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 …

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

We study the average consensus problem of multi-agent systems for general network
topologies with unidirectional information flow. We propose two linear distributed algorithms …

We consider consensus seeking of networked agents on directed graphs where each agent
has only noisy measurements of its neighbors' states. Stochastic approximation type …

Average consensus consists in the problem of determining the average of some quantities
by means of a distributed algorithm. It is a simple instance of problems arising when …

We consider a multi-component system in which each component (node) can send/receive
information to/from sets of neighboring nodes via communication links (edges) that form a …

Recent advances in wired and wireless technology lead to the emergence of large-scale
networks such as Internet, wireless mobile ad-hoc networks, swarm robotics, smart-grid, and …

Characterizing convergence speed is one of the most important research challenges in the
design of distributed consensus algorithms for networked multi-agent systems. In this paper …

Rapid developments in digital system and networking technologies have led to the
emergence of complex systems that are de facto managed and controlled over cyber …

We consider the ergodicity and consensus problem for a discrete-time linear dynamic model
driven by random stochastic matrices, which is equivalent to studying these concepts for the …
