This thesis is concerned with distributed control and coordination of networks consisting of multiple, potentially mobile, agents. This is motivated mainly by the emergence of large scale networks characterized by the lack of centralized…
We study the problem of strong coordination in a three-terminal line network, in which agents use common randomness and communicate over a line network to ensure that their actions follow a prescribed behavior, modeled by a target joint…
A wide range of multi-agent coordination problems including reference tracking and disturbance rejection requirements can be formulated as a cooperative output regulation problem. The general framework captures typical problems such as…
In this letter, we investigate a coordinated multiple point (CoMP)-aided integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system that supports multiple users and targets. Multiple base stations (BSs) employ a coordinated power allocation…
Multi-agent systems cooperation to achieve global goals is usually limited by sensing, actuation, and communication issues. At the local level, continuous measurement and actuation is only approximated by the use of digital mechanisms that…
In this paper, we study asynchronous consensus problems of continuous-time multi-agent systems with discontinuous information transmission. The proposed consensus control strategy is implemented only based on the state information at some…
Action-dependent channels model scenarios in which transmission takes place in two successive phases. In the first phase, the encoder selects an "action" sequence, with the twofold aim of conveying information to the receiver and of…
In this paper, we propose a model predictive control based operation strategy that allows for power exchange between interconnected microgrids. Particularly, the approach ensures that each microgrid benefits from power exchange with others.…

In this paper we present a computational modeling account of an active self in artificial agents. In particular we focus on how an agent can be equipped with a sense of control and how it arises in autonomous situated action and, in turn,…
This paper mainly investigates consensus problem with pull-based event-triggered feedback control. For each agent, the diffusion coupling feedbacks are based on the states of its in-neighbors at its latest triggering time and the next…
We study the problem of how to coordinate the actions of independent agents in a distributed system where message arrival times are unbounded, but are determined by an exponential probability distribution. Asynchronous protocols executed in…

This paper studies the real-time implementation of distributed controllers on networked cyber-physical systems. We build on the strengths of event- and self-triggered control to synthesize a unified approach, termed team-triggered, where…
We are concerned with a distributed approach to solve multi-cluster games arising in multi-agent systems. In such games, agents are separated into distinct clusters. The agents belonging to the same cluster cooperate with each other to…
This paper considers an internal model based distributed control approach to the cooperative output regulation problem of heterogeneous linear time-invariant multiagent systems over fixed directed communication graph topologies. First, a…
This paper proposes networked dynamics to solve resource allocation problems over time-varying multi-agent networks. The state of each agent represents the amount of used resources (or produced utilities) while the total amount of resources…
In this paper, we consider multiple channels and wireless nodes with multiple transceivers. Each node assigns one transmitter at each available channel. For each assigned transmitter the node decides the power level and data rate of…
The design of distributed autonomous systems often omits consideration of the underlying network dynamics. Recent works in multi-agent systems and swarm robotics alike have highlighted the impact that the interactions between agents have on…
In distributed predictive control structures, communication among agents is required to achieve a consensus and approach an optimal global behavior. Such negotiation mechanisms are sensitive to attacks on these exchanges. This paper…
