Spatially-distributed coverage optimization and control with limited-range interactions

Jorge Cortés, Sonia Martínez, Francesco Bullo (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper presents coordination algorithms for groups of mobile agents performing deployment and coverage tasks. As an important modeling constraint, we assume that each mobile agent has a limited sensing or communication radius.
Based on the geometry of Voronoi partitions and proximity graphs, we analyze a class of aggregate objective functions and propose coverage algorithms in continuous and discrete time.
These algorithms have convergence guarantees and are spatially distributed with...

Special issue on decentralized control of large scale complex systems

Lubomír Bakule (2009)

Kybernetika

This special issue provides information on current and future research directions in the emerging field of Decentralized Control of Large Scale Complex Systems. There is generally adopted view that a dynamic system is large scale complex whenever it is necessary to partition its analysis or synthesis problem to manageable subproblems. Its fundamental characteristics in modeling and control are high dimensionality, uncertainty, information structure constraints, and delays. Theory of large scale...

Special motions of robot-manipulators

Adolf Karger (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

There exist many examples of closed kinematical chains which have a freedom of motion, but there are very few systematical results in this direction. This paper is devoted to the systematical treatment of 4-parametric closed kinematical chains and we show that the so called Bennet’s mechanism is essentially the only 4-parametric closed kinematical chain which has the freedom of motion. According to [3] this question is connected with the problem of existence of asymptotic geodesic lines on robot-manipulators...
