Distributed localization in dynamic networks via complex Laplacian. (English) Zbl 1520.93188

Summary: Different from most existing distributed localization approaches in static networks where the agents in a network are static, this paper addresses the distributed localization problem in dynamic networks where the positions of the agents are time-varying. Firstly, complex constraints for the positions of the agents are constructed based on local relative position (distance and local bearing) measurements. Secondly, both algebraic condition and graph condition of network localizability in dynamic networks are given. Thirdly, a distributed localization protocol is proposed such that all the agents can cooperatively find their positions by solving the complex constraints in dynamic networks. Fourthly, the proposed method is extended to address the problem of integrated distributed localization and formation control. It is worth mentioning that the proposed algorithm can also be applied in the case that only distance and sign of direction measurements are available, where the sign of direction measurement is a kind of one bit local relative measurement and has less information than local bearing.
