Information consensus in multivehicle cooperative control
TL;DR: Theoretical results regarding consensus-seeking under both time invariant and dynamically changing communication topologies are summarized in this paper, where several specific applications of consensus algorithms to multivehicle coordination are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributed multi‐vehicle coordinated control via local information exchange
Wei Ren,Ella M. Atkins +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces second-order consensus protocols that take into account motions of the information states and their derivatives, extending first-order protocols from the literature and derives necessary and sufficient conditions under which consensus can be reached in the context of unidirectional information exchange topologies.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A survey of consensus problems in multi-agent coordination
TL;DR: A survey of consensus problems in multi-agent cooperative control with the goal of promoting research in this area is provided in this paper, where theoretical results regarding consensus seeking under both time-invariant and dynamically changing information exchange topologies are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
QoS negotiation in real-time systems and its application to automated flight control
TL;DR: Experimental results indicate that QoS negotiation, while maintaining real-time guarantees, enables graceful QoS degradation under conditions in which traditional schedulability analysis and admission control schemes fail.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Second-order Consensus Protocols in Multiple Vehicle Systems with Local Interactions
Wei Ren,Ella M. Atkins +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed coordination scheme with local interactions is studied for multiple vehicle systems, and a second-order consensus protocol is introduced to achieve altitude alignment among a team of micro air vehicles as an illustrative example.
