Control of mixed-autonomy traffic where Human-driven Vehicles (HVs) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) coexist on the road has gained increasing attention over the recent decades. This paper addresses the boundary stabilization problem for mixed ...

With the massive popularization of distributed generators, optimal economic dispatch has been a key optimization problem to maintain stable and efficient work of the whole system. In this paper, a new smooth reconstruction penalty function with ...

This paper addresses distributed state estimation in a peer-to-peer heterogeneous sensor network characterized by varying qualities of local estimators. The proposed approach employs weighted Kullback–Leibler average of local posteriors, ...

This paper addresses a resilient bipartite output consensus issue for high-order heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) with Byzantine attacks. Output regulator equations as well observers are introduced for bipartite leader-following issue ...

This paper studies the density regulation problem for a large-scale robotic swarm with homogeneous agents. A novel robust model predictive mean-field control method is proposed to significantly improve the control performance and the algorithm ...

This paper studies the leader–follower circumnavigation problem of two non-holonomic robots using just an angular velocity adjustment. Specifically, two robots orbit around a stationary target along a circle trajectory with a pre-specified ...

This paper deals with the leader–follower consensus control for a homogeneous, discrete-time, multi-agent system (MAS) with agents having non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros. Linear time-invariant (LTI) or single-rate distributed output feedback ...

This paper proposes a robust formation control scheme for networked multi-tilt tricopter UAVs utilizing the Negative Imaginary (NI) and Positive Real (PR) theory. A Sliding Mode Control (SMC) scheme is designed for a multi-tilt tricopter to ...

This paper investigates the problem of resilient distributed state estimation for a linear system in multi-hop communication networks. First, we introduce a graph-theoretic property, called multiple-hop strong robustness, to formalize the notion ...

This paper investigates the robust global attitude stabilization problem for a rigid-body system using quaternion-based feedback. We propose a novel synergistic hybrid feedback with the following notable features: (1) It demonstrates central ...

In this paper, we investigate the consensus tracking control for a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with multiple unknown time-varying control directions and unknown direction actuator faults. Different from existing work, the ...

With the advent of integrated sensor technology (smart flow meters and pressure sensors), various new numerical algorithms for leak localization (a core element of water distribution system operation) have been developed. However, there is a lack ...

We study the problem of seeking the source of a scalar signal with a force- and torque-controlled unicycle. The vehicle does not have the capability to measure or track its position. The only information about the vehicle’s position relative to ...

This article studies a fundamental problem of security of cyber–physical systems (CPSs): that of detecting, almost surely, the presence of malicious components in the CPS. We assume that some of the actuators may be malicious while all sensors ...

Available methods for identification of stochastic dynamical systems from input–output data generally impose restricting structural assumptions on either the noise structure in the data-generating system or the possible state probability ...

In this paper, the coordination control problem of multi-agent systems (MASs) subjected to stealthy attacks and uncertainties is considered, where the uncertainties refer to unknown external disturbances and initial states. We consider a scenario ...

Distributed aggregative optimization is a recently emerged framework in which the agents of a network want to minimize the sum of local objective functions, each one depending on the agent decision variable (e.g., the local position of a team of ...

This brief addresses a collective evader-capturing problem for an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) fleet, where one evader vehicle tries to reach the escaping target before the capturing of multiple pursuer ASVs. Therein, the planned objective ...

This paper solves the problem of distributed adaptive event-triggered optimal control for six-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles under compound false data injection attacks and lumped disturbances by using the adaptive dynamic programming algorithm. ...

This paper studies a Coded Event-triggered Control (CEC) for a class of nonlinear systems under any initial condition. To reduce communication burden, the CEC is designed from the encoding–decoding viewpoint by which only m-length string is ...
