Leader-Follower Density Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Interacting Followers: Feasibility and Convergence Analysis
Beniamino Di Lorenzo, Gian Carlo Maffettone, Mario di Bernardo
We address density control problems for large-scale multi-agent systems in leader-follower settings, where a group of controllable leaders must steer a population of followers towa…
Complex-Valued Kuramoto Networks: A Unified Control-Theoretic Framework
Lorenzo Giordano, Josep M. Olm, Mario di Bernardo
Synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators is classically studied via the Kuramoto model, whose intrinsic nonlinearity limits analytical tractability and complicates contro…
Multicellular Feedback Control Strategies in Synthetic Microbial Consortia: From Embedded to Distributed Control
Mario di Bernardo
Living organisms rely on endogenous feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis in the presence of uncertainty and environmental fluctuations. An emerging challenge at the interfac…
Robust Macroscopic Density Control of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems
Gian Carlo Maffettone, Davide Salzano, Mario di Bernardo
Modern applications, such as orchestrating the collective behavior of robotic swarms or traffic flows, require the coordination of large groups of agents evolving in unstructured e…
Decentralized Continuification Control of Multi-Agent Systems via Distributed Density Estimation
Beniamino Di Lorenzo, Gian Carlo Maffettone, Mario di Bernardo
This paper introduces a novel decentralized implementation of a continuification-based strategy to control the density of large-scale multi-agent systems on the unit circle. While…
A Continuification-Based Control Solution for Large-Scale Shepherding
Beniamino Di Lorenzo, Gian Carlo Maffettone, Mario di Bernardo
In this paper, we address the large-scale shepherding control problem using a continuification-based strategy. We consider a scenario in which a large group of follower agents (tar…
