We consider multi-agent systems with heterogeneous, nonlinear agents subject to individual constraints that want to achieve a periodic, dynamic cooperative control goal which can be characterised by a set and a suitable cost. We propose a…
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…

The fact that event-triggered control (ETC) often exhibits an improved performance-communication tradeoff over time-triggered control renders it especially useful for Networked Control Systems (NCSs). However, it has proven difficult to…

Event-triggered networked control of a linear dynamical system is investigated. Specifically, the dynamical system and the controller are assumed to be connected through a communication channel. State and control input information packets…
