Cooperative Control Design

A Systematic, Passivity-Based Approach

  • Provides a unified passivity-based framework for multi-agent coordination problems, including formation control, attitude coordination, and synchronized path following
  • Discusses control algorithms that are modular, scalable and decentralized and can be easily tailored to different cooperative control problems
  • Covers complex and heterogeneous nonlinear agent dynamics,including Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Part of the book series: Communications and Control Engineering (CCE)

About this book

Cooperative Control Design: A Systematic, Passivity-Based Approach discusses multi-agent coordination problems, including formation control, attitude coordination, and synchronization. The goal of the book is to introduce passivity as a design tool for multi-agent systems, to provide exemplary work using this tool, and to illustrate its advantages in designing robust cooperative control algorithms. The discussion begins with an introduction to passivity and demonstrates how passivity can be used as a design tool for motion coordination. Followed by the case of adaptive redesigns for reference velocity recovery while describing a basic design, a modified design and the parameter convergence problem. Formation control is presented as it relates to relative distance control and relative position control. The coverage is concluded with a comprehensive discussion of agreement and the synchronization problem with an example using attitude coordination.
