Meta-Consensus: Consensus as a Fundamental Concept on Swarm System Dynamics and Formation Control

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this note a theoretical framework based on consensus of dynamic swarm systems is presented. Consensus is somewhat analogous to equilibrium, and it is the foundation for topics such as formation control and swarm stability in a decentralized viewpoint.
