N.E. Leonard – U. Pisa – April 2007 Slide 2 Outline 1.Introduction to cooperative control and mobile sensor networks 2.Cooperative control, part I Virtual bodies and artificial potentials (VBAP) Virtual tensegrity structures Coordination of mechanical system networks Curvature control and level set tracking 3.Application to mobile sensor networks, part I Adaptive gradient climbing; curve tracking; contour plots; adaptation of sampling resolution 4.Cooperative control, part II Coupled oscillator dynamics and collective motion Consensus dynamics and collective motion with limited communication. Extensions and new directions: multi-scale, resonant patterns, oscillatory speeds. 5.Application to mobile sensor networks, part II Coverage and adaptive sampling 6.Implementation of glider coordinated control system. 7.Connections to collective motion of animal groups (time permitting)
