In this paper, the communication effort required in a multi-agent system (MAS) is minimized via an explicit optimization formulation. The paper considers a MAS of single-integrator agents with bounded inputs and a time-invariant…
Synchronization in dynamical systems on directed weighted networks is often associated with stronger coupling and denser interactions. This paper shows that the opposite can also occur: weakening selected edges may increase the generalized…
We show that subsets of interacting oscillators may synchronize in different ways within a single network. This diversity of synchronization patterns is promoted by increasing the heterogeneous distribution of coupling weights and/or…
Multi-agent teaming achieves better performance when there is communication among participating agents allowing them to coordinate their actions for maximizing shared utility. However, when collaborating a team of agents with different…
Most distributed sensing methods assume that the expected value of sensed information is same for all agents ignoring differences in sensor capabilities due to, for example, environmental factors and sensors quality and condition. In this…
Cooperative perception has attracted wide attention given its capability to leverage shared information across connected automated vehicles (CAVs) and smart infrastructures to address sensing occlusion and range limitation issues. However,…
This work studies analysis and synthesis problems for diffusively coupled multi-agent systems. We focus on networks comprised of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems that posses a property we term maximal equilibrium-independent…
In this paper, we discuss distributed adaptive algorithms for synchronization of complex networks, consensus of multi-agents with or without pinning controller. The dynamics of individual node is governed by generalized QUAD condition. We…
This paper focuses on analyzing the finite-time convergence of a nonlinear consensus algorithm for multi-agent networks with unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics. Due to the existence of the unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics, the stability…
This paper introduces the notion of weak rigidity to characterize a framework by pairwise inner products of inter-agent displacements. Compared to distance-based rigidity, weak rigidity requires fewer constrained edges in the graph to…
This paper presents a robust distributed coordination protocol that achieves generation of collision-free trajectories for multiple unicycle agents in the presence of stochastic uncertainties. We build upon our earlier work on…
The stability analysis of synchronization patterns on generalized network structures is of immense importance nowadays. In this article, we scrutinize the stability of intralayer synchronous state in temporal multilayer hypernetworks, where…
Heterogeneous Multi-Embodied Agent Systems involve coordinating multiple embodied agents with diverse capabilities to accomplish tasks in dynamic environments. This process requires the collection, generation, and consumption of massive,…
In this paper, we study the robust consensus problem for a set of discrete-time linear agents to coordinate over an uncertain communication network, which is to achieve consensus against the transmission errors and noises resulted from the…
We study the problem of synchronizing a general complex network by means of an adaptive strategy in the case where the network topology is slowly time varying and every node receives at each time only one aggregate signal from the set of…
Recently, it has been demonstrated that many large complex networks display a scale-free feature, that is, their connectivity distributions have the power-law form. In this paper, we investigate the synchronization phenomena in a scale-free…
The structure of many real-world systems is best captured by networks consisting of several interaction layers. Understanding how a multi-layered structure of connections affects the synchronization properties of dynamical systems evolving…
Recently, we have proposed a framework for verification of agents' abilities in asynchronous multi-agent systems, together with an algorithm for automated reduction of models. The semantics was built on the modeling tradition of distributed…
The ability to achieve coordinated behavior -- engineered or emergent -- on networked systems has attracted widespread interest over several fields. This interest has led to remarkable advances in developing a theoretical understanding of…
The current paper addresses the distributed guaranteed-cost synchronization problems for general high-order linear multiagent networks. Existing works on the guaranteed-cost synchronization usually require all state information of…
