Abstract: Abstract. This article considers the problem of the safe operation of multiple agents with different capabilities and access authorities to effectively and safely accomplish a complex mission. This problem is decomposed ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new framework for evolution of multiagent systems (MAS) based on principles of continuum mechanics is developed. Agents are treated as mass particles of a continuum whose evolution (both translation and ...

Abstract: Developed in this paper is the notion that the collective behavior of swarms can be achieved without explicit peertopeer communication among agents. It is based on a recently proposed continuum framework for studying swarms ...

Abstract: In this paper, we give an upper bound for the communication delay in a multiagent system (MAS) that evolves under a recently developed continuum paradigm for formation control. The MAS is treated as particles of a continuum ...

Abstract: A leader follower model has recently been proposed for homogeneous deformation of a multi-agent system (MAS) in ℝn. Researchers have shown how a desired homogeneous transformation can be designed by choosing proper ...
