Distributed Control of Robotic Networks A Mathematical Approach to Motion Coordination Algorithms

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of tools for understanding coordination algorithms, determining their correctness, and assessing their complexity; and it a...
