This paper presents a hierarchical architecture for the coordination and control of autonomous agents performing intelligent team operations. Each team consisting of multiple aerial and ground vehicles, uses a coordinated strategy through communication via a wireless network. As an exemplary case study, a pursuit-evasion scenario is developed. This paper also introduces the experimental setup for aerial and ground-based autonomous agents. The proposed scheme is currently under development for near future ...
This volume contains the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control, HSCC'98, organized April 13-15, 1998, at the University of California, Berkeley. The focus of the workshop is on mathematical methods for the rigorous and systematic design and analysis of hybrid systems. A hybrid system consists of digital devices that interact with analog environments. Driven by rapid advances in digital ...
The dynamics of a large class of non-linear systems are described implicitly, i.e., as a combination of algebraic and differential equations. These dynamics admit of jump behavior. We extend the deterministic theory to a stochastic theory since: (1) the deterministic theory is restrictive; (2) the macroscopic deterministic description of dynamics frequently arises from an aggregation of microscopically fluctuating dynamics; and (3) to robustify the deterministic one in the limit that ...
