Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we have established a framework of broadcast control of multi-agent systems. Here, the "broadcast control" means governing multi-agent systems by sending the same signal to the all agents indiscriminatingly, under the assumption that there is no agent-to-agent communication. In this control scheme, the agents do not need devices and energy for information transmission, which will be an advantage in various applications, such as smart grids and biological systems. In the project, we have presented several theoretical results. Moreover, we have applied the framework to control problems of maximizing power generation in a solar/wind farm, and demonstrated the effectiveness of the broadcast control.
