This book investigates distributed cooperative control and communication of MASs including linear systems, nonlinear systems and multiple rigid body systems. The model-based and data-driven control method are employed to design the (optimal) cooperative control protocol.
The approaches of this book consist of model-based and data-driven control such as predictive control, event-triggered control, optimal control, adaptive dynamic programming, etc.
From this book, readers can learn about distributed cooperative control methods, data-driven control, finite-time stability analysis, cooperative attitude control of multiple rigid bodies.   Some fundamental knowledge prepared to read this book is finite-time stability theory, event-triggered sampling mechanism, adaptive dynamic programming and optimal control.
