Multiagent control with local references

A major motivation for using multiagent systems is their ability to accomplish complex tasks through the compounded efforts of simple, resource-limited robots. As a result, motion coordination policies capable of operating under resource limitations (e.g., agents not having access to global coordinate systems, to global information, or to communications) are key to enable tasks such as tracking of an evolving phenomenon or cooperative monitoring of an environment.

The videos below illustrate research works in which we have targeted these issues.
