ABSTRACT
This chapter presents extensions to event-triggered control called self-triggered and teamtriggered control. It describes triggered control approaches for the coordination of networked cyber-physical systems. The chapter explains the design and analysis of triggered strategies for networked cyber-physical systems, with an emphasis on distributed interactions. Triggered approaches for control become even more relevant in the context of networked cyber-physical systems, where computation, actuation, sensing, and communication capabilities might not be collocated. The chapter reviews the main ideas behind the self- triggered approach for the control of a single plant. It illustrates the discussion on self- and team-triggered design of distributed coordination algorithms in a scenario involving the optimal deployment of a robotic sensor network. The team-triggered approach builds on the strengths of event- and self-triggered control to synthesize a unified approach for controlling networked systems in real time, which combines the best of both worlds.
