Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP150103745

Funded Activity Summary

Topological Analysis and Control Design for Heterogeneous Multi-agent Systems. A multi-agent system refers to a cooperative group of autonomous agents for achieving certain collective behaviour such as flight formation and micro-robot synchronisation. The project aims to: study network topologies in biological systems and understand their applicability to the control of man-made multi-agent systems; and, develop a new theoretical framework and design methodology for control of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. The expected outcomes include: understanding and application of biologically inspired network topologies for multi-agent systems; new control design methodology for heterogeneous multi-agent systems; and, new applications of multi-agent control in collective robotics and smart electricity grid.
