Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Distributed algorithm, Multi-channel system, Plug-and-play @article{nokey, We propose a distributed control, in which many identical control agents are deployed for controlling a linear time-invariant plant that has multiple input-output channels. Each control agent can join or leave the control loop during the operation of stabilization without particular initialization over the whole networked agents. Once new control agents join the loop, they self-organize their control dynamics, which does not interfere the control by other active agents, which is achieved by local communication with the neighboring agents. The key idea enabling these features is the use of Bass' algorithm, which allows the distributed computation of stabilizing gains by solving a Lyapunov equation in a distributed manner. |

Jeong Mo Seong / Jeong Woo Kim / Seungjoon Lee / Hyungbo Shim Distributed Dynamic Quantile Solver With Plug-and-Play Operation Journal Article In: IEEE Access, vol. 9, pp. 165517-165525, 2021, ISSN: 2169-3536. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Blended Dynamics Approach, Distributed algorithm, Multi-agent system @article{nokey, In this paper, we propose a continuous-time distributed algorithm for the dynamic quantile problem. The problem is to find the quantile of time-varying signals in a network of agents, each of which having the signal of its own. For example, this problem includes finding the median, maximum, or the second largest value of the signals. The proposed algorithm guarantees convergence from arbitrary initial conditions and does not use the decaying gains. Hence our algorithm is suitable for plug-and-play operation, where agents may freely join or leave the network during the operation. An application to a simplified electricity market problem is presented to show the effectiveness of the design. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Distributed algorithm, Heterogeneous multi-agents, Multi-agent system @inbook{LeeShim20c, A group behavior of a heterogeneous multi-agent system is studied which obeys an “average of individual vector fields” under strong couplings among the agents. Under stability of the averaged dynamics (not asking stability of individual agents), the behavior of heterogeneous multi-agent system can be estimated by the solution to the averaged dynamics. A following idea is to “design” individual agent’s dynamics such that the averaged dynamics performs the desired task. A few applications are discussed including estimation of the number of agents in a network, distributed least-squares or median solver, distributed optimization, distributed state estimation, and robust synchronization of coupled oscillators. Since stability of the averaged dynamics makes the initial conditions forgotten as time goes on, these algorithms are initialization-free and suitable for plug-and-play operation. At last, nonlinear couplings are also considered, which potentially asserts that enforced synchronization gives rise to an emergent behavior of a heterogeneous multi-agent system. |

Miao Guo / Bayu Jayawardhana / Jin Gyu Lee / Hyungbo Shim Simultaneous distributed localization, mapping and formation control of mobile robots based on local relative measurements Journal Article In: IFAC-PapersOnLine, vol. 53, iss. 2, pp. 9614-9620, 2020, ISSN: 2405-8963. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Distributed algorithm, Formation control, Multi-agent systems @article{nokey, This paper investigates the problem of localizing a team of robots in an indoor environment while simultaneously keeping a robust formation and performing group motion. A distributed observer is proposed to estimate the positions of mobile robots as well as the landmarks under a common global frame. Every robot uses its available local relative measurements, as well as the estimated relative measurements to its neighbors in order to keep a robust formation. Simultaneously, each robot estimates the positions of all the landmarks based on the available on-board relative measurements but also based on the estimated positions from its neighbors. We provide the L2-stability analysis of the closed-loop system where the group is also allowed to maneuver in the unknown environment. Simulation results are also given to show the efficacy of the method. |
