Coordination of passive systems under quantized measurements

TL;DR

This paper explores how passive systems can be coordinated and synchronized using quantized measurements, demonstrating practical achievement of these tasks for a broad class of such systems.

Contribution

It introduces a passivity-based approach to handle quantized measurements in collective coordination and synchronization problems.

Findings

Coordination tasks are practically achievable with quantized measurements.

The approach applies to a large class of passive systems.

Passivity-based methods ensure robustness under measurement quantization.

Abstract

In this paper we investigate a passivity approach to collective coordination and synchronization problems in the presence of quantized measurements and show that coordination tasks can be achieved in a practical sense for a large class of passive systems.
