Distributed Collaborative Control Using Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks

Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) in which actuators perform actuation based on sensory information exhibit great potential in environment control, building automation, agriculture, etc. In this paper, we focus on the problem of designing control methods for actuators to control the environment and meet user requirements based only on local sensory information. A novel distributed collaborative control strategy is proposed and shows good performance under system noises and communication unreliability.
