The paper considers a distributed Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) design framework for a network of identical dynamically decoupled multi-agent systems. It is known that in this case a stabilizing distributed controller for the network can be obtained by solving a centralized LQR problem whose size depends on the maximum vertex degree of the graph. A systematic method is presented for computing the...
The paper presents a cooperative scheme for controlling arbitrary formations of low speed experimental UAVs based on a distributed LQR design methodology. Each UAV acts as an independent agent in the formation and its dynamics are described by a 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) nonlinear model. This is linearized for control design purposes around an operating point corresponding to straight flight conditions...
Aluminium coil production plants can be described as multi-stage processes which are often characterised by complexity and are expected to manipulate huge amount of data. Effective scheduling is a key issue for these processes since it can improve throughput rates and machine utilisation. This paper studies the production line of companies which produce high-quality rolled aluminium lithographic strips...
