Abstract:
Multi-agent systems can be modeled at different scales, from microscopic to macroscopic. At all scales, the control of such systems is challenging, but a promising direction is the Lagrangian approach. Typically, one tries to steer the system to a desired state by acting on a small number of agents. We present some theoretical frameworks as well as applications to traffic control via autonomous vehicles and crowd monitoring via drones.
