Coalition formation(CF) refers to reasonably organizing robots and/or humans to form coalitions that can satisfy mission requirements, attracting more and more attention in many fields such as multirobot collaboration and human-robot collaboration. However, the analysis on CF problems remains *** provide a valuable study reference for researchers interested in CF, this paper proposed a capabilitycentric analysis of the CF problem. The key problem elements of CF are firstly extracted by referencing the concepts of the 5W1H method. That is, objects(who) form coalitions(what) to accomplish missions(why) by aggregating capabilities(how) in a specific environment(where-when). Then, a multi-view analysis of these elements and their correlation in terms of capabilities is proposed through various logic diagrams, structure charts, etc. Finally, to facilitate a deeper understanding of capability-centric CF, a general mathematical model is constructed, demonstrating how the different concepts discussed in this analysis contribute to the overall model.

This article addresses the model-and data-based event-triggered consensus of heterogeneous leader/follower multi-agent systems(MASs). A dynamic periodic transmission protocol is developed to alleviate the communication and computational burden, where the followers can interact locally with neighbors to approach the dynamics of the leader. Capitalizing on a discrete-time looped-functional, a model-based consensus condition for the closed-loop MASs is derived as linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), along with a design method for obtaining distributed event-triggered controllers and the associated triggering *** collecting noise-corrupted state-input measurements in offline open-loop experiments, a data-based leader/follower MAS representation is derived and employed to address the data-driven consensus control problem without explicit MAS models. This result is subsequently generalized to guarantee an H∞-consensus control performance. Finally, a simulation example is given to corroborate the efficiency of the proposed distributed triggering scheme and the data-driven consensus controller.

In this work, an affine formation maneuver control problem is studied for second-order multiagent system. The agents' task is to achieve affine formation maneuver through local interaction while minimizing the global time-varying cost functions. First, a distributed time-varying optimization problem with affine formation constraints is presented, where the solution trajectory is the affine transformation of the desired nominal configuration. Second, distributed time-varying optimization-based protocols are proposed. Using the proposed protocols, the agents' states asymptotically converge to the optimal solution, and thus the desired affine formation and the collective maneuvers issues can be solved. Third, the asymptotic convergence is proved using Lyapunov arguments. Finally, the effectiveness of the protocols is demonstrated by numerical simulation and experimental examples.

In this study, we introduce a novel auction-based algorithm modeled as a decentralized coalition formation game, designed for the complex requirements of large-scale multi-robot task allocation under uncertain demand. This context is particularly illustrative in scenarios where robots are tasked to charge electric vehicles. The algorithm begins by partitioning a composite task sequence into distinct subsets based on spatial similarity principles. Subsequently, we employ a coalition formation game paradigm to coordinate the assembly of robots into cooperative coalitions focused on these distinct subsets. To mitigate the impact of unpredictable task demands on allocations, our approach utilizes the conditional value-at-risk to assess the risk associated with task execution, along with computing the potential revenue of the coalition with an emphasis on risk-related outcomes. Additionally, integrating consensus auctions into the coalition formation framework allows our approach to accommodate assignments for individual robot-task pairings, thus preserving the stability of individual robotic decision autonomy within the coalition structure and assignment distribution. Simulative analyses on a prototypical parking facility layout confirm that our algorithm achieves Nash equilibrium within the coalition structure in polynomial time and demonstrates significant scalability. Compared to competing algorithms, our proposal exhibits superior performance in resilience, task execution efficiency, and reduced overall task completion times. The results demonstrate that our approach is an effective strategy for solving the scheduling challenges encountered by multi-robot systems operating in complex environments. IEEE

This study investigates the consensus control issue in discrete-time linear multi-agent systems(MASs) using data-driven control under undirected communication networks. To alleviate the communication burden, an adaptive event-triggered control strategy involving only local information is proposed and a model-based stability condition is derived that guarantees the asymptotic consensus of MASs. Furthermore,a data-based consensus condition for unknown MASs is established by combining a data-based system representation with the model-based stability condition, using only pre-collected noisy input-state data instead of the accurate system information a priori. Specifically, both model-based and data-driven event-triggered controllers can be utilized without requiring any global information. The validity and correctness of the controllers and associated theoretical results are demonstrated via numerical simulations.
