”This dissertation presents a new method for distributively sensing dynamic environments utilizing integral action based system theoretic distributed information fusion methods. Specifically, the main contribution is a new class of dynamic consensus filters, termed active-passive dynamic consensus filters, in which agents are considered to be active, if they are able to sense an exogenous quantity of interest and are considered to be passive, otherwise, where the objective is to drive the states of all agents to the convex hull spanned by the exogenous inputs sensed by active agents. Additionally, we generalize these results to allow agents to locally …
