Distributed Coordination Theory for Robot Teams

develops control algorithms to coordinate the motion of autonomous teams of robots in order to achieve some desired collective goal. It provides novel solutions to foundational coordination problems, including distributed algorithms to make quadrotor helicopters rendezvous and to make ground vehicles move in formation along circles or straight lines. The majority of the algorithms presented in this book can be implemented using on-board cameras. This book will provide practitioners, researchers and students in the field of control and robotics new insights in distributed multi-agent systems.
