A Contact Force Control System Distributed over Heterogeneous Networks

Network design for distributed consensus estimation over heterogeneous sensor networks

This paper considers distributed estimation over heterogeneous sensor networks. We propose a distributed estimation strategy based on PageRank algorithm, where the link weight depends on the edge estimation covariances. We prove that the proposed estimator obtains better estimates than one typical estimator under identical initial conditions. Motivated by the advantage of the sensors with high ...

Performance Evaluation of Distributed Computing over Heterogeneous Networks

RWAPI is a low-level communication interface designed for clusters of PCs. It has been developed to provide performance to higher applications on a wide variety of architectures. We implemented RWAPI on top of the modular software architecture called GRWA. RWAPI supports Ethernet, InfiniBand and Myrinet network interconnects. This paper introduces RWAPI and the design of its network component o...

Adaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...

A Simple Distributed Method for Control over Wireless Networks

We present a distributed scheme used for control over wireless networks. In our previous work, we introduced the concept of a Wireless Control Network (WCN), where the network itself, with no centralized node, acts as the controller. In this work, we show how the WCN can be modified to include observer style updates which substantially improves robustness of the closed-loop system to link failu...
