Abstract:
Cooperative robotic networks present new challenges that lie
at the confluence of communication, computing, sensing, and control.
A lot is known about the individual components of these networked
systems, and yet novel theoretical developments are needed to
integrate these components into autonomous networks with predictable
behavior. The objective of this talk is to present recently developed
modeling, analysis, and design tools for motion coordination of
cooperative networks. In our exposition, we pay special attention to
the characterization of the correctness, performance, and cost of
coordination algorithms. We illustrate our technical approach in
disk-covering and sphere-packing deployment problems as well as in
aggregation and consensus scenarios.
