The use of aerial swarms to solve real-world problems has been increasing steadily,
accompanied by falling prices and improving performance of communication, sensing, and …

Real-world networks often consist of millions of heterogenous elements that interact at
multiple timescales and length scales. The fields of statistical physics and control theory both …

An up-to-date survey of the theory of port-Hamiltonian systems is given, emphasizing novel
developments and relationships with other formalisms. Port-Hamiltonian systems theory …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating
subject of multidisciplinary research. This survey reviews the vast literature on the theory …

Event-driven strategies for multi-agent systems are motivated by the future use of embedded
microprocessors with limited resources that will gather information and actuate the individual …

Different from traditional centralized control, one major challenge of distributed consensus
tracking control lies in the constraint that the desired reference trajectory is only accessible …

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 …

“I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.”—
Woody Allen The emergence of (relatively) cheap sensing and actuation nodes, capable of …

Multi-agent systems have numerous civilian, homeland security, and military applications;
however, for all these applications, communication bandwidth, sensing range, power …

In this paper, we investigate the output consensus problem of tracking a desired trajectory
for a class of systems consisting of multiple nonlinear subsystems with intrinsic mismatched …
