Complexity, Robustness, and Network Thermodynamics in Large-Scale and Multiagent Systems: A Hybrid Control Approach

Abstract

Controls research under this program concentrated on the development of a network thermodynamic stabilization framework for hybrid control design of large-scale and multiagent aerospace systems. In particular, we concentrate on hybrid control, hierarchical control, impulsive dynamical systems, nonnegative dynamical systems, compartmental systems, large-scale systems, nonlinear switching control, cooperative control, and adaptive control. Application areas include large flexible interconnected space structures, spacecraft stabilization, cooperative control of unmanned air vehicles, network systems, swarms of air and space vehicle formations, and pharmacological systems.
