Abstract:

This project developed protocols for the coordination of autonomous nodes such as UAVs, ROVs, and other robotic platforms operating in fault-prone environments characterized by noisy and time-varying communication, message losses, and persistent and unpredictable node failures. For problems of formation control, leader-following, cooperative estimation and learning, resource allocation, and others tasks fitting within a separable optimization framework, control strategies were developed with fast and reliable performance, even in simulated networks of thousands of nodes.
