Question 1.
Define the Consensus Problem in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what it means to agree in a group.
Question 2.
What is an adjacency matrix?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how agents communicate.
3Question 3.
What is the Consensus Problem?
- A central control mechanism
- Reaching agreement among agents
- A type of algorithm
Show hintHide hint
Consider the role of agreement in coordinating actions.
4Question 4.
True or False? The Vicsek model is used for aligning velocities among swarm agents.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about flocking behavior in nature.
Question 5.
Design a decentralized system where agents must agree on a target location in a dynamic environment. What algorithms could you use to address delays and ensure effective consensus?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how agents interact in changing scenarios.
Question 6.
Evaluate the impacts of network topology on the consensus process. How would different structures (e.g., ring vs. complete graph) uniquely affect convergence?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the flow of information among agents.
