The designed methods are expected to be used directly in multiple unmanned autonomous systems. The research plays a significant role in improving the autonomy and swarming of the pursuit system and has great application potential in search and rescue, intelligent transportation, and public protection.<\/p>\n<p><em>Background<br \/>\n<\/em>Multiple autonomous unmanned systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles, are projected to play important roles in many industrial and societal applications, such as search and rescue, cooperative payload carrying, and warehouse management. In the community of multi-agent control, the pursuit-evasion game has been a hot topic whose objectives are to achieve optimal sensor placement intelligent and distributed task allocation, following which the control problem is formulated as a distributed optimization problem with a defined performance index. The objectives of this project thus include the exploration of cooperative and distributed optimal control strategies with relative position measurements or bearing-only information.<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Digital Futures Postdoc Fellow<br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Panpan Zhou<\/strong> is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
