Decentralized Estimation and Vision-based Guidance of Fast Autonomous Systems with Guaranteed Performance in Uncertain Environments

Abstract

We propose development of distributed estimation and control algorithms for design of reliable guidance, navigation and control systems for autonomous vehicles with the use of sensor networks that can enable more precise navigation laws, lower cost and increased reliability. The technical focus is the integration of estimation and control algorithms for multiple vehicles that would lead to guaranteed performance bounds in uncertain, and possibly occluded, environments in the presence of communication losses and network failures.
