COOPERATIVE CONTROL OF MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

A comprehensive review of the state of the art in the control of multi-agent systems theory and applications The superiority of multi-agent systems over single agents for the control of unmanned air, water, and ground vehicles has been demonstrated in a wide range of application areas. Their large-scale spatial distribution, robustness, high scalability, and low cost enable multi-agent systems to achieve tasks that could not successfully be performed by even the most sophisticated single-agent systems. Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems: Theory and Applications provides a wide-ranging review of the latest developments in the cooperative control of multi-agent systems theory and applications. The applications described are mainly in the areas of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
