Surveillance of a Faster Fixed-Course Target
Isaac E. Weintraub, Alexander Von Moll, Eloy Garcia +2
The maximum surveillance of a target which is holding course is considered, wherein an observer vehicle aims to maximize the time that a faster target remains within a fixed-range…
Optimal Strategies for the Game of Protecting a Plane in 3-D
Eloy Garcia, Isaac Weintraub, David W. Casbeer +1
A conflict between rational and autonomous agents is considered. The paper addresses a differential game of protecting a target in the 3-D space. This problem highlights the strong…
Competitive Perimeter Defense of Conical Environments
Shivam Bajaj, Eric Torng, Shaunak D. Bopardikar +4
We consider a perimeter defense problem in a planar conical environment in which a single vehicle, having a finite capture radius, aims to defend a concentric perimeter from mobile…
Cooperative Evasion by Translating Targets with Variable Speeds
Shivam Bajaj, Eloy Garcia, Shaunak D. Bopardikar
We consider a problem of cooperative evasion between a single pursuer and multiple evaders in which the evaders are constrained to move in the positive Y direction. The evaders are…
Efficient Communication Leader-Wingman Flight Formation Control
Eloy Garcia
This paper considers autonomous flight formation of fixed-wing air vehicles. Due to several issues such as limitations on communication bandwidth and low observability requirements…
A Differential Game Approach for Beyond Visual Range Tactics
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Dzung Tran +1
An operational relevant conflict between teams of autonomous vehicles in the Beyond Visual Range domain is addressed in this paper. Optimal strategies are designed in order for a t…
Model-Based Event-Triggered Control over Lossy Networks
Eloy Garcia, Panos J. Antsaklis
The event-triggered control problem over lossy communication networks is addressed in this paper. Although packet dropouts have been considered in the implementation of event-trigg…
The Barrier Surface in the Cooperative Football Differential Game
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Meir Pachter
This paper considers the blocking or football pursuit-evasion differential game. Two pursuers cooperate and try to capture the ball carrying evader as far as possible from the goal…
An Introduction to Pursuit-evasion Differential Games
Isaac E. Weintraub, Meir Pachter, Eloy Garcia
Pursuit and evasion conflicts represent challenging problems with important applications in aerospace and robotics. In pursuit-evasion problems, synthesis of intelligent actions mu…
The Complete Differential Game of Active Target Defense
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Meir Pachter
In the Target-Attacker-Defender (TAD) differential game, an Attacker missile strives to capture a Target aircraft. The Target tries to escape the Attacker and is aided by a Defende…
Multiple Pursuer Multiple Evader Differential Games
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Alexander Von Moll +1
In this paper an N-pursuer vs. M-evader team conflict is studied. The differential game of border defense is addressed and we focus on the game of degree in the region of the state…
Event-Triggered Communication and Control of Networked Systems for Multi-Agent Consensus
Cameron Nowzari, Eloy Garcia, Jorge Cortes
This article provides an introduction to event-triggered coordination for multi-agent average consensus. We provide a comprehensive account of the motivations behind the use of eve…
How to Obtain Desirable Transfer Functions in MIMO Systems Using 2-Degrees of Freedom Controllers Under Internal Stability
Panos J. Antsaklis, Eloy Garcia
This paper summarizes important results useful for controller design of multi-input multi-output systems. The main goal is to characterize the stabilizing controllers that provide…
Decentralized Event-Triggered Consensus over Unreliable Communication Networks
Eloy Garcia, Yongcan Cao, David W. Casbeer
This article studies distributed event-triggered consensus over unreliable communication channels. Communication is unreliable in the sense that the broadcast channel from one agen…
Shortest Paths of Bounded Curvature for the Dubins Interval Problem
Satyanarayana Manyam, Sivakumar Rathinam, David Casbeer +1
The Dubins interval problem aims to find the shortest path of bounded curvature between two targets such that the departure angle from the first target and the arrival angle at the…
Escape Regions of the Active Target Defense Differential Game
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Meir Pachter
The active target defense differential game is addressed in this paper. In this differential game an Attacker missile pursues a Target aircraft. The aircraft is however aided by a…
Periodic Event-Triggered Synchronization of Linear Multi-agent Systems with Communication Delays
Eloy Garcia, Yongcan Cao, David W. Casbeer
Multi-agent systems cooperation to achieve global goals is usually limited by sensing, actuation, and communication issues. At the local level, continuous measurement and actuation…
Decentralized Event-Triggered Consensus of Linear Multi-agent Systems under Directed Graphs
Eloy Garcia, Yongcan Cao, Xiaofeng Wang +1
An event-triggered control technique for consensus of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics is presented. This paper extends previous work to consider agents that are co…
Active Target Defense Differential Game with a Fast Defender
Eloy Garcia, David W. Casbeer, Meir Pachter
This paper addresses the active target defense differential game where an Attacker missile pursues a Target aircraft. A Defender missile is fired by the Target's wingman in order t…
Bridge Consensus: Ignoring Initial Inessentials
David W. Casbeer, Yongcan Cao, Eloy Garcia +1
In this paper, the problem of bridge consensus is presented and solved. Bridge consensus consists of a network of nodes, some of whom are participating and others are non-participa…
