Abstract
- In this paper, a distributed control architecture is presented for addressing the cooperative perimeter surveillance of rectangular areas for multi-agent system whose dynamics is described by double integrator models subject to exogenous bounded disturbances. In particular, a novel methodology to generate proper state trajectories of a swarm of agents is provided and then exploited as references for the underlying model predictive controllers bank. Specifically, the swarm is first driven along the perimeter of a rectangular strip and next imposed to enter a given containment region while remaining simultaneously outside a forbidden region around a prescribed target. Steady-state conditions are analyzed and sufficient conditions derived in terms of the control law parameters. Simulation results put in light the main properties of the control architecture that is designed to adequately switch between two different distributed algorithms in order to guarantee constraints satisfaction within the capturing region despite any disturbance realization.
