Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems

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 systems. The book deals with UGVs, UAVs, UUVs and spacecraft, and more. It presents an extended exposition of the authors' recent work on all aspects of multi-agent technology. Modelling and cooperative control of multi-agent systems are topics of great interest, across both academia (research and education) and industry (for real applications and end-users). Graduate students and researchers from a wide spectrum of specialties in electrical, mechanical or aerospace engineering fields will use this book as a key resource. Helps shape the reader's understanding of optimal and robust cooperative control design techniques for multi-agent systems Presents new theoretical control challenges and investigates unresolved/open problems Explores future research trends in multi-agent systems Offers a certain amount of analytical mathematics, practical numerical procedures, and actual implementations of some proposed approaches
