Unlock the future of multiagent system control with Predictive Cooperative Control for High-Order Fully Actuated Multiagent Systems (HOFAMAS). This groundbreaking work introduces an innovative framework for analyzing and designing the cooperative control protocols, enabling readers to achieve the satisfactory cooperative control performances in theoretical research and practical applications. By simplifying complex control designs, the book offers a robust foundation for ensuring desired consensus and stability in HOFAMASs.

The Open Access book presents advanced predictive cooperative control methods to address pressing challenges, including communication constraints, cyberattacks, and system uncertainties. From proportional-integral control for systems with fixed communication delays to sliding-mode approaches for handling deception attacks, each chapter provides cutting-edge solutions validated through rigorous experiments, including the formation control of air-bearing spacecraft simulators.
