Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aimed at proposing (i) a novel passivity-based cooperative control scheme for human-mobile sensor networks and a novel game theoretic learning algorithm with adaptability to uncertain environment. Regarding the former issue, we succeeded in developing a novel passivity-based control architecture. Also, as an extension of the work, we presented a novel cooperative estimation algorithm, and the results were published in a premier journal of our research field. Moreover, a series of the related works were compiled into a book, and it has been recently published by Springer. In terms of the latter issue, we presented a novel payoff-based learning algorithm which ensures total optimality even under environmental uncertainties, and applied it to scenarios of environmental monitoring. These results were presented at a premier conference, and also almost accepted (with some minor revisions) for publication by a premier journal.
