Human Interfaces for Cooperative Control of Multiple Vehicle Systems
… arrival, and loose sequential arrival. Coordination variables and functions are the strategy by which both temporal and spatial information is used to achieve cooperative timing at a minimum cost. Specifically, coordination variables and functions are used to plan trajectories for a team …

Cooperative Control of Miniature Air Vehicles
… over a known target location. The ideas of coordination functions and coordination variables have been employed to achieve coordination. Experimental results verify the feasibility of real time coperative control for a team of MAVs. Initial cooperative timing tests revealed the need for more …

Cooperative autonomous systems: Motion planning and coordinated tracking control for multi-vehicle missions
… to satisfy the temporal constraints and achieve coordination. The coordination problem is formulated as a consensus problem, with the objective of regulating a suitably defined set of coordination variables to zero. Conditions are derived under which the consensus algorithm proposed solves the …

Mathematical modelling of gas flow networks in pellet induratlon systems
… connected components) and nodes. At the top or coordination level the flow and pressure distributions satisfying the Kirchhoff's laws are evaluated for the connected graph. At the lower or component level the exact mathematical models of components ale computed, in order of their occurrence in …

Decentralized Control of Multiple UAVs for Perimeter and Target Surveillance
… members. By identifying and sharing the critical coordination information and by exploiting the known communication topology, only a small communication range is required for accurate performance. Convergence of the algorithm to the optimal configuration is proven to occur in finite-time. …
