Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems develops a framework for modeling and control of a network of multi-agent unmanned systems in a cooperative manner and with consideration of non-ideal and practical considerations. The main focus of this book is the development of “synthesis-based” algorithms rather than on conventional “analysis-based” approaches to the team cooperation, specifically the team consensus problems. The authors provide a set of modified “design-based” consensus algorithms whose optimality is verified through introduction of performance indices.

From the book reviews: "The book is structured in six chapters, a rich list of references, an index terms, a list of explanations of the figures which are included. ... The book is targeted for researchers, scientists and graduate-level university students who are interested in becoming familiar with design of consensus-seeking algorithms in the general area of networked dynamical systems."
