EECI09: Cooperative control
| Prev: Distributed control | Course home | Next: Distributed estimation |
In this lecture we present a survey of recent research in cooperative control of multivehicle systems, using a common mathematical framework to allow different methods to be described in a unified way. The survey has three primary parts: an overview of current applications of cooperative control, a summary of some of the key technical approaches that have been explored, and a description of some possible future directions for research. Specific technical areas that are discussed include distributed receding horizon control, cooperative tasking and spatiotemporal planning.
