Brief

Researchers have developed a new method for achieving safe distributed consensus in multi-agent systems. This approach addresses challenges posed by asymmetric actuator constraints and time-varying output safety requirements. By employing a barrier-coordinate transformation and a distributed synchronization law, the system ensures that agent inputs remain within admissible bounds and outputs stay within safe intervals.

Researchers have developed a novel guidance law for interceptors that simultaneously controls impact time and angle. This approach uses a hierarchical sliding mode architecture to manage the underactuated nonlinear engagement kinematics. The method has been simulated and shown effective for intercepting both stationary and constant velocity targets. AI
