Cooperative distributed MPC of linear systems with coupled constraints
This paper enables, for the first time, cooperative performance benefits to be delivered alongside guaranteed robust coupled constraint satisfaction, yet, uniquely, without the need for negotiation or a supervisory agent. Researchers at BAE Systems ATC demonstrated the algorithm on an operational situation from the ALADDIN project (contact: Auxiliary Systems Engineering Manager). The paper led to invitation to join international collaboration (Negenborn, TU-Delft; Mc Namara, NUI Maynooth; and others), which is preparing a journal article on how cooperative DMPC can inform on group coordination/behaviour in life/social sciences.
