Data-rate requirements for nonlinear Feedback control

Abstract This paper and talk describe recent research on communication and information processing requirements for implementing nonlinear feedback control laws in applications such as the coordinated motion control of groups of mobile robots. The principal focus is on how the well-known data-rate theorem might be reformulated in the context of essentially nonlinear control problems.
