This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

Collective control of a multiagent system is concerned with designing strategies for a group
of autonomous agents operating in a networked environment. The aim is to achieve a global …

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

Distributed controller design is generally a challenging task, especially for multi-agent
systems with complex dynamics, due to the interconnected effect of the agent dynamics, the …

In this chapter we present a state space interpretation of the small gain and passivity
approach of the previous chapter. Moreover, we will come to some kind of synthesis …

In this paper, we consider the global consensus problem for discrete-time multi-agent
systems with input saturation constraints under fixed undirected topologies. We first give …

Recent years have witnessed a trend to use networked multiple autonomous agents to
accomplish complex tasks arising from space-based applications, smart grids, and machine …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

A multi-agent system consisting of N agents is considered. The problem of steering each
agent from its initial position to a desired goal while avoiding collisions with obstacles and …

In this paper we consider the output synchronization problem for heterogeneous networks of
linear agents. The network's communication infrastructure provides each agent with a linear …
