Book Review: Distributed Consensus in Multi-Vehicle Cooperative Control –Theory and Application

Abstract

The book closely examines the problem of information consensus for cooperative control of multiple vehicle system. The objective of this book is to give summary about the work done by the author in cooperative control using distributed consensus algorithms. As claimed in the preface section, the book addresses the problem of information consensus, where a team of vehicles must communicate with each other to coordinate their tasks. The challenging nature of this subject is derived from limitations that occur in any known means of communication. Information flow and sharing problems also enrich the challenge.
