Distributed Cooperative Control: Emerging Applications
ISBN: 978-1-119-21609-4
March 2017
240 pages
Examines new cooperative control methodologies tailored to real-world applications in various domains such as in communication systems, physics systems, and multirobotic systems
The book presents applications of distributed cooperative control in engineering and physics systems to address emerging needs for high efficiency distributed control systems. After introducing backgrounds and reviewing fundamental distributed consensus algorithms, the book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses networked communication systems, including the distributed consensus for quantized communication, cooperative spectrum sensing, and distributed radio environment mapping for cognitive radio networks. Part II presents cooperative control of multirobotic systems and discusses the source-seeking and plume-tracking problems by distributed cooperating robots. Part III addresses the cooperative control of multiagent physics systems, examining friction control of coupled nanoparticles and synchronization of coupled laser arrays.
Distributed Cooperative Control: Emerging Applications is written for control engineers, robotic researchers, graduate students, and other professionals who are interested in dynamic systems and controls.
