Multi-agent Consensus Using Generalized Cyclic Pursuit Strategies
(2009-05-11)One of the main focus of research on multi-agent systems is that of coordination in a group of agents to solve problems that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Each agent in the multi-agent system has limited ... -
Multi-Agent Positional Consensus Under Various Information Paradigms
(2017-02-22)This thesis addresses the problem of positional consensus of multi-agent systems. A positional consensus is achieved when the agents converge to a point. Some applications of this class of problem is in mid-air refueling ... -
Multi-Agent Search Using Voronoi Partition
(2010-08-05)This thesis addresses a multi-agent search problem where several agents, equipped with sensors and communication devices, search an unknown area. Lack of information about the search space is modeled as an uncertainty ... -
Negotiator Initiated Connectivity Restoration in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are groups of sensors, connected by communication links, spread over the area of interest, to perform a specific task. The network may get partitioned into clusters due to unanticipated ... -
Odor Source Localization Using Swarm Robotics
(2010-06-02)Locating an odor source in a turbulent environment, an instinctive behavior of insects such as moths, is a nontrivial task in robotics. Robots equipped with odor sensors find it difficult to locate the odor source due to the ... -
Optimal Resource Allocation In Lanchester Attrition Model Based Conflicts
(2009-05-06)Force deployment and optimal resource allocation has been an area of considerable research interest in conventional warfare. In the modern scenario, with significant advances in technology related to communication and ... -
Real Time Solutions to Aerospace Optimal Control Problems
A real-time autonomous trajectory generation methodology for aerospace vehicles using pseudo-spectral based global collocation methods is presented in this thesis. The proposed method is formulated in a manner whereby ... -
Resource Allocation for Natural Disasters using a Game-theoretic Framework
The occurrence of a severe natural disaster causes loss of life and destruction of properties. The overall criticality of the disaster depends on the nature of the disaster and the physical characteristics of the affected ... -
Satellite Attitude Determination from Terrestrial/Planetary Landmarks
Attitude Determination (AD) or specifying orientation relative to a known reference frame plays a crucial role in meeting the mission specific pointing goals of a satellite. Attitude sensors provide measurements of known ... -
Search Strategies For Multiple Autonomous Agents
(2011-10-13) -
Sliding Mode Control Based Guidance Strategies with Terminal Constraints
(2018-07-23)In the guidance literature, minimizing miss distance along with optimizing the energy usage had been an objective for several decades. In current day applications, additional terminal performance such as impact angle and ... -
Synchronized and Balanced Collective Formations in Multi-Agent Systems
(2018-07-14)Multi-agent systems possess improved robustness properties over single agent systems, and hence, are more desirable for various engineering applications, where it is required for the multiple agents to move in a formation. ... -
Time-Optimal Guidance for Impact Angle Constrained Interception of Moving Targets
(2018-05-30)Various unmanned missions deploy vehicles such as missiles, torpedoes, ground robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Guidance strategies for these vehicles aim to intercept a target point and satisfy additional objectives ... -
UAV Group Autonomy In Network Centric Environment
(2016-11-23)It is a well-recognized fact that unmanned aerial vehicles are an essential element in today’s network-centric integrated battlefield environment. Compared to solo UAV missions, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles deployed ... -
Vision-based Strategies for Landing of Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(2018-05-14)Vision-based conventional landing of a fixed wing UAV is addressed in this thesis. The work includes mathematical modeling, interface to a software for rendering the outside scenery, image processing techniques, control law ...
