On collective motion in sensor networks: sample problems and distributed algorithms

Anurag Ganguli, Sara Susca, Sonia Martínez, Francesco Bullo, Jorge Cortés

Abstract: Adopting a tutorial approach, this paper surveys some control and systems theory problems that have recently gained interest in the context of multi-vehicle and sensor networks. By means of illustrative examples, we discuss some challenges in modeling of robotic networks, motion coordination algorithms, sensing and estimation tasks, and complexity of distributed algorithms.
