Multi-Agent Decision Making

A multi-agent system consists of individual agents sharing information and coordinating for collective decision making. The study of multi-agent decision making has important implications in conceiving networked engineering systems - a team of mobile robots or a fleet of drones - that can effectively coordinate to carry out assigned missions. Modeling such system as feedback interconnections of many smaller units allows us to examine its long-term behavior using analytical tools from feedback control theory, such as Lyapunov stability and bifurcation analysis. In this presentation, we discuss how such tools can be used to predict asymptotic behavior of the agents' decision making process and also to design computational models of the decision making process.
