NSF CAREER: Distributed control of dynamic systems using a wireless communcation medium: two new paradigms

This NSF CAREER award introduces two new paradigms. The first paradigm, denoted as networked preview control, specifies a framework consisting of a wireless network of spatially-distributed sensors and one controller. Given a disturbance field, networked preview control aims at using the remote sensors to provide the controller with disturbance preview information. The second paradigm concerns the design of cooperative control strategies for a mix of mobile and static agents, with the objective of attaining pre-specified communication objectives.

Distributed control of dynamic systems using a wireless communcation medium: two new paradigms is a five-year, $412K grant.
