The ongoing revolution of Internet of Things (IoT), together with the growing diffusion of
robots in many activities of every day life, makes IoT-aided robotics applications a tangible …

Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

Technological advances in ad hoc networking and the availability of low-cost reliable
computing, data storage, and sensing devices have made scenarios possible where the …

This review article describes the design of static controllers that achieve an optimal tradeoff
between closed-loop performance and controller structure. Our methodology consists of two …

We review a general class of models for self-organized dynamics based on alignment. The
dynamics of such systems is governed solely by interactions among individuals or “agents,” …

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a
distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of …

Gossip algorithms are attractive for in-network processing in sensor networks because they
do not require any specialized routing, there is no bottleneck or single point of failure, and …

This paper investigates the joint effect of agent dynamic, network topology and
communication data rate on consensusability of linear discrete-time multi-agent systems …

We propose a new distributed algorithm based on alternating direction method of multipliers
(ADMM) to minimize sum of locally known convex functions using communication over a …

We consider distributed consensus and vehicular formation control problems. Specifically
we address the question of whether local feedback is sufficient to maintain coherence in …
