De 22 a 31 de outubro de 2014 teremos a visita dos Professores/Pesquisadores Jamal Daafouz e Romain Postayan, (CRAN-Université de Lorraine, Nancy, França), em missão de trabalho no contexto de um Projeto de Cooperação Internacional CAPES-COFECUB. Participam deste projeto os professores do PPGEAS Edson de Pieri, Ubirajara Moreno e Eugênio de Bona Castelan.

Em especial, Romain Postayan (Chercheur CNRS) apresentará um Seminário  conforme segue:

Title: A Lyapunov redesign of coordination algorithms for systems subject to resource constraints

Abstract:

The objective is to design distributed coordination strategies for a network of agents in a cyberphysical environment. In particular, we concentrate on the rendez-vous of agents having double-integrator dynamics with the addition of a damping term in the velocity dynamics. We start with distributed controllers that solve the problem in continuous-time, and we then explain how to implement these using event-based sampling.  The idea is to define a triggering rule per edge using a clock variable which only depends on the local variables. The triggering laws  are designed to compensate for the perturbative term introduced by the sampling, a technique that reminds of Lyapunov-based control redesign.

We first present an event-triggered solution which requires continuous measurement of the relative position and we then explain how to convert it to a self-triggered policy. The latter only requires the measurements of the relative position and velocity at the last transmission instants, which is useful to reduce both the communication and the computation costs. The strategies guarantee the existence of a uniform minimum amount of times between any two edge events. The analysis is carried out using an invariance principle for hybrid systems. This is a joint work with Claudio de Persis (University of Groningen, The Netherlands).
