Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems: Synthesis of Consensus Algorithms [Paperback]

Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems develops a framework for modeling and control of a network of multi-agent unmanned systems in a cooperative manner and with consideration of non-ideal and practical considerations. The main focus of this book is the development of synthesis-based algorithms rather than on conventional analysis-based approaches to the team cooperation, specifically the team consensus problems. The authors provide a set of modified design-based consensus algorithms whose optimality is verified through introduction of performance indices.

Introduction.- Background.- SemiDecentralized Optimal Consensus Strategies.- Non-Ideal Considerations for Semi-Decentralized Optimal Team Cooperation.- Linear Matrix Inequalities in the Team Cooperation Problem.- Conclusions and Future Work.- Appendix A: Proofs. ?

From the book reviews:

The book is structured in six chapters, a rich list of references, an index terms, a list of explanations of the figures which are included. & The book is targeted for researchers, scientists and graduate-level university students who are interested in becoming familiar with design of consensus-seeking algorithms in the general area of networked dynamical systems.
