Summary: |
Control for coordination of distributed systems is motivated by the case studies of control for underwater vehicles, for aerial vehicles, for a road control and communication network, for automated guided vehicles, and for complex machines.
The research thrust is in control design and control synthesis. In particular, in control synthesis of a global coordinator of a distributed system, in communication for control, in informatics for control, and in tools for control design. Control design for the case studies based on the research thrust will form the main effort of the project and will be disseminated to the user partners.
The aim of the project is to design and to evaluate controllers for the five case studies and to formulate control theory for the coordination of distributed systems. |
