The applications of multi-agent systems are diverse, ranging from cooperative control of unmanned air vehicles, formation control of mobile robots, control of communication networks, design of sensor- network, to flocking of social insects, swarm-based computing, etc My research includes stability analysis of cooperative control with coupled dynamic systems and multi- agent consensus control in presence of delays. Design of network topologies that can withstand larger delays without loosing stability. The most updated progress is Responsible Eigenvalue concepts in networked systems with time delay.
