This paper considers the distributed sampled-data control problem of a group of mobile robots connected via distance-induced proximity networks. A dwell time is assumed in order to avoid chattering in the neighbor relations that may be caused by abrupt changes of positions when updating information from neighbors. Distributed sampled-data control laws are designed based on nearest neighbour rules, which in conjunction with continuous-time dynamics results in hybrid closed-loop systems. For uniformly and independently initial states, a sufficient condition is provided to guarantee synchronization for the system without leaders. In order to steer all robots to move with the desired orientation and speed, we then introduce a number of leaders into the system, and quantitatively establish the proportion of leaders needed to track either constant or time-varying signals. All these conditions depend only on the neighborhood radius, the maximum initial moving speed and the dwell time, without assuming a prior properties of the neighbor graphs as are used in most of the existing literature.

This paper identifies a property of delay-robustness in distributed supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DES) with communication delays. In previous work a distributed supervisory control problem has been investigated on the assumption that
inter-agent communications take place with negligible delay. From an applications viewpoint it is desirable to relax this constraint and identify communicating distributed controllers which are delay-robust, namely logically equivalent to their delay-free counterparts. For this we introduce inter-agent channels modeled as 2-state automata, compute the overall system behavior, and present an effective computational test for delay-robustness. From the test it typically results that the given delay-free distributed control is delay-robust with respect to certain communicated events, but not for all, thus distinguishing events which are not delay-critical from those that are. The approach is illustrated by a workcell model with three communicating agents.
Distributed algorithms for both discrete-time and continuous-time linearly solvable optimal control (LSOC) problems of networked multi-agent systems (MASs) are investigated in this paper. A distributed framework is proposed to partition the optimal c
ontrol problem of a networked MAS into several local optimal control problems in factorial subsystems, such that each (central) agent behaves optimally to minimize the joint cost function of a subsystem that comprises a central agent and its neighboring agents, and the local control actions (policies) only rely on the knowledge of local observations. Under this framework, we not only preserve the correlations between neighboring agents, but moderate the communication and computational complexities by decentralizing the sampling and computational processes over the network. For discrete-time systems modeled by Markov decision processes, the joint Bellman equation of each subsystem is transformed into a system of linear equations and solved using parallel programming. For continuous-time systems modeled by It^o diffusion processes, the joint optimality equation of each subsystem is converted into a linear partial differential equation, whose solution is approximated by a path integral formulation and a sample-efficient relative entropy policy search algorithm, respectively. The learned control policies are generalized to solve the unlearned tasks by resorting to the compositionality principle, and illustrative examples of cooperative UAV teams are provided to verify the effectiveness and advantages of these algorithms.
This paper presents a novel control protocol for robust distance-based formation control with prescribed performance in which agents are subjected to unknown external disturbances. Connectivity maintenance and collision avoidance among neighboring ag
ents are also handled by the appropriate design of certain performance bounds that constrain the inter-agent distance errors. As an extension to the proposed scheme, distance-based formation centroid maneuvering is also studied for disturbance-free agents, in which the formation centroid tracks a desired time-varying velocity. The proposed control laws are decentralized, in the sense that each agent employs local relative information regarding its neighbors to calculate its control signal. Therefore, the control scheme is implementable on the agents local coordinate frames. Using rigid graph theory, input-to-state stability, and Lyapunov based analysis, the results are established for minimally and infinitesimally rigid formations in 2-D or 3-D space. Furthermore, it is argued that the proposed approach increases formation robustness against shape distortions and can prevent formation convergence to incorrect shapes, which is likely to happen in conventional distance-based formation control methods. Finally, extensive simulation studies clarify and verify the proposed approach.
In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally coordinating the response of a group of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution systems by solving the so-called optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The OPF problem is concerned with deter
mining an optimal operating point, at which some cost function, e.g., generation cost or power losses, is minimized, and operational constraints are satisfied. To solve the OPF problem, we propose distributed algorithms that are able to operate over time-varying communication networks and have geometric convergence rate. We solve the second-order cone program (SOCP) relaxation of the OPF problem for radial distribution systems, which is formulated using the so-called DistFlow model. Theoretical results are further supported by the numerical simulations.
In this work, a dynamic system is controlled by multiple sensor-actuator agents, each of them commanding and observing parts of the systems input and output. The different agents sporadically exchange data with each other via a common bus network acc
ording to local event-triggering protocols. From these data, each agent estimates the complete dynamic state of the system and uses its estimate for feedback control. We propose a synthesis procedure for designing the agents state estimators and the event triggering thresholds. The resulting distributed and event-based control system is guaranteed to be stable and to satisfy a predefined estimation performance criterion. The approach is applied to the control of a vehicle platoon, where the methods trade-off between performance and communication, and the scalability in the number of agents is demonstrated.
