A study in cooperative control: the Roboflag drill
نویسنده
چکیده
We take an optimization approach, inspired by [1], toward synthesizing control strategies for cooperative muti-agent systems. We successfully apply this approach to a subproblem derived from a new test-bed for studies in cooperative systems called the RoboFlag competition.

ThA 09 - 3 Observation of Guarded Command Programs
We consider the problem of estimating the internal state of a class of guarded-command programs. Such programs model dynamical systems that may have both continuous and discrete states. We propose a way to construct an observer that takes advantage of the guarded-command structure of the program. We then apply our ideas to the “RoboFlag Drill” example wherein two teams of robots compete in a si...
متن کاملEnhancing Roboflag Users’ Situational Awareness
The RoboFlag system was designed as a testbed to study distributed control of multiple vehicle teams with humans in the loop. This work analyzed the RoboFlag version 2.0 interface to identify existing issues with the users’ Situational Awareness (SA). The existing interface for RoboFlag was modified to create two new interfaces. The first interface focused on improved usability, while the secon...
متن کاملMulti-Vehicle Cooperative Control Using Mixed Integer Linear Programming
We present methods to synthesize cooperative strategies for multi-vehicle control problems using mixed integer linear programming. Complex multi-vehicle control problems are expressed as mixed logical dynamical systems. Optimal strategies for these systems are then solved for using mixed integer linear programming. We motivate the methods on problems derived from an adversarial game between two...
متن کاملDiscrete State Estimators for a Class of Hybrid Systems on a Lattice
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating discrete variables in a class of hybrid systems where we assume that the continuous variables are available for measurement. Using lattice and order theory we develop a framework for constructing a discrete state estimator on an enlarged space of variables with lattice structure, which updates only two variables at each step. We apply our idea...
