To solve the distributed task allocation problems of search and rescue missions for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), this paper establishes a dynamic task allocation model under three conditions: 1) when new targets are detected, 2) when UAVs break down and 3) when unexpected threats suddenly occur. A distributed immune multi-agent algorithm (DIMAA) based on an immune multi-agent network framework is then proposed. The technologies employed by the proposed algorithm include a multi-agent system (MAS) with immune memory, neighbourhood clonal selection, neighbourhood suppression, neighbourhood crossover and self-learning operators. The DIMAA algorithm simplifies the decision-making process among agents. The simulation results show that this algorithm not only obtains the global optimum solution, but also reduces the communication load between agents.

In this paper, we discuss the linear consensus problem and group decision regulation in switching undirected multi-agent networks. A single-leader tracking servomechanism approach is introduced to solve this problem. Based on this approach, a stabilizing controller is designed. The proposed controller can achieve state consensus and regulate the group decision value to the desired value. A distinctive feature of this work is to regulate the group decision value without the information of initial states by a concise servomechanism and a virtual leader. As an example of the proposed scheme, the consensus of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with switching topology is investigated. The numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for tracking constant signals and piece-wise constant signals, respectively.
