Comparison of Centralized and Decentralized Approaches in Cooperative Coverage Problems with Energy-Constrained Agents
Xiangyu Meng, Xinmiao Sun, Christos G. Cassandras +1
A multi-agent coverage problem is considered with energy-constrained agents. The objective of this paper is to compare the coverage performance between centralized and decentralize…
A Submodularity-Based Approach for Multi-Agent Optimal Coverage Problems
Xinmiao Sun, Christos G. Cassandras, Xiangyu Meng
We consider the optimal coverage problem where a multi-agent network is deployed in an environment with obstacles to maximize a joint event detection probability. The objective fun…
Optimal Dynamic Formation Control of Multi-Agent Systems in Environments with Obstacles
Xinmiao Sun, Christos G. Cassandras
We address the optimal dynamic formation problem in mobile leader-follower networks where an optimal formation is generated to maximize a given objective function while continuousl…
Escaping Local Optima in a Class of Multi-Agent Distributed Optimization Problems: A Boosting Function Approach
Xinmiao Sun, Christos G. Cassandras, Kagan Gokbayrak
We address the problem of multiple local optima commonly arising in optimization problems for multi-agent systems, where objective functions are nonlinear and nonconvex. For the cl…
