Spotlight publication Distributed model predictive control for vessel train formations of cooperative multi-vessel systems "Recently, the cooperative control of multiple vessels has been gaining increasing attention because of the potential robustness, reliability and efficiency of multi-agent systems. In this paper, we propose the concept of Cooperative Multi-Vessel Systems (CMVSs) consisting of multiple coordinated autonomous vessels. In particular, we focus on the cooperative behavior between vessels in a CMVS. We n..." [More...] L. Chen, J.J. Hopman, R.R. Negenborn.
