Cooperative Control of Networked Systems with Constraints ext led

This project aims to address a key challenge in deploying teams of robotic agents (networked systems). Control of the networked system is extremely difficult due to real world constraints imposed on each agent. This project will focus on motion constraints, equipment/capability constraints, and spatial constraints. In addition to theoretical advances, the wider scientific community will benefit directly, because the control algorithms developed are expected to allow straightforward deployment of said robotic teams. Applications include areas ranging from surveillance, drone formations and rescue control in risky environments, with Australian Defence being among the early users and later civilian applications become more commonly seen.
