Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology holds great promise for various civilian and military applications. Cooperative control of a network of autonomous UAVs poses novel challenges because of the inherent constraints like non-holonomic motion, limited range communication, etc. In this dissertation, we present some recently-developed tools and strategies for motion coordination of UAVs. In particular, the focus is on algorithms for various coordination tasks such as vehicle routing to meet service demands, deployment over a region for surveillance and flying in flock-like formations.
