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 />

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 />
