Heterogeneous dynamics
Project description
Most academic results on robotic swarm coordination assume identical subsystems. With such
controllers, individual deviations in subsystem properties can sometimes have catastrophic
consequences. This project develops mechanisms that explicitly incorporate robustness to structured
heterogeneities into coordination controllers. One proposed approach would use dynamical decoupling
methods from quantum control to average out parameter deviations and measurement biases in
collective robotic motions.
