In this paper, the consensus <strong>of</strong> second-order multi-agent systems with<br />

exogenous disturbances generated by nonlinear exosystem is investigated.<br />

Firstly, a dynamic gain technique based disturbance observer<br />

is presented to estimate the exogenous disturbance generated by<br />

nonlinear exosystem. Secondly, based on the presented disturbance<br />

observer, consensus protocol is further proposed. A rigorous consensus<br />

analysis is performed. Finally, an example is provided to show the<br />

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the proposed results.<br />

This paper addresses the problem <strong>of</strong> sweep-based persistent surveillance<br />

(SBPS) using multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Due<br />

to the variation <strong>of</strong> priority distributed in the area under surveillance, a<br />

novel concept <strong>of</strong> level-<strong>of</strong>-interest (LoI) is introduced to represent the<br />

relative priorities <strong>of</strong> the target areas. Inspired by an “age”- related<br />

algorithm in literature, we develop a novel recursive scheme with the<br />

LoI consideration. The algorithms on both single UAV case and multiple<br />

UAVs case are developed to decide the optimal target-choice based<br />

on the age-based performance index. The potential benefits <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />

algorithms are demonstrated by simulations in both single UAV<br />

cases and multiple UAVs cases.<br />

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this paper is to analyze the robustness <strong>of</strong> the given guidance<br />

laws by quantify the influence <strong>of</strong> model and target maneuver uncertainties<br />

on system performance valued by miss distance. The Pure<br />

Proportional Navigation (PPN), True Proportional Navigation (TPN) and<br />

Generalized True Proportional Navigation (GTPN) guidance laws <strong>of</strong> terminal<br />

guidance system are considered in this paper. The analyzing<br />

performance is tackled by a differential linear matrix inequalities (DL-<br />

MI) approach and this approach is demonstrated on a simple concrete<br />

example. The solution <strong>of</strong> DLMI is also proposed in this article which<br />

idea is to reduce it to an algebraic linear matrix inequality (LMI) by discretization.<br />

A numerical example is given to analyze the robustness<br />

<strong>of</strong> terminal guidance system (TGS) with different guidance laws in the<br />

end.<br />

The attitude control <strong>of</strong> unmanned helicopter needs accurate acceleration,<br />

velocity and attitude information. The error induced by using low<br />

cost and low precision inertial component which widely used in the s-<br />

trapdown inertial navigation system cannot be neglected. In order to<br />

reduce the effect <strong>of</strong> the error, the navigation equation <strong>of</strong> unmanned helicopter<br />

is established by using quaternion method and the filtering problem<br />

<strong>of</strong> the GPS/INS navigation system is investigated based on the extended<br />

kalman filter theory. The last numerical simulation demonstrates<br />

the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the proposed design, and the design satisfies the<br />

engineering accuracy.<br />

Biological control mechanism has motivated central pattern generator<br />

(CPG) circuits as the basic architecture <strong>of</strong> nonlinear control laws to<br />

achieve coordinated oscillations <strong>of</strong> engineered systems. In this paper,<br />

the coordinated oscillations <strong>of</strong> a multi-link pendulum on slope (MPOS)<br />

system are investigated. In an MPOS model, the gravity <strong>of</strong> the links<br />

and their interaction (friction) with the slope excites and damps the<br />

oscillating motion, respectively. With the sensory feedback from the<br />

links’angular states, the entrainment to a class <strong>of</strong> natural oscillations<br />

is achieved by a CPG based controller. The entrainment is robust with<br />

respect to a certain environmental and body variations.<br />

Nowadays, consensus <strong>of</strong> multi-agent systems (MAS) is an intriguing<br />

topic which receives increasing attention from various disciplines recently.<br />

Traditionally, the analysis <strong>of</strong> consensusability for a given MAS<br />

with switching topology can be ttributed to some techniques such as<br />

eigenvalue analysis, convergence <strong>of</strong> Markov chain, Lyapunov candidate<br />

construction, and so on. However, all these techniques are based<br />

on some restrictive conditions and hardly be generalized to the case<br />

<strong>of</strong> general switching topology. This paper aims at providing an inner<br />

explanation that the general consensus problem <strong>of</strong> MAS with switching<br />

topology can be transformed into the numerical calculation <strong>of</strong> the Lyapunov<br />

exponent for a given set <strong>of</strong> matrices. Consequently, the consensus<br />

<strong>of</strong> MAS with general switching topology can be resolved by using<br />

the existing numerical algorithm <strong>of</strong> Lyapunov exponent.<br />

Consensus decision-making <strong>of</strong> animal groups in motion, pp.952–957<br />

In this paper, we will investigate the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> leaders in animal<br />

groups by a discrete-time multi-agent system. The model is composed<br />

<strong>of</strong> two subgroups <strong>of</strong> agents: informed agents(called leaders) and uninformed<br />

agents(called followers). All agents move in the plane with<br />

a constant speed, but with different heading update laws. For the followers,<br />

the heading is updated according to the average direction <strong>of</strong><br />

neighbors, while the heading <strong>of</strong> leaders is taken as the balance between<br />

the local interaction <strong>of</strong> neighbors and the preferred direction. For<br />

such a system, we will provide a necessary condition and a sufficient<br />

condition for the consensus decision-making.<br />

Pinning Synchronization Criterion for Impulsive Dynamical Networks,<br />

pp.1976–1981<br />

Yu, Wenwu<br />

This paper focuses on the problem <strong>of</strong> global synchronization for impulsive<br />

coupled dynamical networks via pinning control. Controlling<br />

impulsive synchronization <strong>of</strong> the network by changing the differences<br />

between some chosen nodes and the reference signal step by step is<br />

the main idea discussed in this paper, regardless <strong>of</strong> whether there is a<br />

synchronized or desynchronized impulses for the dynamical networks.<br />

In the previous literature, results are devoted to investigating criterion<br />

for synchronization with impulsive control on all the nodes in dynamical<br />
