Decentralized Estimation and Control for Multisensor Systems, Hardcover by Mutambara, Arthur G. O., ISBN 0849318653, ISBN-13 9780849318658, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USExplores the problem of developing scalable, decentralized estimation and control algorithms for linear and nonlinear multisensor systems that would have applications in modular robotics and complex or large-scale systems such as the Mars Rover, the Mir station, and Space Shuttle Columbia. Unlike the hierarchical or centralized structure for gathering and processing data used by most existing algorithms, all information is processed locally in a fully decentralized system. The algorithms developed so far for decentralized data fusion, based on the linear information filter, obtain the same results as conventional centralized systems, but have limited scalability and are wasteful of communications and computational resources.
