Title: Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems
Description: <p><i>Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems</i> develops a framework for modeling and control of a network of multi-agent unmanned systems in a cooperative manner and with consideration of non-ideal and practical considerations. The main focus of this book is the development of “synthesis-based” algorithms rather than on conventional “analysis-based” approaches to the team cooperation, specifically the team consensus problems. The authors provide a set of modified “design-based” consensus algorithms whose optimality is verified through introduction of performance indices. </p><p>This book also: </p><p>Provides synthesis-based methodology for team cooperation </p><p>Introduces a consensus-protocol optimized performance index  </p><p><p>Offers comparisons for use of proper indices in measuring team performance </p><p>Analyzes and predicts  performance of  previously designed consensus algorithms </p><p>Analyses and predicts team behavior in the presence of non-ideal considerations such as actuator anomalies and faults as well as the evolutions in the structure of the information exchange</p><p><i>Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems </i>is an ideal book for researchers as well as graduate-level university students who desire to work in the area of networked unmanned systems.</p>
