Anytime Plug-and-Play Control with Contract-Based Distributed MPC
A central challenge in many mobile multi-robot applications is that communication topologies are inherently time-varying. Agents may enter or exit the network and such changes cannot generally be restricted a priori. This work introduces a distributed multi-agent control algorithm based on local communication that supports anytime agent joining and leaving the communication network without centralized coordination. The method scales efficiently with the number of agents by relying on a distance-based neighbor definition and on contracts derived from predicted trajectories. The resulting contract constraints guarantee collision avoidance and constraint satisfaction. We validate the proposed method in an autonomous multi-agent driving scenario, demonstrating effective collision avoidance in high-speed, dynamic environments with agents moving in opposite directions, in both simulated and real-world experiments.

Plug and Play Distributed Control of Clustered Energy Hub Networks
The transition to renewable energy is driving the rise of distributed multi-energy systems, in which individual energy hubs and prosumers (e.g., homes, industrial campuses) generate, store, and trade energy. Economic Mod…

Linear Convergence of Plug-and-Play Algorithms with Kernel Denoisers
The use of denoisers for image reconstruction has shown significant potential, especially for the Plug-and-Play (PnP) framework. In PnP, a powerful denoiser is used as an implicit regularizer in proximal algorithms such …
