A hierarchical cyclic pursuit scheme for vehicle networks
The agreement problem is studied whereby a group of mobile agents achieves convergence to a common point. A hierarchical cyclic pursuit scheme is introduced, and it is shown that ...

Deployment of drifters in a piecewise-constant flow environment
We study a deployment strategy for a group of vehicles that drift in an ambient flow field. Specifically, we address the case where the flow is always greater in magnitude than an ...
