Consensus-based Networked Tracking in Presence of Heterogeneous Time-Delays
We propose a distributed (single) target tracking scheme based on networked estimation and consensus algorithms over static sensor networks. The tracking part is based on linear time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurement proposed in our previous works. This paper, in particular, develops delay-tolerant distributed filtering solutions over sparse data-transmission networks. We assume general arbitrary heterogeneous delays at different links. This may occur in many realistic large-scale applications where the data-sharing between different nodes is subject to latency due to communication-resource constraints or large spatially distributed sensor networks. The solution we propose in this work shows improved performance (verified by both theory and simulations) in such scenarios. Another privilege of such distributed schemes is the possibility to add localized fault-detection and isolation (FDI) strategies along with survivable graph-theoretic design, which opens many follow-up venues to this research. To our best knowledge no such delay-tolerant distributed linear algorithm is given in the existing distributed tracking literature.

Output Feedback Consensus for Networked Heterogeneous Nonlinear Negative-Imaginary Systems with Free Body Motion
This paper provides a protocol to address the robust output feedback consensus problem for networked heterogeneous nonlinear negative-imaginary (NI) systems with free body dynamics. We extend the definition of nonlinear …
Distributed Target Tracking based on Localization with Linear Time-Difference-of-Arrival Measurements: A Delay-Tolerant Networked Estimation Approach
This paper considers target tracking based on a beacon signal's time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) to a group of cooperating sensors. The sensors receive a reflected signal from the target where the time-of-arrival (TOA) …
An Algorithm For Adversary Aware Decentralized Networked MARL
Decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have become popular in the literature since it allows heterogeneous agents to have their own reward functions as opposed to canonical multi-agent Markov …
Multi-agent Reinforcement LearningConsensus-Based Distributed Estimation in the Presence of Heterogeneous, Time-Invariant Delays
Classical distributed estimation scenarios typically assume timely and reliable exchanges of information over the sensor network. This paper, in contrast, considers single time-scale distributed estimation via a sensor n…
