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 agent… (More)
A novel control strategy for multi-agent coordination with event-based broadcasting is presented. In particular, each agent decides itself when to transmit its current state to its neighbors and the… (More)
In this paper, event-triggered strategies for control of discrete-time systems are proposed and analyzed. Similarly to the continuous-time case, the plant is assumed input-to-state stable with… (More)
A navigation functions’ based methodology, established in our previous work for centralized multiple robot navigation, is extended to address the problem of decentralized navigation. In contrast to… (More)
This paper examines stability properties of distance-based formations. These are formations encoded by inter-agent relative distances. A negative gradient control law is proposed and is shown to be… (More)
The navigation function methodology, established in previous work for centralized multiple robot navigation, is extended for decentralized navigation with input constraints. In contrast to the… (More)
We propose a cooperative motion and task planning scheme for multi-agent systems where the agents have independently assigned local tasks, specified as linear temporal logic formulas. These tasks… (More)
An important class of multi-robot formations is specified by desired distances between adjacent robots. In previous work, we showed that distance-based formations can be globally stabilized by… (More)
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 agent… (More)
A distributed swarm aggregation algorithm is developed for a team of multiple kinematic agents. Specifically, each agent is assigned a control law, which is the sum of two elements: a repulsive… (More)
