Game Theory based Control Method for Multi-Agent Systems

• Master Thesis
• Aimed to explore in depth the interactions among agents in a multi-agent system, and then to design controllers by combining data-driven approach, game theory and formation control method, enhancing the capability of multi-agent systems.
• Developed a pursuit-evasion game to obtain the trajectory of the multi-agent system in the face of a dynamic target, and designed a robust adaptive control with artificial potential field to minimize tracking errors and maintain specific configurations.
• Proposed a novel formation control scheme that integrates data-driven approaches for modeling agent interactions and cooperative game frameworks for controlling satellites based on their coupled relationship.
• Published one journal article and one conference article by applying the proposed algorithm to tethered space net robot, and wrote a grant proposal by extending the proposed algorithm to satellite cluster.

Motion Planning and Control for Multi-UAV Cooperative Transportation

• Bachelor Thesis
• Aimed to design motion planning approaches and formation control schemes for multiple UAVs, enabling them to collaborate in transporting payloads via tethers.
