Distributed Cooperative Control and Communication for Multi-agent Systems (eBook)

This book investigates distributed cooperative control and communication of MASs including linear systems, nonlinear systems and multiple rigid body systems. The model-based and data-driven control method are employed to design the (optimal) cooperative control protocol.From this book, readers can learn about distributed cooperative control methods, data-driven control, finite-time stability analysis, cooperative attitude control of multiple rigid bodies.

Professor Dong Yue is the dean of Institute of Advanced Technology, College of Automation & College of Artificial Intelligence of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. In 2009, he was appointed a prestigious Chair by China's Ministry of Education, 'Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) Scholar Chair Professor' and was granted a Special Allowance from the State Council. He is the chief of Jiangsu Engineering Laboratory of Big Data Analysis and Control for Active Distribution Network. He is a World's Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson Reuters in 2018, and a Chinese Highly Cited Researcher by Elsevier in 2014-2017.

This book investigates distributed cooperative control and communication of MASs including linear systems, nonlinear systems and multiple rigid body systems. The model-based and data-driven control method are employed to design the (optimal) cooperative control protocol.The approaches of this book consist of model-based and data-driven control such as predictive control, event-triggered control, optimal control, adaptive dynamic programming, etc.From this book, readers can learn about distributed cooperative control methods, data-driven control, finite-time stability analysis, cooperative attitude control of multiple rigid bodies.   Some fundamental knowledge prepared to read this book is finite-time stability theory, event-triggered sampling mechanism, adaptive dynamic programming and optimal control.
