with a dynamic leader, and containment control with multiple leaders, and explores ideas for their solution. Solving these problems extends the existingapplication domains of multi-agent networks; for example, collective periodicmotion coordination is appropriate for applications involving repetitive movements, collective tracking guarantees tracking of a dynamic leader by multiplefollowers in the presence of reduced interaction and partial measurements, and containment control enables maneuvering of multiple followers by multiple leaders." Provides the reader with source code to replicate the simulation examples found in the book Experimental video and simulation animations available for the authors’ website Introduces readers to new research directions and problems in an exciting and active field in control and robotics INDICE: Part I: Preliminaries and Literature Review.- Preliminaries.- Overview of Recent Research in Distributed Multi-agent Coordination.- Part II: Emergent Problems in Distributed Multi-agent Coordination.- Collective Periodic Motion Coordination.- Collective Tracking with a Dynamic Leader.- Containment Control with Multiple Leaders.- Part III: Emergent Models in Distributed Multi-agent Coordination.- Networked Lagrangian Systems.- Networked Fractional-orderSystems.- Part IV Emergent Issues in Distributed Multi-agent Coordination.- Sampled-data Setting.- Optimality Aspect.- Time Delay.
