Competitive Advantages
- Distributed control of heterogeneous (in dynamics and dimension) linear time-invariant multiple systems with unknown external disturbances and unknown leader dynamics
- The proposed approach paves the way for distributed controlled design which is independent of the external disturbances and the leader dynamics
Summary
Our researchers have invented a novel control system that utilizes a distributed approach to allow a group of heterogenous dynamic systems (e.g., aerial and ground vehicle teams) working in coherence, which have non identical dynamics and dimension. The approach uses a fundamental converse theorem for linear time-invariant systems to link input-output stability and internal stability. Agent-wise local sufficient conditions are derived to solve the problem of distributed output regulation. The approach paves the way for distributed controller design which is independent of the leader dynamics. This system could be implemented in a multitude of complex control systems where distributed stability criterion is desired.
