Multi-agent gradient climbing via extremum seeking control

Sei Zhen Khong, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Dragan Nešić
2014 IFAC Proceedings Volumes  
The framework is useful in that a broad range of nonlinear programming algorithms can be combined with a wide class of cooperative control laws to perform extreme source seeking.  ...  A unified framework based on discrete-time gradient-based extremum seeking control is proposed to localise an extremum of an unknown scalar field distribution using a group of equipped with sensors.  ...  In Section 3. it is shown how the framework can be adapted for extreme source seeking with a single autonomous vehicle. Source seeking with multiple sensor-enabled agents is considered in Section 4.  ...
