In this paper, we examine the influence of communication latency on performance of networked control systems. Even though distributed control architectures offer advantages in terms of communication, maintenance costs, and scalability, it…
Natural, social, and artificial multi-agent systems usually operate in dynamic environments, where the ability to respond to changing circumstances is a crucial feature. An effective collective response requires suitable information…
The distributed coordination problem of multi-agent systems is addressed in this paper under the assumption of intermittent communication between agents in the presence of time-varying communication delays. Specifically, we consider the…
Coordinating multiple autonomous agents to reach a target region while avoiding collisions and maintaining communication connectivity is a core problem in multi-agent systems. In practice, agents have a limited communication range. Thus,…
In control system networks, reconfiguration of the controller when agents are leaving or joining the network is still an open challenge, in particular when operation constraints that depend on each agent's behavior must be met. Drawing our…
Communication topology is a crucial part of a distributed control implementation for cyber-physical systems, yet is typically treated as a constraint within control design problems rather than a design variable. We propose a data-driven…
Distributed optimization finds applications in large-scale machine learning, data processing and classification over multi-agent networks. In real-world scenarios, the communication network of agents may encounter latency that may affect…
In this paper, for any homogeneous system of agents with linear continuous time dynamics, we formulate an optimal control problem. In this problem a convex cost functional of the control signals of the agents shall be minimized, while the…
We consider the optimal control design problem for discrete-time LTI systems with state feedback, when the actuation signal is subject to unmeasurable switching propagation delays, due to e.g. the routing in a multi-hop communication…
In this paper, we study the distributed control of networked cyber-physical systems when a much more energy-efficient distributed communication management strategy is proposed to solve the well-studied consensus problem. In contrast to the…
Many important complex networks, including critical infrastructure and emerging industrial automation systems, are becoming increasingly intricate webs of interacting feedback control loops. A fundamental concern is to quantify the control…
In many multi-agent systems, communication is limited by bandwidth, latency, and energy constraints. Designing controllers that achieve coordination and safety with minimal communication is critical for scalable and reliable deployment.…
Composite systems are large complex systems con- sisting of interconnected agents (subsystems). Agents in a com- posite system interact with each other towards performing an in- tended goal. Controllability is essential to achieve desired…
This paper develops a novel approach to the consensus problem of multi-agent systems by minimizing a weighted state error with neighbor agents via linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control theory. Existing consensus control algorithms only…
In this paper, the formation control of multi-agent systems in random switching communication topology is studied, and the problem of excessive bandwidth and low control efficiency among multi-agents is solved. For nonlinear multi-agent…
We study an optimal control problem aimed at achieving a desired tradeoff between the network coherence and communication requirements in the distributed controller. Our objective is to add a certain number of edges to an undirected…
In this paper we study the controllability of networked systems with static network topologies using tools from algebraic graph theory. Each agent in the network acts in a decentralized fashion by updating its state in accordance with a…
This paper introduces a model of self-organization between communication and topology in social networks, with a feedback between different communication habits and the topology. To study this feedback, we let agents communicate to build a…
This paper addresses finite-time horizon optimal control of single-loop networked control systems with stochastically modeled communication channel and disturbances. To cope with the uncertainties, an optimization-based control scheme is…
In this article, we consider a cooperative control problem involving a heterogeneous network of dynamically decoupled continuous-time linear plants. The (output-feedback) controllers for each plant may communicate with each other according…
