Distributed Consensus in Multi-vehicle Cooperative Control: Theory and Applications (Ren, W. and Beard, R.W.; 2008) [Book Shelf]

The book is a research monograph that incorporates the authors´ main work in multivehicle cooperative control using distributed consensus algorithms. The book involves both theoretical analysis and engineering applications in distributed coordination of multiple ground robots, spacecraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The book gives a systematic analysis of distributed consensus problems of multivehicle cooperative control and summarizes the main recent work of the authors. It is well written, and all of the main theoretical results are given together with rigorous mathematical proofs. This book can be a very useful reference for Ph.D. students and researchers in automatic control.
