Distributed optimization-based coordination and estimation for multi-agent systems
Tamas Keviczky, Delft University of Technology
Abstract:
Optimization techniques have played a fundamental role in designing control systems for the most part of the past half century. This dependence is ever more obvious in today's wide-spread use of online optimization-based control methods (e.g., receding horizon control, moving horizon estimation). These methods are becoming increasingly applicable to processes with fast dynamics as well. In this talk, various recent approaches to using distributed optimization techniques for the coordination of multi-agent systems will be discussed along with open issues for future research.
