algorithms and algebraic tools), distributed algorithms on synchronous
networks, distributed linear algorithms, models and complexity notions
for robotic networks, connectivity maintenance and rendezvous algorithms,
deployment algorithms, advanced motion coordination algorithms.
Prerequisites:
Linear algebra. Knowledge of nonlinear dynamical systems and linear
control systems will be a plus, but not strictly necessary.
Textbook and course material:
The textbook is a
collection of lecture notes being developed by the instructor in
collaboration with professors Francesco Bullo and Jorge Cortés. Copies
will be made available to all students enrolled in the class.

Please consult with me no later than week 7 of the course to determine your project.
Suggested homeworks:
Some homework problems with be suggested in class. It won't be necessary to
turn them in. If you have doubts about how to solve a homework problem,
