Cooperative Safety Control of Multiagent Systems

This open access book focuses on cooperative safety control design for multi-agent systems based on the fully actuated system approach. It presents recent theoretical advances and applications for addressing cooperative control problems under actuator faults and external disturbances. Key topics explored include prescribed-time control, prescribed performance control, and fault-tolerant game control. A central feature of the book is its proposal and utilization of the fully actuated system approach for cooperative safety control, offering distinct advantages by significantly reducing the complexity of control design and stability analysis. This open access book is primarily designed for engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students who aspire to deepen their understanding of cooperative control in multi-agent systems. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for professionals in related fields such as multi-robot systems, unmanned aerial vehicle formations, and control engineering. Moreover, the content is well-suited for advanced courses or seminars focused on these subjects.
